Answer 4

study up on your spanish artists, there are some great museums.  some of the best partying in the world is there, too. get ready for some hot and humid weather. It's a beautiful place, enjoy!

Answer 5

Like most large cities,Madrid has more than it's share of pickpockets and purse snatchers,so use common sense.Madrid is expensive,but if you stay clear of the tourist areas (most of the time) you can get by a little cheaper.The weather is best in the spring or fall,and it is really hot in the summer months,so pack accordingly.I am sure you have already investigated the places to see,(points of interest).If you get a chance to come to Valencia (my city) then you should do so,It is much nicer than Madrid,and the weather here is great.Hope you enjoy your visit.

Answer 6

Get your bonus for subway, is cheaper. If u enjoy night life, host your self near to subway stop Sol, this area have lots of places to hangh out and meet people, besides, fun ends up reaaally late.

The Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía, are a must, they are cheaper with student I.D. , so visit 'em, as the Chocolatería San Ginés, is a whole and a delicious experience... I can send u pics if u want!... I have been back last sunday

Answer 7

Spain is incredibly cool

You'll have fun

watch out for the men.....they can get annoying

Answer 8

The most important thing is to.. WATCH YOUR BAGS.  I mean , don't put it beside you if u sit down at a restaurant. This includes wallets, suitcases, and Do not wear expensive or flashy jewelry, it can get snatched off you. I went to spain there are alot of thieves out on the streets, at the university, restaurants, everywhere. Even hotel maids. Never leave money sitting out, and don't put it in a drawer. If they find it while they are cleaning, i betcha they will keep it. People wore their backpacks and purses in front of them. So be careful. use travellers checks.. if they get stolen you can get your money back. ALWAYS ask if you have to pay to exchange your money, because in some areas (train stations..etc) you will have to pay just to echange money. Ok now to the fun stuff.. go see a bullfight! And go to the castles, go to El Alhambra in Toledo, and go to Alicante. Love the beach there. Also, WATCH YOUR PASSPORT. it will get stolen. Foreigners love U.S.A. passports (i have no idea what they can do with it maybe duplicate it.) Well have fun!!
