Answer 1

Tell us where you want to go to and from and I will look it up on www.metromadrid.es and let you know what it says.

Answer 2

Make sure you keep your witts about you  when your on the metro- pick pockets are everywhere.  One old bloke pretended to fall over when the train pulle dout of the station - he fell against me and 2 eastern europeans came to his aid and in the process managed to nick my wallet. Apart from that its a great city.

Answer 3

If you want to ask in Spanish '' Can you buy a daily ticket for the Metro in Madrid ?. Its (...Puedos compar un boleto diario para el metro En madrid ? ) Ask for the answer in English .'' Can I have the answer in English please.''. ( Podria tener respuesta en ingles por favor.. ) Try the Spanish Q&A and see how you get on..Good luck

Answer 4

yes, if you want you can buy only day ticket (for one trip, ten trips...), also you can buy ticket for several days (for example, for a week, or one month, or for all year...). There are a lot of possibilities!!

Answer 5

Hello, Im spanish, and i live in Madrid, well my english is a bit bad... but ill try to explain; In Madrid you can buy two kind of tickets, the simple one... its valid for a trip, for example to go from Plaza de España to Sol. Or you can buy a ten trip ticket, then you can use it ten times.

If you want to travel far away, you need a bit expensive ticket... Madrid is divided in zones.... A, A1, B, B1 etc...... the centre of Madrid is A, and i suposed if you go sightseen, only need the simple ticket.

Anyway, u come from England... so u must know the ticket in the airport cost 2 euro (if u are in the T4 of the airport only!!!)... and the tickets in the rest of the city cost only 1 euro...

But dont worry about the metro is safe but always late.

I hope it helps, in spite of my poor english. Sorry!
