Hola! Welcome to the city of Madrid.In this guide you will find tips and advice on a range of interesting things to do andsee in Madrid, including where to eat, shop, party and explore.

Madrid is a very lively city that has something for everyone to enjoy. It is said thatthe Spanish consider the most beautiful thing in their country to be their 'solidarity',and indeed the Madrileo live up to this in every sense. And don't be afraid topractice your spanish with the locals.

Madrid is a large city made up of a number of barrios or zones, so it almost feels likelots of smaller towns clustered together as the different areas all have their owndistinctive character. It's a place where there is so much to see anddo that it is impossible to run out ofthings to explore and discover.

2. TransportMadrids numerous attractions are spread out a little far across the map to travel everywhere on foot, and so to make themost of your time in the city its a good idea to get to know the various modes of transportation available. The most com-mon way to get around is the Metro; however buses do also run, notably after 1:30am when the Metro closes. Alternatively,taxis are fairly reasonably priced, however it is sensible to take them from a central area like Sol.

Train

The most economical way for touriststo get around is to buy the 10 Trip Metro-Bus Ticket. It costs 12.20E and is usablein Metro Zone A and the EMT buses, ex-cept Plaza de Colon- Airport route.

However, if you only need to make a fewjourneys, a single metro ticket in ZoneA costs 1.50- 2E

Pass the ticket through the turnstileon entering the station to validate the

journey.

The metro runs every day from 6am 1:30am

*Except Pitus station in Line 7 and thesection between Puerta de Argandaand Arganda del Rey stations in Line 9which have restricted opening times.

Tickets are available at ticket booths orusing the automatic machines at anyof the Metro network stations (Metro

Zona A, MetroSur, MetroNorte, Metro-Este and TFM)

Language

El lenguaje de las calles

If youre feeling brave, why not use some more advanced words? If you really wantto communicate in more depth and make friends, then you need to know morephrases than the ones you learn in textbooks or language dictionaries. Learn howto talk like a proper Madrileo (Madridian), and try some slang!

NB: For words with o/a after them, the o ending refers to boys (or masculineobjects), and ending the word in a turns it into a word to describe or talk to girls(or about feminine objects).

Oye! Hey, oiVale OkClaro Used similarly to Vale. Used a lot to show you derstand or agree with what someone is saying, or to that you are listening. Literally translates as clear

A ver lets see. (Use when you are thinking, deciding olooking for something)Venga! Come on! (You can also use Anda when you wsomeone to hurry up with something)Venga va! Youre on!Date prisa! Hurry yourself up!No pasa nada no problem, no big dealDios mio/Por Dios Oh my god/ For gods sakeY Qu? So what?Pibe GuyVaya Haha, or oh dear. Used as an emotional expressSin duda/No cabe duda No doubt, without a doubt
