This section of GoMadrid is dedicated to general Madrid information.

First of all, we offer our visitors a number of Madrid maps, including an excellent city map, a map of the Metro, local train routes and also a few maps of Spain.

For practical information about the location and climate of Madrid, public holidays, clothes and customs, electrical and Internet connections, check out our Practicalities page. And if you’d like to know the current temperature, we give you the chance to take a sneak peek at the Madrid weather, in a section that also shows you the current time in Spain.

Would you like to know more? How about reading our summary of the history of Madrid? Maybe you’re worried that your stay will coincide with public holidays or fiestas in Madrid?

And if you need practical or tourist information once you’re in Spain’s capital, you might wish to visit one of the tourist information offices.

If you’re attending a trade fair, you may wish to see our IFEMA page. 

Please use the links to the left to find out all you need to know for your visit to Madrid.
