[@MattJWoz]

I really enjoyed this video and, having visited the city quite a few times as well, I think you hit on a lot of the best things to see and do and your presentation was engaging too! Even though I've seen these sites before, I still loved watching and it made me that much more excited for my next trip back to Spain! Thanks for the video! The one thing I'd push back on a bit is the comment on the metro, though. I find it to be very well connected with many stations which are right outside or a very short walk away from lots of points of interest and, in my opinion, the metro in Madrid is better connected than the one in Barcelona. Of course, I recognize each person's experience may be different, and it depends where you want to go, but for anyone watching that might be researching a visit to Madrid, I'd consider the metro as an amazing way to get around in general. In less than 15 minutes on line 2, you can get from Retiro station to Noviciado station without a transfer, then walk to Templo de Debod in about 10 minutes, passing through the Plaza de España, which is worth a visit, on the way. Otherwise, I agree with everything else you said in the video! Thanks for sharing your experience with the amazing city of Madrid with the world!

[@EatSeeTV]

That's wonderful. Totally get everyone has different opinions about the metro. I think it didn't help that several of the lines were under renovation during that time, so it was less connected than normal.

Madrid es muy hermoso, saludos desde Lima ciudad de los reyes 😎🇵🇪

[@codeTRIP777B-TRIP00]

Thank you immensely for the wonderful video about traveling to Madrid! ❤Your detailed tips are perfect for newcomers like me who want to plan their itinerary carefully. After Barcelona I'm going to take the train to Madrid, my friend said it only takes about two and a half hours and it's very convenient. And she also taught me how to buy cheap tickets! I can't wait for my exciting trip to Spain after my final exam!

[@EatSeeTV]

Have a blast! We took the train from Madrid to the south then to Barcelona. We LOVE traveling by train there.

[@suewellings4500]

You guys just made us want to jump on a plane to Madrid! It looked so warm there and the food and culture in that city is amazing. When was it filmed? We’d like to visit Spain this winter to escape the Canadian winters. Can you recommend? Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦😊

[@EatSeeTV]

Wohoo so fun! Madrid is chilly in winter. Nothing like Canada haha but it snowed several feet last year. Spring (April and May) and fall (September and October) are the best months to visit for sure. Do not go in summer (especially August)! We were there mid Sept. And the weather was PERFECT

[@suewellings4500]

Too bad 😢 Maybe we’ll manage a trip in April/May as you suggest. All I need now is your perfect grasp of the Spanish language. Gracias amigos!🥰

Love Madrid. We live in the South and whenever we can, we take the Ave ( fast train ) and visit. I would not say it is as intense and NY Times Square as you can escape the main streets by navigating the back streets. Always something to discover in Madrid. Avoid the tourist traps like the San Miguel food and drink market. Overpriced! There are many more… Visit Toledo, Segovia, EL Escorial, la Granja all within a day’s trip outside of Madrid. Loved the video.

[@MattJWoz]

Totalmente de acuerdo. La red de Madrid, en mi opinión, es más fácil de usar y entender, los billetes son más baratos y multipersonales así con un billete de 10 viajes viaja todo el grupo, tiene más estaciones, y las estaciones están justo al lado de la mayoría de los puntos de interés.
