Madrid is a safe and welcoming city for solo travellers. Watch for pickpockets around Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía and on the Metro. The Lavapiés and La Latina neighbourhoods are lively and safe to walk at night. Scam operations near tourist sights (CD sellers, 'free' bracelets) are worth knowing about.

How do I get around Madrid?

Madrid's Metro has 12 lines and is fast and cheap. A single ticket is around €1.50, and a 10-trip card reduces the per-journey cost. Line 8 connects Barajas Airport to the city centre in around 20 minutes. The Sol and Gran Vía areas are very walkable, and most central sights are close together.

Which areas are best to stay in Madrid?

Malasaña and Chueca in central Madrid suit travellers who want a neighbourhood feel and good food and bar scene. La Latina is best for tapas bars and flamenco venues. The Sol and Gran Vía area is most convenient for first-time visitors. All three are well connected by Metro.
