Fodor’s has been a well-respected publisher of travel guides for more than seventy years, and is spearheaded by a team of over 700 professional writers.

Frommer’s is another top-notch travel guide publisher that has earned its world fame. You’ll find their comprehensive travel information at www.frommers.com/destinations/madrid or at any bookstore. You’ll find itineraries to make planning even easier than you’d ever imagined or you can narrow down your search results to “especially for kids” attractions or “tapas restaurants.” You’ll be able to get to know each neighborhood as a distinct entity to decide where you’ll feel most at-home. Their easy star-rating makes it a breeze to sort through the mediocre experiences and get to the golden nuggets. One of Frommer’s specialties is food, so be sure to check out their extensive restaurant/cuisine section!

The Eyewitness Travel Guide series has been highly touted by many reputable sources. According to Travel & Leisure, the books are “Encyclopedic in scope, it’s meant to be used before, during, and after your stay.” The NY Times Syndicate touts the “hundreds of 3-D aerial maps of districts, streets and buildings” and “unique graphics” that give you an insider’s glimpse at museum floor plans and short cuts. The Travelers’ Need section will help you find hotels, entertainment, shops and restaurants, while the Survival Guide navigates you through airports, public transit, restrooms and keeps you out of crime-riddled areas. You can find the Madrid travel book written by Michael Leapman at Barnes and Nobles.
