I got this for a recent trip to Madrid. It's an excellent map if you are interested in central Madrid, showing plenty of detail, and the laminated format makes it easy to carry around and fold/unfold. But if you are looking for something outside of the central area (e.g. the University of Madrid, which I as visiting, and which was tantalizingly just off this map.), it would be better to get a map of the entire city.
The free maps distributed at every hotel were much better and easier to read unless (1) you wanted to see Metro routes superimposed on the map and (2) you were planning to visit the norther parts of the city, e.g., Salmanaca. I found the type way too small.
I have always purchased the Streetwise maps but in preparing a trip to Spain I saw that the Rough Maps had great reviews. So I purchased a Streetwise map for Madrid and the Rough Guide to Barcelona. While the Rough Map had more information it was very difficult to use. The map grid coordinates were for two different sides of the map - a zoom-in side - so we were constantly flipping the map over and trying to figure out which side to use. We ditched the Rough Guide to Barcelona and went with the hotel map after the first day. We never went anywhere in Madrid without the Streetwise map - a case of less information being easier to use - at least for the part of the city where we went.
On the plus side this map is small and easier to carry and thick material so it may be longer lasting. On the minus side, the graphics are smaller and what you're looking for will likely be harder to find.
Wow -- the level of detail this map shows was a life-saver. I stayed in Madrid for ~ 1 week and was walking everywhere - no car. My AirBNB stay-over was on a tiny street that would not have been shown on most other maps.This was also useful for an overview of the rail system (does not show all the stops, but enough to find main intersections and stations). This map is compact enough that I could fit it inside a small purse, and it's very light as well.
"Streetwise" city maps are great boon for the traveler. They're simple, durable and easily stowed in any pocket. The "Streetwise Map of Madrid" is no exception to this group of travel aids. I used it recently on visits to Madrid and found it to be perfect for getting around the city, including via the Metro system.
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this map. It seems that it will be very durable. Size is too large to fit in a back pocket, however I think the maps would be too hard to read if they were any smaller. It will fit easily in my purse.
Easy to read, durable and light-weight.We use them with stiky arrows and post-it notes.We found the locations of all our hotels and the places we plan to visit.Public transportation routes are clearly marked
