About what you read here. Access Madrid is an independent guide written from published, checkable sources — museum and transport operators’ own information, official city and tourism data, and the public record.

We are not a travel agency and we give no advice on visas, insurance, health or safety requirements; for those, use your own government’s official guidance.
