Rick Steves Snapshot Madrid & Toledo

We just returned from a trip to Spain and used this book for all our site seeing. It was very easy to read and gave us some great history on a lot of sites. It helped us decide what to go see in a very organized manner, to prioritize our time.

I don't know how someone could travel to a totally new place and NOT check out a Rick Steves guide. I really liked the day trip guides to give a sense of how to organize our time in Madrid. Don't get me wrong, it's a thick book and contains TONS of great information, way more than we could digest or even think about attempting. However, we read as much as we could and found our way to all sorts of off the beaten path museums, things to see, etc. Also, when we found things on our own, we were able to go back to the book to learn more about whatever we saw. Super awesome guide.

At the center of Spain is its ancient capital, Toledo, and its current capital, Madrid. Both are both loaded with sights worthy of a visit by the enterprising traveler. Also in the region, and easily reached, are other attractions such as the Valley of the Fallen, Spain's monument to its 1930's Civil War, and El Escorial, Spain's monument to its victory over France in the 1500's. This new Rick Steves Snapshot Guide has the details. This small and easily portable book was extracted from the larger Rick Steves Spain volume. It contains maps, photographs, graphics and good advice on how to navigate the region, in the kind of detail that prevents the enterprising traveler from going seriously astray. Take the author's good advice and read the whole thing before starting your vacation planning. And plan to see as much as you can of Spain's fascinating history, culture, and art as is on display in this region. Very well recommended.

As with all of Rick's guides, this is priceless to have when visiting other countries.

Steve’s travel guides are a must where ever you go. His guide for Madrid and Toledo also included several additional cities that are great one day trips from Madrid to maximize your travel experience.
