An overseas trip to Madrid is an ideal vacation for the hopeless wanderlust. With a trusty travel guide in hand, anything is possible, as the world is your oyster, friend. Perusing the shelves at Barnes and Noble, you'll see there are many different guide books for Madrid travel. They all claim to cover the same major areas of interest, such as attractions, museums, food, culture but you'll have to look more carefully to find just the right book that suits your particular interests. Some books are geared more towards older people who are looking for a relaxing getaway, while others are for the adventurous backpacking type. Here are a few of the popular guide books you may stumble across.

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. The vision of founder Eugene Fodor was to "bring to life the people and customs" of a destination, rather than spouting dry facts and figures. At www.fodors.com/world/europe/spain/madrid, you will find topics like "Top Reasons To Go," "Getting Oriented," "Where to Go," "Planning Your Time" and "Spain's Top 15 Values For Travelers on a Budget." You can also read about their top recommended restaurants, the most popular hotels and learn some additional travel tips. At a glance, you'll have a good idea of why people are drawn to Madrid.

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!

Not surprisingly, newspapers often have excellent travel guide sections if you can find what you're looking for. The UK Telegraph and NY Times are especially noted for their in-depth travel information. At the UK Telegraph's page (www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/spain/madrid/4433755/Spain-An-Insiders-Guide-to-Madrid-and-Central-Spain.html), Annie Bennett has a wonderful (and recent) insider's guide to Madrid, with links to travel information resources. For instance, she recommends specialists Madrid & Beyond for arranging your tapas tours, winery tours, culinary classes, museum visits and other activities. She tells you where to taste wine, where to see wildlife and how to get around. You'll find that these guides are a great way to stay sane while planning your bountiful adventure.
