Estación Museo de Chamberí

Fun historic visit to the decommissioned Chamberí Metro station. Wonderful care has been taken to offer the opportunity to access the old station. The free visit is somewhat brief but insightful. The first part is guided by knowledgeable staff, which adds robust historic context. And it ends with some time to linger and photograph. Lifetime iconic as it can be seen from the passing trains of Metro Line 1, it was fun to visit after so many years and enjoy how well preserved it is. Reservations are best to ensure timed access with one of the small tour groups. But folks without a ticket can also wait in an open queue at the street entrance. And if the group is not full they are invited to join the slot.

The station is in really great shape and is really interesting to see how metro stations looked in the beginning. The museum is free of charge and there is a free guide, but it is only in spanish. You cannot visit the station on your own and you have to wait for the tour guide. If you don't speak Spanish is quite boring to wait for the tour guide to speak. There is a qr code at the beginning with a brief information guide in English, but I feel like it did not contain everything that tour guide explained in person.

This was one of the best places to visit in Madrid, especially that is free and with a guide that tells you the history of the Metro (you need to speak and understand Spanish tho). But it is an amazing experience to try, make sure to reserve the spot in advance as there are only a small number of groups that can enter, although you may enter without a reservation but it is risky and the waiting time can be a lot.

Excellent guide tour, full of history and incredible work for the 1900th. Free admission, last week of the month you can reserve your spot, what it is highly recommended. They reserved 25 spot and tree for walk ins. Tour run from 4:00pm every 1/2 and hour.

Nice opportunity to travel in time. It’s a pity that there wasn’t an English tour. Nevertheless they offer information in PDF format in English. Check online to reserve your tickets.

I made a reservation online beforehand (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays) but I think you can also go there and wait in line to see if there are free spots for the upcoming tour. The whole tour - only in Spanish, lasted around 40 mins or so and you can have some time afterwards for photo taking. I liked it as it’s like going back in times and you can see still metros passing by the station!

Awesome piece of (free!) metro history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave extensive explanations. Would recommend!

A very unique experience. The guide speaks in Spanish but he does ask if anyone needs information in English. It was a good experience to see something which is preserved well. Book your tickets in advance we booked ours 2 weeks prior. A must visit if you are in Madrid.
