Estación de Chamberí
Travel back in time to the ghost Metro station of Chamberí. Built as part of Madrid’s first subway line in 1919 and abandoned in 1966, the station has been magnificently restored. You can explore its ticket halls and platforms and marvel at the antique tiled signage and advertisements—all frozen in time. It’s a treat for railway buffs, but also an education in social history and commercial art. It opens only at weekends and slots go fast, so advance booking is essential.
