Transcripts
What you are seeing on the screen is Madrid Airport, the busiest in Spain. And we are
about to find out what are the different types of transportation you can use to reach Madrid
city center from the airport. We've traveled through Madrid airport so many times that the
challenge we faced was to make it easy for anyone to understand what the best options
are. It's been a huge effort. We've visited the airport several times and we've spent
many hours trying to device the most helpful tool. But we finally got it:
here's our hopefully very helpful guide to transportation from Madrid airport.
Hola, ¿qué tal? Hello, I am Tony Gálvez from Road Trip Spain and Portugal and Travel Guides Spain
and Portugal, where we help you find the perfect trip with practical information, insider tips and
our very own travel guides. Yes, Madrid airport is quite big, by European standards at least, and can
be intimidating to the uninitiated. We hope that when you finish watching this video you will feel
much more at ease than when you started. There is a lot of information you need to know to get out
of the airport and as we take off, let's take a look at the summary of the video and how we have
organized this information. Firstly, you need to know what the airport and its terminals look like.
Secondly, you need to know about the different types of transport that connect the airport to the
city. Thirdly, you will want a step-by-step guide on how to catch these transports at each of the
airport terminals. Finally, we will end the video with a new tool that will allow you to choose the
best transport alternative in your case. Let's start with the location. Madrid's only airport is
located to the northeast of the city. Its official name is Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid Barajas,
and it is also known simply as Aeropuerto de Barajas. Its IATA code is MAD. The airport
has four runways around which five terminals are arranged. Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are part of
the same building and correspond to the original older airport. Terminal 4 and Terminal 4 satellite
opened in the 21st century and are located in another part of the airport, separated from each
other. We're going to have to go a little closer to the terminals to review two important facts
when planning your departure from the airport. If your flight arrives at T4S you should know that
public transport does not reach the the terminal, as its name indicates, T4 satellite is an isolated
terminal. To leave the airport you will have to take a free train that will take you to T4,
where you will collect your luggage and access the different public transport options. We have
a video on the channel where we explain in detail how to get from T4S to T4. The second thing you
should know is that if you arrive at terminals T1, T2 and T3 and you want to take the airport train,
you will have to go go to T4. The distance between terminals T1, T2 and T3 and terminal T4 is too far
to walk, so you will have to use a free airport shuttle bus, which we will talk about later in the
video. Having presented the terminals, here's the good news: Madrid Airport is very well
connected with the city's public transport and the options for getting from the airport are abundant:
the metro, the airport train, the airport express, conventional buses, long-distance buses,
taxis and ridesharing services. We will first talk about each of these means of transport and
then about each terminal and how to get to each of these options. Let's start with the
airport metro. There are two metro stations at the airport. The pink line 8, the airport line,
runs through both stations. The first station from the airport is at T4 and serves those arriving at
T4 and T4S. Departing from T4, there is a station in the town of Barajas and then the line continues
with a second station inside the airport, which is at T2, and serves those arriving at T1,
T2 or T3. Now let's see where you can travel with the airport metro. We already know the
first three metro stations from the airport. After the airport, the next station is Feria de Madrid,
followed by Mar de Cristal, where you can transfer to line four; continue to Pinar del Río, Colombia,
with a transfer to line nine, and finally Nuevos Ministerios, the last station on the line,
where you can transfer to lines six and 10. Nuevos Ministerios is located north of the tourist center
of Madrid, so it is very likely that your accommodation won't be nearby. Therefore,
if you choose to take the metro out of the airport, you will almost certainly need to change
to another line that will take you closer to your hotel. Which line you need to change to will
depend very much on where your hotel is located. If you have any doubts, ask us and we will try to
explain what would be the best combination of lines in your case. The Madrid metro runs from
Monday to Sunday from 6:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Let's see how to buy tickets to travel on the Madrid
metro. To travel on public transport in Madrid you need to have a Tarjeta Multi, a multi card,
which is the support on which tickets are loaded. In Madrid you pay for the journeys you make on
the metro and the bus with this Multi card. If you are not familiar with the multi card,
we have a video on our channel explaining what it is and how it works. Let's go to the machines
to see how to buy the multi card and load the tickets. The machines are clearly identified
with the metro logo on the front. On the initial screen select the English version of the page,
then touch on purchase transport card. Next, you need to choose the type of ticket to be loaded
onto the multi card. There are several options. Our recommendation is that you choose 10 Journeys.
Now select Metrobus 10 Journeys. This ticket allows you to make 10 Journeys on the metro or
the bus. It can be shared. Each time one person makes a journey, one credit is discounted from
the total of 10. It is much cheaper than buying a single ticket. As you will be using the airport
metro line, you will have to pay a supplement a special surcharge that you pay both when you
leave the airport and when you return to the airport. Basically, every time you get on or
off the metro at the airport you will have to pay this surcharge. Please not that the supplement,
the surcharge, is only valid on the day of purchase, so don't buy the surcharge now for
the day of your return to the airport. You have to buy a surcharge for each person traveling with
you. As there are two of us I choose two and touch on accept. On the next screen, you will see a
summary of the purchase. You are buying the multi card, which at the time of filming costs 2.50€;
the 10 trip metrobus, which costs 6.10€; and two airport surcharges, which cost €3 each,
for a total of six. The metrobus 10 Journeys costs 6.10€ because until the end of 2024 the
government finances part of the fare. At the top of the screen you can see the total price of the
purchase. Tap on accept. If you want a purchase invoice, click on yes, otherwise click on no. And
now it's time to pay. You can pay with bank notes, coins or bank card. When you have completed your
purchase the multi card will appear in the tray at the bottom of the machine. Take the card and if
there is any change collect it too. If you already have a multi card from a previous trip to Madrid,
on the initial screen you will choose insert your transport card and continue the same sequence as
explained above. The only difference is that you will not pay for the multi card. Don't
get rid of your multi card, you can top it up with tickets to move around Madrid. The cost of leaving
the airport in 2024, per person, paying with a metrobus for 10 Journeys, is 61 cents per ticket,
plus the €3 airport supplement, a total of 3.61. Remember that you will still have to spend €2.50
to buy a multi card, which can be shared. If you don't go out on the street, if you stay inside the
stations, you will not have to pay every time you change metro lines, you will only spend one ticket
to go from the airport to your destination. Let's see how to validate your ticket. To enter the
metro station you have to bring your multi card to the green reader next to the gates and wait
for your ticket to be validated. If several people are traveling together with the same multi card,
it is very easy, as you can see in the image. The person holding the multi card stands next to the
reader, validates one person's ticket and repeats the operation as many times as necessary. Let's
talk about the airport train. There's only one train station at the airport, which is located
in terminal T4. Madrid airport is served by two lines of Madrid's metropolitan trains,
known as "cercanías", and operated by Renfe. The lines are C1 and C10. The first station is
located in terminal 4 of the airport. The train leaves the airport and stops at Valdebebas. The
next station is Fuente de la Mora. It continues to Chamartin station, which is a starting point
for highs-peed train routes to Castilla y León, Galicia, Asturias, Valencia, Alicante and Murcia.
It continues to Nuevos Ministerios, Recoletos and Atocha, the main high-speed train station
in Madrid. Méndez Álvaro station is next to one of Madrid's main bus stations, Estación Sur de
Autobuses. If you want to go to Estación Sur de Autobuses you must take the train to Méndez
Álvaro. Then Delicias, Pirámides and finally line C1 completes his route at Principe Pío, while line
C10 continues outside Madrid. The Madrid airport train runs from Monday to Sunday from 6:00 a.m.
to midnight, but it is essential that you check the timetables on the date of your journey if you
are taking the train at the beginning or the end of the day. We'll show you how to buy tickets to
travel on the airport train from the machines in a second, but if you want to pay by contactless
card, just look for a barrier with the sign shown on the screen. Now approach your card
to the reader at the top and enter. You will have to repeat the same operation at the destination
station, when you leave the station. The system will calculate the distance traveled and debit
your account with the amount of the journey. A single card can be used to pay for the journeys of
several people. You will need to tap as many times as people are traveling with you. The advantage of
this payment method is that you do not need to buy a ticket and your journey will not cost you
more if you pay by contactless card. If you want to benefit from the "combinado cercanías", which
is a Renfe and Iryo advantage for those taking a high speed train in the next 4 hours, you will
have to look for another type of barrier with a QR code reader. All you have to do is to bring the QR
code on your ticket and enter the station without paying for your journey. Don't forget to watch the
video where we give you all the information you need to know about the combinado cercanías. Let's
go to the machines to see how to buy tickets. Renfe has two different types of machines,
the ones you should use are the gray machines with a red section and the words Renfe Cercanías on
the upper part of the machine. The ticket for the airport train is an individual ticket, you have to
buy as many tickets as there are people traveling with you. Select the English version, but not all
options are translated, which is a shame. Select Adulto Ida, we're going to buy a single ticket.
On the next screen you will be asked if you want to use your Renfe&Tú card. If you do not live in
Madrid or have not been to Madrid before, you will not have this card, so select no. Another message
will appear telling you not to throw away the Renfe&Tú card, as it is reusable. Click on yes. On
the next screen you have to select the station you want to travel to. Here we're going to illustrate
how to get to Atocha, but the procedure is the same for traveling to other stations. At the time
of recording the video, and despite being one of the most frequent destinations, the machine does
not show Atocha on the initial screen, so we must press the yellow Other stations. Type the
first three letters of the name of Atocha station until it appears and touch on it. You will see a
summary of the purchase. If you want to buy more than one ticket click on the corresponding button
to select a larger number. And now it is time to choose the method of payment, which can be cash
or credit card. We choose to pay by credit card. Once payment is complete, the ticket will appear
at the bottom of the machine. In your hands, a Renfe&Tú card loaded with a single ticket from the
airport to Atocha station. You will have to have a card for each person traveling with you. Once the
journey is over do not throw the card away, you can use it on their return trip to the airport,
where you will not have to pay for the card again. In 2024 a single ticket to the center of Madrid
costs 2.60€, remembering that if you don't have a Renfe&Tú card you will have to pay 50 cents for
it, except in the case of payment by contactless card, in which case you will only pay 2.60. Let's
see how to use the airport train. First locate the station entrance, which is just to the right
of the ticket machines. Look for the word Renfe in large letters. A panel will indicate the departure
times of the next trains. To validate your journey bring your Renfe&Tú card close to the reader,
both when you enter the station and when you leave at your destination. To get to the platform where
you will catch your train, you will go down an escalator or take a lift. Lines C1 and C10
follow the same route to the center of Madrid, you can take any train that is ready to leave
the airport. As the airport is the first station on the line you cannot go wrong. Hop on the train,
sit back and relax, in less than 30 minutes you should get from the airport to Atocha, if that's
your destination. Madrid airport has an express bus, line 203, known as Línea Expres Aeropuerto,
Airport Express, which takes you directly to the center of Madrid. In fact, it is the only bus line
that leaves the airport and arrives in the center. It has stops at T4, T2 and T1 arrivals, it departs
from Madrid has a stop at O'Donnell, another at Cibeles and finally arrives at Atocha. The airport
express line runs 24 hours a day, from Monday to Sunday. However, it is important to know that
between 11:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. the Atocha stop is not operational, so the bus only goes as far
as Cibeles. The journey between the airport and Atocha should not take more than 40 minutes. The
buses are blue and carry a large Airport Express sign in the side window. The ticket costs €5,
there are no discounts, and that ticket is only valid on the airport express line. Madrid public
transport tickets are not valid on this bus. The ticket is purchased from the driver who will give
you a maximum change of €20. You can also pay by contactless bank card by bringing it up to
the reader to the left of the driver. The bus is equipped with luggage racks, so you can take
large suitcases on board. As it is a very popular means of transport it can get crowded at stops,
especially if you take it at T1, where it arrives full of passengers who have taken the bus a T4
and a T2. In addition to the express line, there are two other local bus lines from the airport,
line 101 and line 200. Line 101, which uses small buses, departs from the town of Barajas, passes
through terminals 2 and 1 of the airport and goes as far as Canillejas, allowing you to connect with
the Madrid metro outside the airport, avoiding having to pay the surcharge for leaving the
airport. Line 101 does not go as far as T4. If you take 101 make sure you take it in the direction
you want to go, if you want to go to Canillejas, do not take the bus in the direction of Barajas.
City bus line 200 departs from T4,stops at T2 and T1, stops at Canillejas, and continues to the bus
station at the Avenida de América interchange, with connection to the metro and many bus lines.
You can buy a ticket from the driver to travel on lines 101 and 200, but be aware that he will
only give you change if you pay with no more than 5 euros. You can also pay for this journey
with a contactless card, although you will pay the full fare. A single ticket, the full fare,
costs 1.50. If you have a metrobus 10 journeys loaded on a multi card, that journey will cost
you 0.61. To leave the airport by conventional bus you don't have to pay the airport surcharge, which
only applies to the metro. Lines 101 and 200 are an interesting option for those who are already
familiar with Madrid, do not travel with a lot of luggage and want to transfer to the metro without
paying the special airport surcharge. These two lines are the only conventional buses in Madrid on
which you can take large suitcases. Buses run from 6:00 a.m. to 11:45 p.m., but check the updated
timetables as they may change depending on the day of the week. And while we are on the subject of
buses, and although the main purpose of the video is to explain how to get to the center of Madrid,
it's worth mentioning that Madrid Airport is connected to many long-distance bus lines that
take you to other cities in Spain. All these lines operate from a new bus terminal next to T4. It's a
new facility that gets rid of the chaos that used to be in the past boarding outside T4. Most of the
long-distance buses that stop at the airport only stop here, at the terminal 4 bus station. In the
part of the video where we explain how to get out of the terminals we will detail how to reach the
bus station. If you arrive at T1 T2 or T3 and want to catch a long distance bus you will first have
to travel to T4 using the green bus that connects the terminals. Let's move on to taxis and VTCs,
which is how ridesharing services such as Uber are known in Spain. Taxis are one of the transport
options for getting out of Madrid airport. Madrid taxis are easy to recognize, painted white with a
red strip on the front doors. What defines how much you will pay for the taxis is whether the
address you are heading to is inside or outside Calle 30, better known as M-30. M-30 is one of
Madrid's ring roads, within which you will find the city center and all the neighborhoods we
have recommended for accommodation in the city. The fare from the airport to within the M-30 is
a flat rate of 33 euros per car, at any time of the day or night. The taxi driver cannot
add any other amount above 33. Regardless of the number of passengers, day of the week,
time of the day or luggage, you pay 33. The cost for journeys from the airport to outside the M-30,
when the distance is less than 9.5 km, is a fixed rate of €20. When the distance is more than 9.5 km
you will pay €20 plus the meter reading. The above fares apply both in the airport city and city
airport directions. If you are not sure whether your accommodation is inside or outside the M-30,
do ask us. Each of Madrid's airport terminals has a large well sign-posted taxi rank. In addition
to standard taxis, Madrid's taxi fleet includes large taxis carrying up to eight passengers. If
you need a large taxi you can request it at the taxi rank. Competing with taxis are the services
known in Spain as VTCs, ridesharing services. At the moment, the companies's operating at Madrid
airport are Bolt, Cabify and Uber. As you know, there are no fixed prices, the companies work with
dynamic fares. Now you will see on the screen the prices that the apps gave us for the airport to
a Atocha station route at two different times of the day. Even at the most expensive times,
they were lower than the taxi fare, the €33 fixed rate. It is always worth comparing the
fares charged by the different companies. The advantage of VTCs are the lower prices; the
disadvantage is that you will have to walk a bit to get to the boarding points, as we will explain
later in the video. We have already seen the main transport options for leaving the airport,
now let's look at the specific instructions for each terminal. If you arrive at T1 you
can leave with the airport express line bus, with conventional buses 101 or 200, in a taxi,
in a ride sharing service, by metro walking to the station at T2, or you can take the bus
to T4 to leave by train or long distance bus. As soon as you pick up your luggage and go out into
the public part of the airport, you will see signs pointing you in the direction of public transport,
it's all very easy. First let's go out of the T1 building. On one side you will find the taxi rank,
on the other, the express line bus, first of all, and the local bus stops 101 and
200 a little further on. If you want to take a hotel transfer, the stop is right in front
of the express line bus stop. If you want to take a Bolt, Cabify or Uber you'll walk straight ahead
to the uncovered car park and here you will need to check the instructions on your app to find out
the car park module where the company operates. Let's see how to get out of T1 by metro. While
we show you the way on the screen, remember that there is no metro station in T1, you
have to walk to T2 where the nearest station is. Here's some good news and some not so good news,
which do you want first? The good news is that the walk to the T2 metro station is very easy
and well signposted, you cannot get lost. The bad news is that it's long very long,
so if you're traveling with a lot of luggage think twice because it's a very tiring walk. [Music]
When you get to the metro station you'll see that there are plenty of vending machines where
you can buy your tickets, as well as a ticket office staffed by a metro employee. Finally,
to catch the bus to T4 you will need to go up to the departures level and go to the external part
of the terminal, where the bus stop is. You may want to go to T4 to leave the airport by train
or by long distance bus [Music] If you arrive at T2, you can take the airport express line bus,
conventional buses 101 or 200, a taxi, a ride sharing service, the metro, or you can take
the bus to T4 to leave by train or long-distance bus. When you collect your luggage and exit to the
public part of the airport, walk to the outside of the terminal, you will see the taxi rank in front
of you and if you cross to the other side of the street, you'll come to the airport express line
buses 101 on 200 and hotel shuttles. On one side are the taxis, on the other are all of the above.
If you are taking a Bolt, Cabify or Uber, you will need to follow the directions on the app. To catch
the metro you have to walk inside the terminal following the signs. It is again quite a walk,
but fortunately shorter than the one we took from T1. The last big corridor leading to the metro
station is exactly the same as the one we took coming from T1. If you want to take the bus to T4,
you will have to go up to the departures level to catch the bus that is already going to T4. You
will follow the same route as if you were taking the metro, except that in the final corridor you
will pay attention to the sign we show you on the screen, which indicates the way to the bus stop.
If you take the bus connecting the terminals on the arrivals level it will take longer, as you
will pass through T1 first. You will have to go up to the departures floor to catch the bus that
is already going to T4. Finally, let's depart from T4. If you arrive at T4, you can leave by train,
you can leave by metro, you can leave by taxi, you can take the airport express line bus,
you can take the bus to the other terminals, you can take the conventional 200 bus line,
you can take a Bolt, Cabify or Uber, or you can take a long distance bus. Once you have your
luggage and have reached the public part of the airport, look for the signs pointing the way to
all the transport alternatives. To exit by metro or train, the way is very similar, go down a ramp.
At the end of the ramp, to the right, there is a booth where you can buy metro tickets from
an employee. Keep walking until you reach the entrance to the metro and train stations. The
metro entrance is the first one on the left, and the train entrance is just after it. If you walk
straight ahead and exit outside the terminal you will find first, on the right, the taxi rank; keep
walking, if you turn left you will come to the shuttle bus stop for the hotels near the airport,
and the car rental companies outside the terminal; turning right you will first find the express line
stop, then the bus that takes you to the other terminals, in case you need to change terminals,
and finally the departure point for the 200 bus. To get to the long-distance bus terminal or to
take a Bolt, Cabify or Uber, you'll need to get to the car park building, which is outside the
main terminal. It is Well signed-posted. [Music] At the end of the walkway connecting the terminal
to the car park building, your path splits in two. Go left to catch a ridesharing service,
go right to reach the small bus station. We will go to the bus station first and come back later
to show you the way to the cars. To get to the bus station you will have to walk quite a way,
but the way is easy and very well signposted. When you get to the terminal, look on the screens
for the location of the departure point of your bus, and rest until it leaves. Let's go back to
the ride sharing services. Each company works in a specific module of the car park. We are
going to go here to the Uber point, but the rest work in the same way. Our app tells us to go to
floor four, and as soon as we exit the lift we see the waiting area to the left. For the
rest of the companies look for the parking module that corresponds to the company you want to use.
And it is time to introduce you to our tool to help you choose the best way to leave the
airport. Let's get going. Are you arriving at Terminal 4S? If no, continue to step two. If yes,
take a look at the video 17 on the channel where we explain how to get from T4S to T4 and continue
to step two. Are you traveling with a lot of luggage, in a family or group or with children or
elderly people? If the answer is no, wait a second till we get to step three. If the answer is yes,
and for you, safety and comfort are a priority, you can take a taxi, which will cost you €33,
to the center of Madrid, or you can take a Bolt, Cabify or Uber, which will probably be cheaper
but work on dynamic pricing. If saving money is a priority for you, watch video 128 on the channel
and continue with step three. Are you heading to the center of Madrid? If so, continue to
step four. If the answer is no, ask us, there are many transport options that can take you to your
destination. If within the center of Madrid, you are heading specifically to the Atocha region,
you can take a taxi from terminals 1, 2, 3 or 4, which will cost cost you €33, or you can take
a ride sharing service, which will probably be cheaper but operate with dynamic pricing.
Depending on the time of the day, they can be more expensive or cheaper. You can take the airport
express bus from terminals 1, 2 and 4, which will drop you off at a Atocha station for 5 euros. Or
you can take the airport train from T4. For a cost of 2.60€ plus 0.50 for Renfe&Tú card,
it will also drop you off at a Atocha station. If you're heading to the region of the Puerta
del Sol, you can take a taxi from terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4, which will cost you €33. Or you can
take a ride sharing service, which operate with dynamic pricing. You can also take the train from
the airport at T4 to at Atocha, where you will need to change to the C4 line of Madrid trains,
which will take you to Sol station. The total cost of the journey will be 2.60€ plus 0.50€
for the Renfe&Tú card. If you're heading to the region of the Gran Vía, you can take a taxi from
terminals 1, 2, 3 or 4, which will cost you €33, or you can take a ride sharing service,
which operate with dynamic pricing. You can take the metro from the airport, from terminals 2 or 4,
which will take you to Gran Vía for 3.61 plus 2.50 for the multi card, and with several transfers.
In video 69 we explain the combinations of metro lines needed to get to each of the Gran Vía metro
stations. Or you can take the train from the airport at T4, which for 2.60 plus 0.50 cents
for the Renfe&Tú card will take you to Atocha, where if you are only traveling with hand luggage,
you can take the free bus 001, which runs along Gran Vía. In video 56 of the channel we explain
how line 001 works. Finally, if you are going to any other place in the center of Madrid that we
have not mentioned so far, please ask us, so that we can advise you as accurately as possible. Let's
move on to the last piece of advice, take it very seriously. In all the above mentioned transport,
in all of them, be extremely careful with your belongings. Madrid is a very
touristic city and pick pockets love to take advantage of tourists carelessness. Take care,
even on the bus connecting the terminals. We have made a video with some thoughts on this
subject which we have already mentioned several times and which we would like you to watch. On
the way from the airport to your accommodation you are particularly vulnerable. You may not know the
city, you will probably be traveling with luggage, and will need to be on your guard. The key tip:
carry your passport, money and mobile phone in a pocket that it is impossible to access. And if
you don't think you'll have enough hands to take care of each suitcase and an extra hand to hold
on to in transport, choose a less risky form of transport, such as taxis, even if they are more
expensive. Madrid is a wonderful city, don't let theft spoil your trip. So we're getting near the
end of the video. During the video we have shown the updated transport prices for 2024, but in the
description of the video and in the first comment we post we will update these prices whenever
there are any changes. To help you optimize your time in Madrid and make the most of your visit,
we have published our very own Madrid walking tours. They are electronic guides of our own
that will take you through the most important parts of Madrid, including food stops along
the way. No need to rack your brains on how to visit Madrid, we've done that work for you. Our
series of Madrid walking tours are part of our collection of walking tours dedicated to the
most important cities in Spain and published through our Travel Guide Spain and Portugal
brand. As always, if you have any questions, take advantage of the commentary box to ask,
especially if you want to know how to get to your hotel. If you're planning to visit Madrid,
you are probably wondering which places you should not miss. We' put them all together in a video
