Great explanation very helpful
Many thanks
I love that you show the path to the various destinations. It's nice to have a sense of familiarity with the airport even on first visit.
Great to hear that, Sally!
Amazing video! This is probably one of the best & most insightful videos on how to get out of the Madrid Airport on CZcams 🤩 ¡Gracias!
¡De nada! Thanks for your words, we tried to be as helpful as possible.
first time traveling to Spain , have watched several videos but yours is the best one I may say / very complete and easy to understand ( just had to repeat it like 5 times ) because too much stuff to understand . I love that you take time in making visual representations makes it even more easy to understand.
Thank you, Jayne, delighted to be of help.
Muchas Gracias for an awesome video. Can't wait for my trip.
Getting closer!
Great explanations, thank you very much!
Great to hear that!
Thank you, Tony, so much for thoughtfull and clear explanations!

Best content ever. THANKS A LOT! VERY VERY HELPFULL!!!
Great to hear that, Loely!
Thank you so much. Having never been to Europe, getting around has been one of the things that has been stressing me out the most about my upcoming trip… despite being a frequent flyer. This is super clear and helpful and I feel a bit more confident now.
Great to hear that, Susanne.
Incredibly helpful. Thank you so much ❤

What a fantastic video, thank you Tony, really helpful for our first trip to Madrid this week.
Delighted to hear that, Mike. In case you're interested, here's the list of all our Madrid videos: czcams.com/play/PLWH9E2sQGItr9vAqqoZTXoslMhXfc9r-M.html&si=ssMPvxKBTYAcHBBx Have a great trip!
Thank you very much for all your explanations it does help so much during the trip to Spain . Merci
Great to hear that, Jacinthe! All the best!
🎉Thank you so much very much indeed ! This is really useful , detailed and beneficial info
Great to hear that, Ped.
This was a wonderful explanation. Madrid Airport is the best I've seen in Europe, a true wonder of architecture and organization. I wish this video existed in September 2021. I went there a few months after Covid international travel restrictions were lifted. T4 was closed, all flights came into T2, which I had no clue about. With T4 closed, I just assumed the only train was the Pink line...wow was it a long trip to Atocha and then Toledo. But in 2022, all was open, and all was good. I caught one of the Alsa buses to Burgos, it's so convenient! The airport authorities really take into consideration the traveler's needs, something not seen in other European capitals (cough, Paris).
Thank you, David. Many people are scared of Madrid airport but we agree with your assessment, although we are probably biased as we know it like the palm of our hand. Compared to other large international airports, Barajas is a joy to navigate.
These videos are very useful! I'll be using the tips in a few weeks! Thank you!
Have a great trip. And make sure you check the 2024 video on how to leave the airport with all the updates and changes czcams.com/video/eq1mDR4XH90/video.html
Hi just been to Madrid for 5 days.....your vid on metro tickets was bang on for us...Thank you.

This is an excellent video to watch if you are traveling from Madrid Barajas Airport to Central Madrid. Extremely thorough of ALL the choices you have.
Thank you!
Hola Tony ! 😊
You always produce very comprehensive videos, providing useful tips for travelers visiting Madrid … making the visit comfortable and enjoyable. 👍 👍 👍
Thanks again for another very informative video. 👌 👌 👌
Btw… I got the same body bag you use. Keeps your valuables safe and secure . 👍
Thanks a lot, Jasper. We made a big effort to try to be as helpful and comprehensive as possible. All the best!
P.S.: that body bag is quite handy, isn't it? I only use it during the warmer months of the year, when wearing a coat with internal pockets is out of the question.
Great video
Thanks, Kiet.
Thank you very much, this is so informative! I don’t understand why you don’t have more likes, this is awesome!
Many thanks for that. We feel our 2024 edition of how to leave the airport is even better, check it out here czcams.com/video/eq1mDR4XH90/video.html

Be very welcome to the channel!
Thanks!
That's very kind of you!
Thank you very much Tony for the thorough informations. I have just discovered your chanel and love it. I strongly recommend it for those who plan to visit Spain ( like us in a few months). 5 stars !
Many thanks for your kind words and be very welcome to the channel!
Hola Tony, if we buy a one day tourist card for municipality of Madrid ( a little more than 8 €), can we use it to travel from the Madrid airport to the city centre without paying an airport extra charge? Thank you again for your video
@@thienhoanguyen1675 yes, you can. See all the info about the tourist card here: czcams.com/video/HJHUDy7pb_A/video.html
Wonderful
👍
Such a comprehensive video and easy to understand. I couldn’t remember how I got from the airport to the Anton Martin subway stop (was in Spain in 2018) and your video was perfect. Thank you so much!
Great to hear that, Diane, thank you!
Hi Diane, how did you get to Anton Martin station? I am traveling there in 2 days
I had to change my travel plans. I was supposed to leave to Barcelona today, but instead I'm going to Madrid in two weeks. Thanks so much for this video. You help sooooo many people.😊
Glad to hear that, Rebecca!
Muito obrigado acabei de ver
👍
Thanks 😊
👍🏻
Thank you for taking the stress out of figuring out the best way to get to the city center for a variety of situations. Excellent organization and presentation
Great to hear that, Andrea.
Great videos, all of them! Thank you! I have seen quite a few on your CZcams channel. One thing I would like: a video covering rental-car tips and how-to's - for example when you land in Madrid or Barcelona - where are all the car rental agencies located and how to exit the airport in rental car and how to return the rental car back at the Madrid/Barcelona airports, in terms of driving exits, car entries, road tolls etc. Let us assume you have landed in Madrid or Barcelona airport but you want to rent a car at airport and immediately bypass these big cities and drive to another part of Spain, such as to Valencia, Girona, Toledo, Salamanca, Malaga etc.
Thanks for your words, Yuri. We would like to do a video as the one you suggest, but it is incredibly complex. For instance, at Madrid airport, there are multiple locations for car rental companies. Each one with their own rules for the return of the cars. Also, if you arrive in Madrid, you might want to go in five or six different directions. We would have to record a five-hour video to cover all the ground! Until we come to a solution of presenting that information in a meaningful way, we have a series of Q&A videos where we can accommodate specific questions related to your trip. All the best!
❤❤❤
👍👍👍
Wow! You just saved my life! I arrive at T2 and thought I had to go to T4 for the train. But it's easier just catching the Linea Expres to Atocha then taking a Bolt to the Sol area. Unless there's a more direct way to get to my hotel - Intelier Palacio de San Martín. Thanks for making it less intimidating.
A ridesharing service direct to the hotel might not be that much more expensive. Cabify and Bolt tend to be cheaper than Uber.
Hello, another very informative video . Great for all modes of transportation. I did not hear you say though where private transfers would be waiting for you at ? Such as Welcome Pickups? Thank you 😊
Hi Penny, we never mention private transfers as there is absolutely no need for them in Spain, they are almost exclusively used by businesses. You would have to check the specific location with the company you are hiring.
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal great video! Clear and very precise. Looking forward to my trip in Oct! Just a question, would you have a rough estimate of how long it would take from landing, immigration, luggage retrieval to Atocha Station? I need to get on a train to Sevilla on the same day I arrive in Madrid. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mikey, impossible to try even an estimate. Your plane might be late. You could go through immigration in 10 minutes or take one hour. On this video we share our advice on flight>train connections: czcams.com/video/QYvUn-sJxZ4/video.html
Thank you Tony. Your videos are very helpful. Do you have a video that explains how to transfer from the Madrid airport train to a high-speed train at Madrid Atocha station? I will be arriving at MAD, then taking a high-speed train to Sevilla.
Thanks, Laura. We don't have a specific video but, basically, you can take the airport train directly to Atocha or, if you are traveling with luggage, take a taxi (30€ fixed fare) or a ridesharing service. All the best.
You should a video going from T4 to T4s for people who are handlcap or with mobility issues.
We've got this video: czcams.com/video/O-wOd_MS7Go/video.html
Love your video. Very detailed and easy to watch. Thanks. Do you know if is it possible to have a digital wallet app instead of buying the multi card?
Thanks Giulio. The local authorities are beginning tests on an app that will serve that purpose, but so far it's not an option for visitors to the city.
Thanks for your reply. Highly appreciated@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
Hello!
Thank you so much for your very informative and helpful videos!!
I hope you don’t mind, I need to ask a question please: I saw one of your videos about taking the train from Madrid airport to Madrid Charmatin train station and you said something about free tickets, could you explain further please?
Thank you in advance!!
Hello there, we actually talk about those free tickets (the combinado cercanías) on the video, have a look at it!
Thank you very much for your detailed explanations on various transport available from airport to the city. Going to Madrid end of this month, i like to know where do i change to Callao metro with airport metro or local bus? Also, does the express bus stop near Callao metro? Greatly appreciate your reply.
Hello, we have a specific video on the topic: czcams.com/video/Z8EU5rjmvGo/video.html
Always be careful of your valuables while at the/on train stations and airports. I almost got pickpocketed while waiting for train at MAD T4 train platform. I was busy looking at my phone while a guy was trying to open my backpack. Luckily the train arrived, I turned my head and saw him behind me with his jacket drapped covering my backpack, he startled and asked me to board the train as the train door opened. I was confused, shocked and boarded the train and knew that he was trying to open my backpack. I checked and saw the zipper was slightly opened. I didn't hear or feel anything while he was behind me trying to rob me. I was so relieved that he didn't manage to take anything, had the train came just 1 or 2 minutes later he would probably got my wallet which was in the backpack.
We stress that point in this video and in many others, including the mistakes you should avoid making in Spain: czcams.com/video/r3YYQ4pk6As/video.html
Thank you for advice. Me and my daughter will stay in Chueca district. Is it better to take the Linea Expres bus as we arrive at T4 airport then to Cibeles. Short walk to accommodation.
Hi Joanie, are you 100% sure your accommodation is a short walk from Cibeles? If so, Línea Exprés can be an option indeed. Check out or 2024 video on transportation from the airport here czcams.com/video/eq1mDR4XH90/video.html
Very informative channel! We have an early flight from the Madrid's airport leaving at 7:40 am ( to Lisbon) in mid August. We will be leaving from Hostal Victoria 2. What is the best way to get to the airport(except the taxi) in time?
Thank you. Walk 15 minutes to Plaza de Cibeles and catch the airport bus there.
Tq for the information. I was just wondering from atocha to T4 do I have to change train or is it a direct line to t4
You welcome! As explained on the video, it is a direct line.
Hi, Tony. Wonderful videos; big fan! Only one topic has been a little confusing: the Madrid Tourist Ticket/Tourist Travel Pass. I’d like to purchase a 4-Day Tourist Ticket for my metro trips around the city, but I’d also like to use the C1/C10 Cercanias train to get from Barajas to Chamartin station so I can then transfer to metro L1. I’ve seen conflicting information about whether the Tourist Travel Pass includes the C1/C10 Cercanias trains. If you might clarify, I would be very grateful. Kindly, A. Reyes
Hi Alec, many thanks for your words. We have a video on the Tourist Ticket: czcams.com/video/HJHUDy7pb_A/video.html The official website is quite clear, it is valid on the trains running within the city of Madrid (including the airport). If you feel unsure, there is an information booth (we show it in the video) near the metro station where you can seek clarification (rather, confirmation) on that regard. All the best.
Excellent video! I have an ask..
I need to get to Hilton Madrid Airport from T4 terminal.
My understanding is, that there is a shuttle bus leaving from door 10 (every 30 mins, free of charge).
Is it accross the taxi lane and then turning left?
Thanks in advance.
Your understanding is correct. Leave T4, cross the taxi lane and turn left till you reach the place where the hotel shuttle vans operate. All the best!
Hello Tony
I’m traveling to Madrid for the first time and I’m watching your videos over n over.
I’m not sure where to get the “título turístico?
Is in the same machine as the Multi card?
Thank you
Hello, here's our video explaining all you need to know about the Título Turístico czcams.com/video/HJHUDy7pb_A/video.html
Thank you very much Tony, it is a really useful video, may I know is it free to travel from Terminal 1/2/3 to terminal 4 by shuffle bus in the airport?
Hi Leung, it is free. Mind your belongings in the shuttle bus, pickpockets use that bus.
I arrived at Madrid airport yesterday. To my surprise, there was a blue bus with the number 203 going to Atocha station. Is this the express bus?
Thank you for the videos. I was in Lisbon before and the videos were very helpful there too.
Hello, yes, for some reason that we cannot understand, someone in power decided to remove the yellow from the Airport Expres bus and paint it exactly as the remaining buses in Madrid. It is the same express bus but now it's more difficult to identify. We will reflect the change on next year's video on how to leave the airport.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks for the explanation
I didn't know what to do when i arrived and its was a night, so forked out 30 euros for taxi. At least its was fixed fares there, which is good.
A taxi at night sounds like a good choice.
Hello, Thank you for all your information! I used your advice when we traveled to Barcelona as well! We are planning a trip to Madrid and I am trying to figure out the train/metro from the airport to Plaza de Tirso de Molina. Any recommendations?
Hi, take the airport train to Atocha and then metro line 1 to Tirso de Molina. Please check our 2024 video on how to leave the airport here czcams.com/video/eq1mDR4XH90/video.html
From what I can understand the metro is the best option to get to the center
Not necessarily, for Atocha, for instance, it's definitely not.
Thank you for the videos you’re making very informative! ! My family 3 of us will be going to Madrid for 5 days what card you recommend for the metro and bus ?
And also for Barcelona for 3 people for 4 days what card for public transportation? Thank you for all you do !
Our pleasure. We have an updated 2024 video here czcams.com/video/eq1mDR4XH90/video.html For Madrid, get a Metrobús 10 journeys, see more details here czcams.com/video/dXaVX0Pag08/video.html See the details of Barcelona transport cards here czcams.com/video/HbJzpyxLCzg/video.html
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you so much for all you do ! Keep up the good work ! We like watching you helping people out with their trips
Thank you for the info. One question please: our plain arrives at 22:45 on T4 (Iberia-european flight). We have just cabin bagage. How much time do we need to taxi zones? (We have to be in hostel by midnight ,so that is why I ask :) Thank you in advance ❤
It will depend on the location of your gate. Anything between 10 and 30 minutes. The last four flights we've taken into Madrid have arrived with extraordinary delays. Check our 2024 guide on how to leave the airport czcams.com/video/eq1mDR4XH90/video.html
Amazing video - thank you! We'll be going to Madrid in October. One question - is the 30 euros taxi fare per person or per trip? Also, is it customary to tip taxi drivers, and if so, what is usual? Thanks again!
Hi Glenn, 30€ is the fare per trip, regardless of the number of passengers. It is not customary to tip taxi drivers, see how tipping works in Spain here: czcams.com/video/BsC4YV6ezzY/video.html
hi Tony, great videos, I really appreciate if you can give me a hand. We will be at Plaza del Carmen, close to Sol and Gran Via, we will need to go to Barajas Airport T4 to resume our trip, which is the best transportation to T4? Thank you very much
Hello. If you are traveling light, you can follow the instructions we have here: czcams.com/video/Z8EU5rjmvGo/video.html Otherwise, take a taxi or a Bolt/Cabify/Uber.
2023 update:
I did the arrive T1 walk to T2 for multi card in order to get on the bus 200 etc.
1) DO NOT GET THE MULTI 10 trajectos card at the T2 metro station : it ALWAYS includes the 3 euro airport fee !!.
Instead take the bus 200 immediately and pay the 1.50 euro to av. America’s and get the multi pass thére at the station!!
2) the price is now 6.10 euro !!!!!! (October).
3) there is NO 5 stations limit to the use per strip. You simply get in the subway(SSS) all of them, until your destination…
hi Tony, could you advise me on how to load the airport surcharge on the 10 journey option on the way BACK to the airport please since it has to be done on the day of travel only? thanks!
p.s. i read on metro website that from february to june 2023 there is a 50% on the 10 trip option.
Hi Sara, as far as we know, the 10 trip option will have a 30% discount from 1 January to 31 June. To buy the airport surcharge, you will have to find an option on the machine to do so, there's usually an attendant at the stations who will be able to help you. Failing that, take the metro to the airport without the surcharge. Once you arrive at the airport, there are machines BEFORE the exit turnstiles where you can load the supplement. There are always attendants at the metro station at the airport.
on my journey to Spain in September I took the C-1 train to and from the Madrid airport and Atocha. English language didn't work on the machines, from there it was a disaster, even with my limited Spanish and your instructions. Luckily there were people who took pity on me and helped me. Same thing happened on the Metro in both Madrid and Barcelona, although at this point I don't recall if there even was an English option. Btw, your comment that more people in the hotel and restaurant business need to speak English proved to be correct. In one restaurant in Madrid they only spoke Galician! Nevertheless, I Ioved Spain and had a wonderful time
Thanks Michael, on our videos we try to go the extra mile to make people feel more secure and informed about the decisions they need to take. Metro machines in Madrid and Barcelona have English options. And yes, in spite of being such a massive tourism country, sometimes the language skills you will encounter are next to inexistent.
I did the cercania as well! What a mess! I didn’t even know that there was a metro stop at Barajas!
@@sammoon67 all the major cities in Europe have downloadable Metro maps. The trick is finding the station at the airports. Depending on where you are going, the Metro can be an incredibly complicated way to get from the airport to your hotel. The Cercanias is the best way to get from the Madrid airport to Atocha train station
@@ltlarrow1 Madrid and Barcelona also have downloadable metro maps. As for the train, it's not necessarily the best choice. For anyone arriving at T1, T2 and T3, as explained in the video, the Airport Express is a better choice.
Thank you so much for your wonderful video.
I have a question about travelling in a group, if I am a group of 6. My hotel is close to Sol station on C4.
I have 2 options, either take C1 Train and then Take C4, OR take Metro 8 Line, then C4.
Based on this, which option do you think is best for us? Since I have to take Metro (C4) in the end, I think it is better just to get Metro Card and use for everyone in my group right? That way you don't worry about getting Renfe card? Thanks for your advice!
For a group of 6, a taxi van or a large Bolt/Cabify/Uber would be an infinitely superior choice for a slightly more expensive price.
Hi Tony. I have been watching a lot of your videos lately which are fantastic! You have been a great help for us.
Our flight will arrive in Terminal 2 in Barajas at 19:30, in April. There are two of us with maybe 2 big and 2 small luggages. We are looking to go straight to our Hotel Chic&Basic Dot (C. del Maestro Victoria), what would you personally recommend the transportation method that suits us?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Hadi
Hello Hadinata, great to hear we are being helpful. I would recommend you take either a taxi (fixed fare of 30€ for the cab) or the ride sharing service of your choice. All the best!
Thank you Tony. I hope you continue to do these videos to help people travel!
@@hadinatasalim352 we intend to continue recording videos for a long time!
Tony, thanks for your detailed video instructions! I plan to take train from airport, and tranfer to C4 to Sol. Do I need to buy a separate ticket for C4 at Nuevos Ministerios station?
Hi, no, you don't, when you purchase your train ticket, you select your destination, any connections in the way are already included. Be aware there is ongoing work and trains and currently not running along the line you will need (from Nuevos Ministerios to Sol).
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks for your reply! If the work does not finish in November, I plan to transfer to C4 to Sol via Atocha Station, is this an easy alternative besides taking a rideshare ?
@@Jin-vg2xz assuming C4 is running ok (for a time it also went through a period of maintenance work), it is an alternative, but do check out this video: czcams.com/video/c6TD5KOjKQg/video.html
Hi Tony, can you share a few ideas where and which hotel to stay in Madrid?
Kiet, see here: czcams.com/video/-S2DXZAE3bI/video.html
Excelente explicação em Abril vou a Madrid somos 3 pessoas ...a ideia do Bus mais barato saí muito económico... será que me pode informar a direcção do T1 para o Bus
Agredecia
Não entendemos o lugar onde é que você está querendo ir. Veja o vídeo explicando a saída do aeroporto em português aqui czcams.com/video/OxpGE1v3zPU/video.html
Thanks for information, just wanna ask a question. Has 10 journey ticket valid time? Is it for 1 day or more?
It is valid for as long as there isn't a fare increase - which, when it happens, does so at the beginning of the year.
can i know the train tics to Atocha station is a standard price? does it have kids tics?
It's the standard price we've put in the description of the video. Under 6 travel for free, the rest pay as an adult.
Thanks for the videos, they’re a great help. Can you tell me how to pay for the airport surcharge when returning from the city to the airport? Does it simply come off the card credit, or do I need to use a machine to pay the surcharge? Thanks.
You need to load it at a ticket machine, can be done in the centre of Madrid or on arrival at the airport. Check out our 2024 airport guide czcams.com/video/eq1mDR4XH90/video.html
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks!
Hola! What the best transportation from T4 to city center @GRAN VIA planning to visit this November. Hope u will answer! Gracias!
Hola. As discussed on the video, the best would be a taxi or Bolt/Cabify/Uber. All the best.
Tony, first of all thank you for all your video content . It’s the best and most informative . My wife and I are going to Madrid, Barcelona , Lisbon and Portugal next month so I have some questions for you . 1) what’s the cost efficient and realistic way from MAD to Atocha station with 2 big luggage ? 2) what about from BCN to Barcelona Sants station? 3) is Puerta de Atocha the same as Estacion de Atocha? Thanks a lot !
Hi again, Bill. To reach Atocha you can take the airport train, the airport bus or, traveling with luggage, a taxi or a Bolt/Cabify/Uber. Puerta de Atocha is part of the Estación de Atocha.
Thank you
Hi Tony.. our accommodation in Madrid is at Hostal Cruz Sol in Plaza Sta Cruz city center., if we will take the metro from the airport can you please advise the route to take ? I appreciate your help and the videos..
Hi Anna, your accommodation is near Puerta del Sol, here we explain how to reach it: czcams.com/video/Z8EU5rjmvGo/video.html (bear in mind metro line 1 mentioned in the video will only operate after October, when ongoing construction work is completed). See also czcams.com/video/c6TD5KOjKQg/video.html All the best!
Your brilliant video showed me the info for T1 to T4. I have ticket for ALSA bus to Burgos, which leaves from outside T4 I believe. So when I get off the T1->T4 bus, do I even have to enter T4? Can you explain where I would catch the ALSA bus?
I had not gone to the end. You have explained it perfectly. Thank you so much for this very informative video.
👍
Hola, Tony
Thanks for your videos and this one in particular.
I am travelling with a friend to T1 Madrid-Barajas in October and we will be staying in Alcala de Henares.
I could use the train from T4 changing in Atocha, but I have used the 824 bus before which gets closer to the centre of Alcala and avoids Do you know if you can still by tickets on the bus please? Or do I have to prepay on a Madrid card?
Also do you have an estimate of the taxi fare to Alcala from the airport should we decide to take extra luggage pleae?
Gracias
Hi Peter, we believe you can buy the tickets from the bus driver, you can certainly do that on Madrid blue buses, so you should be able to do so as well on the 824. A taxi to Alcalá should cost around 55€, depending on the time of the day, the day of the week and the state of traffic leaving Madrid. All the best.
Hi Tony,
Thank you for your speedy reply.
We will try the bus if the timings are right - it only runs every 40 minutes or so. Otherwise we will go to T4, get our Tarejta Dorada cards from the Renfe office and use the Cercanias.
Gracias
Peter
Going to the airport from Atocha ( 4 adults, no previous multicard), it seems the cheapest way is using Renfe...especially contactless credit card. Is that right? Other than local bus.
That's correct.
Hi! Thank you for an amazing video. Can you please tell me if I can take the train to the Chamantin station and change there to Valencia? Or do I have to travel to Atocha station and take the train from there?
Thanks, Cristina. It all depends on the departure point of your train, trains from Valencia can leave from Chamartín (the majority) or Atocha (a handful). But you can easily reach both stations from the airport by train.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal we arrive at terminal 2 in Madrid tomorrow. Should we take the connecting buss to terminal 4 and take the train from there? And after change at Chamantin? What is your recommendation?
@@cristinaclaudiacodrea2730 sorry we couldn't reply earlier, we don't run a 24 hour operation, only reply to questions once per day. Next time, please allow us more time to help you. Like we said, it all depends on the departure station for your train to Valencia, what is written on the ticket?
So helpful!!! I would like to ask a question about the train or metro tickets. Is there an official app to buy the tickets online instead of the machines? Thank you!!
No official app yet, at least not for visitors to the city (residents with long-term passes have an app).
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you 🙏
The best informative video how to get from Madrid airport, ¡Gracias!!!! You've mentioned at video you could recommend us the most convenient ways to get from airport. I'm arriving on Tuesday evening in Madrid, at T2 and we have to reach at Aravaca. After collecting lots of info I realize that best way is either use free shuttle bus to get to T4 and take a train line C10, or use a sharing TAXI like Bolt, Uber etc from T2. If this is not hard for you, can you advise? Many, many thanks in advance!
Hello Irma, you don't mention exactly where in Aravaca you are heading, it is quite a large region. Without knowing the specific location, we would say Bolt/Cabify/Uber will probably be your best choice. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal I’m sorry. The place is called Calle Polonia, 2, Pozuelo de Alarcón, Spain
@@irmalaghadze4426 line C10 departing from the airport to Aravaca will leave you at a 10 minute walk from that address. We imagine you are not going to Madrid on tourism, as Pozuelo de Alarcón is really far from the centre.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks for your answer! Yes, I’m going to visit Madrid for tourism, I know place is very far away from centre, but we are staying with friend, she’s has been living in Madrid for years. Thanks again😍
@@irmalaghadze4426 if you are staying with a friend it makes all sense. Have a great trip!
Tony, I have been enjoying your videos. We are flying into Madrid en route to Barcelona to catch a cruise ship a few days later. We are flying into Madrid and taking Ouigo to Barcelona. I have been wanting to take the high speed train and this is my chance. We would like to see a bit of Madrid on our way to Atocha. What bus would you recommend for us to see a bit of the city before catching our train.
Hi David, it won't be much but your best choice would be the Airport Exprés, the yellow bus. In case you hadn't seen it, we have a video on how to reach the cruise terminal in Barcelona: czcams.com/video/eRbNEb4xpg0/video.html All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you Tony. We think we are going to want to come back to Spain for a longer trip.
@@TheFletcher53 do that indeed!
Hi, @2:47 why still need to go from T1-T2-T3 to T4 when from T4 the Metro will still stop at T1-T2-T3? Please advise. Thanks!
We are talking about the free shuttle bus. You can take the metro if you'd like, but it's not free.
Does the red "tarjeta transporte publico" card for metro and bus also work on Cercania trains?
Hope this video answers your question czcams.com/video/dXaVX0Pag08/video.html
Great vid as always. But im confusing about the multi card. I remember in the 2022 vid that you told the multi card is for individual. So is it for several people travelling together or single? And can i buy a multi card 10 journey in the very first time (not airport type), then add airport surcharge in the next few days when i go to the airport? Gracias
Hi Anh, would you kindly point out where did we state the Multi Card is individual? That is simply not correct and we very much doubt we said that. The MultiCard is not a type of ticket, is the container of the tickets. You can buy the card and load it with whatever you want. One Multi Card can pay for the tickets of several people traveling together, please watch the video, we show you how it's done. If you intend to use the airport metro, you will need the airport surcharge. As clearly stated in the video, make sure you load the airport surcharge only in the day of travel to or from the airport. All the best.
Oh sorry, im wrong about tourist ticket that is for individual, not the 10 journey type. My bad again. So firstly, i can buy the 10 journey ticket, then load airport surcharge on the same card in the other days after, right?
@@AnhVu-ow1js you can, yes. Always load the airport surcharge on the day you intend to use it.
Many thanks for your help!
Arriving in Madrid but need to get Granada . What’s the best way to get to the destination.
Will depend on your choice of transport. You can fly, take a train or the bus. Please leave us any other questions on how to leave the airport on our 2024 updated video here czcams.com/video/eq1mDR4XH90/video.html
The video was very informative. I watched it in its entirety; however, i need help extracting exactly the information I need. My Iberia flight arrives from Chicago at 7:55 am in Terminal 4S, How do I get to the airport express bus which goes to Atocha Train Station? I know it's there somewhere in your video and I would appreciate your help extracting that information. Many thanks. I have been to Madrid twice before but never took the express bus to Atocha.
Hi, you need to go from T4S to T4 (see how to do it here: czcams.com/video/O-wOd_MS7Go/video.html ) and then follow the instructions here: czcams.com/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/video.html
