Madrid
Airport – This spacious and well signposted
airport is a breeze for travellers to navigate, and
there are plenty of help points stationed throughout
the building. If you are flying to or from Madrid
Airport, you can be assured of a quick and pain-free
departure and arrival process.
Madrid's Barajas International Airport
is located only 15 km (9 miles) from the centre of
Madrid, which means gaining access to the city is
relatively simply. There are plenty of buses and taxis
available to take you to your chosen destination.
If you want to travel to or from the airport you
could use the Madrid Metro system,
which joins the airport to the city. The Metro system
connects to the main train stations and trains run
daily between 06:00 to 01:15. To reach the city centre,
the journey involves changing trains at Mar de Cristal
(Line 8).
However, it is also entirely possible for you to
travel to Madrid by Bus. These buses
leave from the airport’s terminal buildings
to the underground bus terminal at Plaza de Colon
(Route 89) in central Madrid and other nearby towns.
Buses from Madrid Airport run daily between 04:45
to 02:00, every 10 minutes between 06:00 to 21:30
and then every 15 minutes afterwards.
For the less adventurous, the option of hiring a
taxi to travel to the city does exist. Most taxis
are available outside each of the airport’s
arrivals areas at the terminals. It will take approximately
half an hour to travel to central Madrid from the
airport, depending on the traffic conditions. Make
sure that you use the official Madrid MAD
Airport Taxi cabs at all times to ensure
your safety, and to stop you from being overcharged.
