 Clean, quick and easy by nhcram The metro goes all the way from the airport to the rest of the city so it is easy and fairly quick. We never had to wait long and the journey was a fraction of the price of either the bus or taxi. A One-way ticket is €1.15 and is valid for any one way journey within the whole network (A bargain) A map of the metro can be downloaded from the website. The journey from the airport to the Puerto del Sol took about 40 minutes. Leave a Comment

 Map of Madrid's Metro System by Paul2001 Madrid has a highly functional metro/subway system that will get you to most of the important tourist attractions within the city. As I was staying at a hotel right on the Puenta Sol, this was very valuable. It seems like virtually everyone of the seven subway lines in the city passes through the Puenta Sol. The subway cost .95 Euros to use which for a city of this size, is good value. For 5 Euros, you can also purchase ten tickets. Leave a Comment

 Metro Madrid by Frisbeeace Here you have the chance to save some euros. If you take a cab it will charge you in-between E25-E35. However, if you take the Metro it will cost you only E1.25 per person. The catch is that you will have to drag your bags up and downstairs a couple of times even though most trams have mechanic staircases. Not too bad but may be too much for older people. The best itinerary from the airport is to take the Metro to Nuevos Ministerios, then switch to the blue line until Tribunal station and from there on take the light blue line either to Gran Via or Sol, depending where your hotel is. The trip will take you around 45'. Leave a Comment

 Look around, there's always a metro station nearby by Jefie, 2 more photos Downtown Madrid is not very big so if you're a good walker, chances are you'll be able to walk to pretty much all the major attractions in the city. However, if you ever get tired and would rather go by metro, don't hesitate to do so! Because I lived a little bit outside of the city center, I had to take the metro every day to go to school and I have to say, this is the best metro system I've ever had a chance to use! It runs from 6:00 am to 2:00 am, and usually I wouldn't even bother checking the schedule before leaving as trains were never more than 5 or 6 minutes apart, even on the weekends. And if the city itself tends to get a bit dirty, it certainly doesn't apply to its metro which is always spotless clean! Another great thing is that it really isn't expensive - a single trip costs only 1 Euro, and you can also get a 10-trip ticket for 6.70 Euros (it's the same ticket you use 10 times). The metro also goes all the way to Barajas Airport (there's an extra 1 Euro fee to get to the airport). So to sum it all up, it's a cheap, easy, safe and effective way of getting around in Madrid!

Madrid's Metro system has been opening many new lines and stations over the last few weeks - and more are expected in a near future. It now has one of the longest networks in the world - apart from being fast, cheap, clean and safe. The map in your guide is most probably outdated. Check for the new version before your trip in the web, and get a new pocket map in any ticket office. There are also new fares. Apart from the traditional single ticket (1 EUR per trip) and "metrobus", (6.40 EUR per 10 metro or bus trips) there are new "tourist passes" that give great value: unlimited bus/metro/trains within the city (abono turistico "zona A") is 3,80-6,80-9,00-14,20-19,80 for 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 days, and there is a "zona T" option with a wider coverage area including buses and trains to Toledo and Guadalajara (double price). Both Come with maps, instructions, etc. in Spanish and English, and in both cases there is a 50% discount for kids under 11. Thay are available at any ticket office, and you'll have to show a passport or photo ID to buy it. Leave a Comment

 Metro entrance sign and map by SirRichard Metro is a good way to move around in Madrid. Normal fare is 1,10 euro, but you can buy 10 tickets (ask for a "MetroBus" in any station or at most tobacco shops) for 5,20 euros. This MetroBus you can use them both for Metro and for Bus. Monthly passes which cost 33.60 euros and can be used on the buses and on the Cercanías trains within the city. Metro runs from 6 am to 1:30 am, that meaning that the last train leaves its origin at that time. After that time you should have to take the "Buhos (owls)", night buses departing from Cibeles Square. Leave a Comment

 Tha Barajas station by SirRichard The line 8 (pink) of the Metro takes you to the Barajas airport in 20-30 minutes from the city centre. You just have to pay 1 euro for the ride, though you will have to make transfer from any line you take to the pink line, and that might be hard with many suitcases. If tou are flying with national spanish airways, U can check in all your luggage at "Nuevos Ministerios" stop, at the Castellana Avenue and make the ride with no luggage... Leave a Comment

From Barajas airport you can get to city center through the underground, you can stop at Nuevos mInisterios or Mar de Plata to join other tube lines the web page is very sueful as it containes map plans that help you to find what you are looking for, and the closest station to your destination Taxis are ridiculous expensive to airport Leave a Comment

 Sol Metro station by agarcia It's not a big secret; El Metro is the most convenient transportation system in Madrid. It is cheap, reasonably punctual, easy to use, and fairly safe. Don't expect any interesting view while using it, though. Only if Latetia Casta is seated next to you in the train... but no, this is not going to happen ;-) Leave a Comment

 Plano del Metro by andal13 The "metro" (subway) is an excellent, comfortable and cheap way to go everywhere in Madrid; you can buy your ticket at the Metro stations or at the "estancos" (tobacco stands). I think is very convenient to buy a "metrobús", a 10 trips ticket (metro and bus). El metro es una forma excelente, cómoda y económica de ir a cualquier parte en Madrid; puedes comprar tu boleto en las estaciones de Metro o en los estancos. Creo que es conveniente compar un "metrobús" que permite 10 viajes en metro y en bus. Leave a Comment
