 | Madrid Barajas airport Reviews | 1 - 10 of 44 |  |
There are mainly 3 ways to get to the city center:
- Metro: the cheapest. As you go out the gate, turn right till you reach the T2 terminal, where the stop is. From 6:00 to 1:30 at night. 1 Euro (you can buy Metrobus Ticket, 10 trips in Metro or Bus for 6,16 euros). Line 8 stops at AEROPUERTO T4 and at AEROPUERTO T1 T2 T3, depending on where your plane lands.
- Bus: As you go out the airport, cross the lane after the taxis and look for the bus stop. It takes you to Colon Square, in the center. 2,40 euros. 04:45 to 02:00 at night.
- Taxis: the most expensive. Around 25 euros to Puerta del Sol, 20 to Chamartin Railway Station, 22 to Plaza de Espana. Check the money they give you back when you pay, they tend to make 'mistakes'... Leave a Comment

Ok, so as soon as you step in the hall of the entrance of Barajas, buy a METROBUS, a ticket for 10 metro rides and the buses. Go to the Metro, which is a bit… well not far, but you need to do some walking.
Take the metro to the station NUEVOS MINISTERIOS, and over there you change it to line 10, that can take you to Alonso Martínez, which is pretty much centrally located. Although the stations GRAN VÍA, Puerta del Sol, Callao… are the ones in the very centre. Normally it is lines 1 and 5.
The Metro, I think, is pretty easy to use and... quite practical.
In case you need to travel WAY TOO EARLY in the morning, like I did, well.. there is always the option taqxi/cab. The hostel "Las Murallas" scheduled one for me, for 5:15 am, and it didn't cost too much... 20 euros. Or more precisely 16 with additional 4 because it was a night tarif. Leave a Comment

Since May 2007 there is a metro line (8, pink) to get to/from the airport to the centre of town. The ticket is 2 euros (double than normal tickets) and, changing lines you can reach any part of the city. Leave a Comment

The International Airport of Madrid (Barajas) is located about 12 km east of the centre. It has a comfortable and frequent Metro connection (No. 8) to Nuevos Ministerios since 1999. Leave a Comment

Madrid's airport, recently upgraded with new terminals. I have to admit, it's probably the most difficult airport to find your way around in my experience, certainly if you are trying to find a connecting flight. One one occassion returning late at night from Israel and trying to find a connecting flight to Malaga, I went three times around the same building, the signs sending me back to my starting point.
It does have quick and easy access to the city though, with it's Metro connection, the train getting you to the city center in less than 15 minutes.
I've listed another useful kink with transport connections below.

Barajas airport, a abusy one, we really need a bigger one ;-)
You can see how is it from the air.
Most of the flights to another continents arrive and land from Madrid or Barcelona airport, so they are some of the busiest.
Malaga is the 3rd busieer in international flights ;-) too many charters, but in madrid you will find all the conexions to all aprts of Spain

BARAJAS AIRPORT is served by a few major US carriers, and numerous European and other global airlines. You may or may not have anything to do with Spanair, but if one of its jets happens to be taxiing by when your Iberian flight is on its way to Barcelona, well then, you snap its photo.

Madrid's Barajas Airport is a modern airport featuring shopping and cafes and three terminals. Terminal 1 is for most international flights. Terminal 2 mainly for domestic flights and Terminal 3 is for domestic shuttle and Iberia/Air Nostrum regional flights.
The other great thing about the airport is that the Metro connects it with the city! It's about 15 kilometers (9 miles) outside of Madrid. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneOther Contact: Airport Code: MAD

Travellers should be aware that as of Feb 5, 2006 there is a new terminal at the Barajas Airport. Its big, its beautiful, its 4 km from the other terminals and at this point it is running more or less smoothly, although it got of to a slow start.
The new Terminal 4 or "T4" and its satelite building "T4-S" were designed by the prestigious firms Estudio Lamela and Richard Rogers Partnership, the later being famous for the Pompidou Center in Paris. The new terminal has more than 30 restaurants, lots of shops, banks, beauty salons, VIP lounges and even a spa
Now for the facts you really need.
Airlines using the new terminal (T4) are ALL Iberia flights and One World Alliance carriers.
Public transport to Madrid: Metro stop "Aeropuerto" on Line 8 of the Metro stops nearest T2 but serves T1, T2 and T3.
To get to and from T4 there is a free airport-run bus that leaves T2 every 5 minutes. If you go to T4-S there is an underground tram connecting T4 and T4-S.
As of May 2007 there should be a metro stop on the line 8 that goes to T4...
There is also a bus that goes to Avenida de America from T4, that is a regular city bus but if you dont want to pay for bus then a metro on your way into the City.. take the Metro at T2.
Taxis from Terminals 1 2 and 3 cost about 20-23 Euros to get to the city center. The cost will be a bit higher from T4 as there is a toll road and its also 4km farther away from Madrid. Leave a Comment

When we arrived in Madrid earlier this year we arrived at the new terminal 4. Opened in 2006 this airport now has two new runways and also a fabulous state of the art terminal. It is full of glass and tubular steel. Shops and restaurants and plenty of seating areas.
It is amazingly quiet and it is also very peaceful
One drawback at the moment is that the metro does not yet run this far so you have to allow time to take the courtesy bus to terminal 2 and then a long walk to the metro.
Luggage takes ages to retrieve and the place is lacking in good signs at the moment. I am sure all that will change though. Leave a Comment
