When stepping off the plane in a new city, it can be a daunting experience to attempt navigation. Luckily, Madrid is a city with a robust public transportation system, including bus, train and taxi options.
Upon arriving, your best bet is to hop on the airport shuttle express. This bus brings you from the airport into the heart of the city in less than 45 minutes.
The next step for visitors should be to get a tourist travel pass. Passes allow visitors unlimited access to public transportation.
If you are looking to connect to towns outside Madrid, look into traveling by train. The train currently services 10 routes in and around Madrid. The affordability and speed make them perfect for traveling to outlying towns and villages, according to Madrid’s tourism authority.
If you like the idea of a train, but are traveling within the city, hop on the subway at any of the city’s 300 metro stations. The stations are serviced across 15 different lines, making the metro a convenient option for anyone trying to get around the city.
If standard automobiles are more your speed, consider utilizing the city’s bus system. The bus system is comprised of more than 2,000 vehicles running more than 200 bus lines. The bus transportation options allow visitors to take in the sights of Madrid en route to their destination.
More information and specific fares can be found at Tourism Madrid’s website.
