DIRECTIONS Madrid airport to hotel :
There are two ways to go by metro from Madrid Barajas airport. One of them is from the airport’s Terminal 1, 2 and 3, and the other option is from Terminal 4.
If you want to use Madrid’s metro, the first thing you have to do is buy a metro card to move around Madrid. The card costs €3 and you can buy them from metro machines with
Once you buy your card, you then have to add credits to the card to go around the city center or other destinations in Madrid that you are planning to visit. Aside from the initial €3 for the metro card, €3 will be added for your fare from Madrid airport to Chamartin along with the extra €2 to go around Madrid. If you want to get to Madrid from the airport using the metro, it will cost you €8. But you will be able to use the metro card while visiting Madrid adding more credits. The metro starts at 6 am until 1 30 am. If you’re headed to Chamartin Train Station, you have to transfer in Nuevos Ministerios and get into Line 10 heading to North Hospital Infanta Sofia and you will have only 4 Metro Station from Nuevos Ministerios to get to Chamartin. The total fare from Madrid airport to Chamartin by metro is €8 for one-way ticket. The travel time from Madrid airport to Chamartin by metro is around 30 minutes depending on your final destination. It will be worth it as I mentioned if you will use the Madrid Metro card in the city next days. Anyway you should purchase €3 metro card and top up. Maybe you can find your Metro Card for free in information if they are promoting Metro campaigns (but don’t trust on this).
