Arriving by air
Madrid-Barajas is the city's main airport, with public transport and taxis linking it to central Madrid and the wider transport network.
Why go
Air arrivals need one clear onward plan because the airport sits outside the historic centre. Choose between public transport and a taxi based on your arrival time, terminal and luggage. Confirm the current route, fare and any transfer requirement before landing, especially if arriving late.
Useful to know
Check your terminal before choosing onward transport, as airport connections may involve an internal transfer.
For a late arrival or heavy luggage, compare the current taxi and public-transport options before departure.
Keep your accommodation address ready for a taxi journey into the centre.
