From the Madrid World / Travel essentials
Arriving by train
Madrid is Spain's rail hub, with high-speed and long-distance services arriving at stations that serve different parts of the national network.
Why go
Train travel can bring you directly into Madrid's urban transport network, but the arrival station determines the onward journey. Confirm the station shown on the ticket before choosing accommodation transfers, then check the operator's current timetable close to departure because services and station assignments can change.
Useful to know
Confirm whether your train uses Atocha or Chamartín before planning your accommodation transfer.
Allow time for the Metro, bus or taxi connection from the station rather than treating arrival as central Madrid.
Check the operator's timetable close to travel, as routes and station assignments can change.
