Metro

Madrid's Metro is the fast backbone for crossing the city, with underground stations that also make hot daytime journeys more comfortable.

Metro

Why go

The Metro makes it practical to combine central sights with distant districts in one day. It works best for longer hops, while buses can handle streets beyond a station's reach. Use the official journey planner before travel, particularly for airport connections and late-night routes.

Useful to know

  • Use the Metro for longer cross-city journeys, then switch to a bus or walk for the final stretch.
  • Build in extra time when changing lines at busy central stations.
  • Confirm airport supplements and the current late-night alternatives before travelling.
