Madrid Airport to City Center

- Taxi: Fixed price is 30 Euro to any point in Madrid city center (does not include ESAC), 30 min, can be longer depending on traffic.

- Train: (2.6 Euro) From Madrid T4 take RENFE-CERCANIAS, Line C-1 till stop 'Nuevos Ministerios'. Change to line C-3 or C-4 and stop at 'Sol'. The train change is well indicated. This option is cheap and convenient. ~45 min.

- Metro. (4.5 Euro) L8 to Nuevos Ministerios, change to L10 and go to 'Tribunal', change to L1 and stop at 'Sol'. This combination takes a bit longer than the train.  (There is metro station at T1, T2, T3 and T4). <1 hour.

Suggested hotels

I compiled a short list of Hotels below, but there are many others. All of them are close between them and very central, within walking distance of several nice spots such as Plaza Mayor or the Royal Palace. Any hotel within walking distance to Plaza Mayor (included or not in my list) can be a good option. I would recommend you to book soon; Madrid city Center is a very touristic area all the year. Remember that the daily bus will leave from Calle de Atocha 3 (see map above)
