The last suburban train departs around 11:30 at night and the service is somewhat faster than the metro with a frequency of about 15 minutes, in 40 minutes you can be in the center. The line departing from terminal four of Barajas airport connects with central stations such as Nuevos Ministerios, Atocha (train station) or Méndez Álvaro (Madrid bus station). The suburban train network in Madrid is integrated with the metro. What you have to keep in mind is that in Madrid you need a card to ride the metro (it will also work for intercity buses). Metro line 4 has a stop at Terminal 4 and another stop at Terminal 1, 2 and 3. The metro and bus reach both terminals and the suburban train network has a stop at terminal 4 (for other types of transport there are services in all terminals). Madrid airport has four terminals: on one side, there are terminals 1, 2 and 3 and on the other side terminal 4. Advantages of using a private transferĬab stand at Terminal 2| ©Ricardo Ricote Rodríguez The driver will meet you and your group at the terminal, will know if your flight is delayed and will wait for you up to 45 minutes after the scheduled time. The transfer works in a simple way: when booking online you provide the details of your hotel or accommodation in Madrid and the details of your flight (with that the driver will already know your arrival terminal). Of course, the final price will depend on the number of people using the service: you can request a shared transfer or a vehicle for you and the people traveling with you. However, in the case of Madrid the price of hiring a private transfer from the airport to the center, to pick you up at the airport and take you to your hotel, is quite reasonable: from $ 126, booking in advance.


The word "private" often brings with it the adjective "expensive" and that is why we often tend to overlook it when it comes to a trip where we want to reserve the money to get to know the city we are arriving in.
