This was a wonderful explanation. Madrid Airport is the best I've seen in Europe, a true wonder of architecture and organization. I wish this video existed in September 2021. I went there a few months after Covid international travel restrictions were lifted. T4 was closed, all flights came into T2, which I had no clue about. With T4 closed, I just assumed the only train was the Pink line...wow was it a long trip to Atocha and then Toledo. But in 2022, all was open, and all was good. I caught one of the Alsa buses to Burgos, it's so convenient! The airport authorities really take into consideration the traveler's needs, something not seen in other European capitals (cough, Paris).

Great videos, all of them! Thank you! I have seen quite a few on your KZfaq channel. One thing I would like: a video covering rental-car tips and how-to's - for example when you land in Madrid or Barcelona - where are all the car rental agencies located and how to exit the airport in rental car and how to return the rental car back at the Madrid/Barcelona airports, in terms of driving exits, car entries, road tolls etc. Let us assume you have landed in Madrid or Barcelona airport but you want to rent a car at airport and immediately bypass these big cities and drive to another part of Spain, such as to Valencia, Girona, Toledo, Salamanca, Malaga etc.

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your words, Yuri. We would like to do a video as the one you suggest, but it is incredibly complex. For instance, at Madrid airport, there are multiple locations for car rental companies. Each one with their own rules for the return of the cars. Also, if you arrive in Madrid, you might want to go in five or six different directions. We would have to record a five-hour video to cover all the ground! Until we come to a solution of presenting that information in a meaningful way, we have a series of Q&A videos where we can accommodate specific questions related to your trip. All the best!

I’d like to purchase a 4-Day Tourist Ticket for my metro trips around the city, but I’d also like to use the C1/C10 Cercanias train to get from Barajas to Chamartin station so I can then transfer to metro L1. I’ve seen conflicting information about whether the Tourist Travel Pass includes the C1/C10 Cercanias trains. If you might clarify, I would be very grateful. Kindly, A. Reyes

Same thing happened on the Metro in both Madrid and Barcelona, although at this point I don't recall if there even was an English option.

Always be careful of your valuables while at the/on train stations and airports. I almost got pickpocketed while waiting for train at MAD T4 train platform. I was busy looking at my phone while a guy was trying to open my backpack. Luckily the train arrived, I turned my head and saw him behind me with his jacket drapped covering my backpack, he startled and asked me to board the train as the train door opened. I was confused, shocked and boarded the train and knew that he was trying to open my backpack. I checked and saw the zipper was slightly opened. I didn't hear or feel anything while he was behind me trying to rob me. I was so relieved that he didn't manage to take anything, had the train came just 1 or 2 minutes later he would probably got my wallet which was in the backpack.

It will depend on the location of your gate. Anything between 10 and 30 minutes. The last four flights we've taken into Madrid have arrived with extraordinary delays. Check our 2024 guide on how to leave the airport kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9dhoKeDmb6saWQ.html

It is valid for as long as there isn't a fare increase - which, when it happens, does so at the beginning of the year.

Thank you so much for your wonderful video. I have a question about travelling in a group, if I am a group of 6. My hotel is close to Sol station on C4. I have 2 options, either take C1 Train and then Take C4, OR take Metro 8 Line, then C4. Based on this, which option do you think is best for us? Since I have to take Metro (C4) in the end, I think it is better just to get Metro Card and use for everyone in my group right? That way you don't worry about getting Renfe card? Thanks for your advice!

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Жыл бұрын

For a group of 6, a taxi van or a large Bolt/Cabify/Uber would be an infinitely superior choice for a slightly more expensive price.

hi Tony, could you advise me on how to load the airport surcharge on the 10 journey option on the way BACK to the airport please since it has to be done on the day of travel only? thanks! p.s. i read on metro website that from february to june 2023 there is a 50% on the 10 trip option.

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Жыл бұрын

Hi Sara, as far as we know, the 10 trip option will have a 30% discount from 1 January to 31 June. To buy the airport surcharge, you will have to find an option on the machine to do so, there's usually an attendant at the stations who will be able to help you. Failing that, take the metro to the airport without the surcharge. Once you arrive at the airport, there are machines BEFORE the exit turnstiles where you can load the supplement. There are always attendants at the metro station at the airport.

You have to go to a ticket machine to load the airport surcharge. If you need help, ask for a member of the metro staff. You might want to simulate that purchase one a date prior to your trip to the airport so you are familiar with the procedure. But do remember the airport surcharge is only valid on the day of travel.

Hola, Tony Thanks for your videos and this one in particular. I am travelling with a friend to T1 Madrid-Barajas in October and we will be staying in Alcala de Henares. I could use the train from T4 changing in Atocha, but I have used the 824 bus before which gets closer to the centre of Alcala and avoids Do you know if you can still by tickets on the bus please? Or do I have to prepay on a Madrid card? Also do you have an estimate of the taxi fare to Alcala from the airport should we decide to take extra luggage pleae? Gracias

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal 11 ай бұрын

Hi Peter, we believe you can buy the tickets from the bus driver, you can certainly do that on Madrid blue buses, so you should be able to do so as well on the 824. A taxi to Alcalá should cost around 55€, depending on the time of the day, the day of the week and the state of traffic leaving Madrid. All the best.

Sorry your question went unanswered. Take the airport train to Atocha and then line C4 to Sol. There are some disruptions right now preventing trains going to Chamartín to Sol, which would be ideal for you but not feasible right now. You will have to buy a specific train ticket for your destination station as shown in the video.
