About Madrid: Madrid oozes a vitality and character that rarely fails to move. In no other European capital will you find the city centre so thronged so late into the night. To experience Madrid is to explore its restaurants and eateries, prop up its countless bars, and be swept up in the nocturnal madness of its music scene and clubs

Getting There: Barajas International Airport - 13Km north East of the City. 

The best way to get into the city is via Metro (subway), approx. Euro1.10 to anywhere on the network (allow 45mins) or by bus services into the centre of town (allow 45mins). Taxis cost approx. Euro25 including a surcharge to come from the airport (allow 30mins) 

Getting Around: Madrid is a large sprawling city and although it is easy to move between the main tourist sites on foot, using the Metro (subway) will save your feet for some late night dancing!

10 single trips on the Metro cost approx. Euro5.35 and can be bought at any Metro station in the city.
