@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugalUnfortunately, the various ticket machines (I was already informed by your videos) don't make it easier, as the machines directly in front of the (T2 Metro) escalator/stairs are programmed differently than the ones to the left of the metro entrance. The display above the machines is also confusing, as the multicard symbol is crossed out, which means that you don't have a multicard yet and therefore automatically need one (top up not available)! At the machines, you first have to choose where you want to go and then you're asked how many people (because of the airport surcharge). I was a bit confused because the user interface looked different (to the videos). I also didn't want to choose a surcharge, as I went over from T1 especially because we wanted to take the 200 (+C1) bus and I only wanted to buy the multicard with 10 journeys. At the machines on the left, when you go down the stairs/escalator to the (T2 Metro), you can select the 10 rides, but you always have to choose an airport surcharge (at least once, they are pre-programmed that way). But the price didn't matter (€3 airport fee or 2x€1.5 for the bus), as it was easier to continue with the existing multicard, I paid the 3 euros for the (unneeded) airport fee. That was the only problem, but it's not your fault (it's a problem of the operating company that absolutely wants to sell the surcharge, even if you use a bus)! In the end, thanks to your tips, we saved a lot of money, thank you very much!

@@chrisw3711 I seem to remember we mention that the bus is good for those that already have a Multi Card with credits, for the very same reason you discovered, you cannot buy it without the airport surcharge.

Hi Tony, Excelente info. He seguido tus consejos en viajes anteriores y nos han ayudado mucho. Esta vez tengo una duda. Llego de US en Air Europa (creo que a T1). Pregunta: mi destino final es Sevilla. Mi plan es tomar el AVE. ¿Como hago? Tomo el tren en T4 hasta Atocha y alii compro el ticket a Sevilla. Cuál es la lines que va de T4 a Atocha? ¿Vale la pena comprar el ticket hoy o directo en la estación el día de salida? el viaje es abril 3. Abrazo y muchas gracias

Hola, dependiendo de con quién viajes a Sevilla, puede que no tengas que pagar el billete, mira este vídeo kzbin.info/www/bejne/eorPnX-tadyGiZY Echa un vistazo al vídeo para ver el recorrido de las líneas de tren que salen del aeropuerto. Un saludo.

Great video, it is really helpful but what is the cheapest way to go to station Callao or Sol? Some suggest metro + train, some only metro, some bus + metro

Callao is along Gran Vía. You can see the options compared at the end of the video, both for Gran Via and Sol.

Excellent video. We are staying at Hotel Emporador. Can you please advise the best way to get there from T3? We will have only carry on luggage and are happy to walk where needed. Thank you.
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal4 ай бұрын
Hi Stephen, it's not common for a flight to arrive at T3. But, to answer your question, you could take the airport train to Atocha and then free bus 001 (get off at Santo Domingo). You cannot board local buses with big luggage but can do so with carry-on luggage. See the video on the free bus kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKDUZ2iibN91la8

Thankyou for such extensive information which was so helpful getting FROM the airport…terminal 4s… to the centre of Madrid. However, perhaps you could point out that if you are flying back from terminal 4s, your taxi will only be able to drop you at terminal 4, from where you will need to get the shuttle train to terminal 4………but what was so confusing is that you actually go through security in terminal 4….. BEFORE you can get the shuttle to terminal 4s. There was no visible information at terminal 4 that this was what you have to do, and it was very confusing . Thankyou
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal10 ай бұрын
Thanks, Anne, we have a video on how to go from T4S to T4 where we explain all the services and access to both terminals is at T4. Once you get your boarding card, there are signs showing the way to your boarding area. All the best.

Can you please guide me which transport I should take from the Madrid airport to Sagasta 22, City Center, Madrid? Metro line or Airport express bus? As I will be landing at Madrid around 12:30 am. Considering the late hours of public transport as well. Would appreciate the sequence you suggest and cost effective. I will be here for one day only so please also suggest me which transport card to opt for? Looking forward to your response.
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal2 ай бұрын
If you are landing at around 12:30, chances are you'll leave the airport much later. None of the transports operating at that time of the night will take near your accommodation other than a taxi or VTC. Your choice of ticket will depend on what you plan on doing in Madrid and how you will return to the airport.

If we want to take bus 101 or 200 from T1 , where can we buy Tarjeta Multi and 10 tickets?
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugalАй бұрын
At the metro station, but you will need assistance from a metro employee, as you will need a Tarjeta Multi with no Airport surcharge loaded in it - the machines will force you to buy the Airport surcharge.

Good video! Also watched the free busses video which is very helpful. Questions about the train/metro combination. When you buy your metro card at the airport, which you will only use for a transfer after using the train, do you also pay the metro fee? even when you already pay the fee in your train ticket?
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal11 ай бұрын
If you are not going to use the metro to leave the airport, don't buy the metro card at the airport or you will be forced to pay an airport surcharge you won't use. The train ticket does not include an airport surcharge. Buy the metro ticket in the city of Madrid.
