I had initially planned to get the 5 day pass so very pleased to see that the pass is valid per 24 hours as apposed to days. Saved me some cash 😀. Madrid has to have the most complex public transport system I have came across so far.

Thank you. A word of warning, we put it on the first fixed comment but not everyone gets to see it: the Tourist Ticket is now valid per calendar day and not per 24-hour period. Getafe is not in Madrid, so you should probably get the more expensive Tourist Ticket. You need to work out whether it's a good choice for you. Also, don't know whether you have the option of choosing a different location for your accommodation, to us, Getafe is definitely a no-no, too far from the centre of Madrid, you will lose valuable time on a daily basis.

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Hi thank you for the response, that's a shame they have changed it to calendar day 😫. I am basing myself in Getafe due to the nature of my trip (going to football games nearer that area, Leganes Fuenlabrada etc) also as a solo traveller the hotels in Madrid centre are just far too expensive. So makes more sense to get the more expensive tourist card and save on hotels for me.

Thank you so much for your videos. Because of them, we were able to get through T4S to T4 with no problems; collect our luggage from the carousel; successfully buy 2x tourist travel passes as we followed your instructions to the letter; find our way to the Metro. Unfortunately here, just about to get onto a train, a local tapped me on my shoulder, just in time to prevent a pickpocket from trying to steal my wallet, even from a buttoned up pocket. Two teenaged girls and a man in his 30s or 40s. A challenge for you would be to produce a guide to gluten free eating in Madrid -?restaurants, cafés and even supermarkets like Mercador. Written guides seem to suggest Madrid has better and more numerous gluten free dining places than Central London. Solo De Croquetas was a great place to start. Many thanks for your informative videos. Keep up the most excellent work.

If you take a Cercanías train, you will be covered. But if you take a middle distance train you might not be covered.

Also, be aware the pass is now valid per calendar day and not per 24 hour period.

Can we share the same multi-card, as in, first I tap, walk through the turnstile, and then pass the card for the next person to do the same thing? I heard the controller doesn't allow this. 3) Can I use this metro card outside of Madrid? Say, if I'm in Malaga or Seville, can I board the public buses using it?

I believe this would cost me €26.70 in total (4x of airport surcharge + Multi Card + 10-journey ticket). I am considering an alternative - In both Day 1 & 5, take the Renfe train (which would cost me €11.4 = €3.1 + 2.6 + 3.1 + 2.6) and then in Day 3, buy a Multi Card with two single-ticket (which would probably cost me €5.5).

Well I believed what this video said about these passes expiring at exactly the same time you bought it on the day of expiry. So I bought a 48 hour pass at 16.30 on 16 May 2023 expecting it to expire at 16.30 on 18 May 2023. When I went to use it on a bus at 09.30 on 18 May, it would not work- you've guessed it, it had expired at the end of the calendar day of 17 May. After paying for the bus, I tried it at a metro station and it wouldn't work. A lady at the Metro Shop at Sol station confirmed they expire by calendar day. So the motto of this is, don't buy one of these passes late in the day. I was particularly annoyed at what happened as I had had to buy an expensive Zone T pass as my hotel.was in Zone B1.

We are not going to devote our limited resources to a four-month long scheme. - it is an incredibly complex scheme. - it is a scheme designated for locals, not for tourists. That doesn't mean tourists can make use of it but there are many restrictions in force that will prevent many from doing so. - it is a scheme designated for commuters, so unless you commute often on the same stretch of line (minimum of 16 trips during the period), you're unlikely to make much out of it. In case you're interested, here's the info on the scheme in Spanish: www.renfe.com/es/es/grupo-renfe/sociedades/renfe-viajeros/abonos-renfe All the best.

Hello Tony, in 10 days we are visiting Madrid, 2 adults. We arrive on Thursday around 1pm, and leave on Monday around 2pm. I plan to buy tourist pass for each for 4 days, zone A. We plan to drive from the airport and back by metro and we are staying near Puente de Valecas, so not in the center. Is this ok or what do you suggest? Thank a lot.

Hello there, given that you will be staying far from the center and will need to use the transport on a daily basis, the investment on the Tourist pass might be quite interesting. Bear in mind the pass is valid per natural day, so the pass you will buy on the first day will only be valid until the end of that day. But even so, considering you get the Multi Card for free and ride the airport metro for free too, it's worth it.

Hello.. Firstly let me thank you for your informative & detailed videos.. they have been a great help to me in planning our family’s upcoming trip to Spain. I wanted to ask you about this discount which is being offered on the 10 trip ticket upto 30th June 2023… is it valid on all forms of transport? And is it a good option? I will be in Madrid for 4 days. Thank you

Hi Rupali, the discount is valid for the Metrobus 10 viajes ticket, valid for metro and buses. It is a good option. All the best!

It is OK If i buy only one 10 tickets multicard and use for 2 persons go together, just pay 2 times each?

There is some confusion here. The Multicard is the support where you load your tickets, whether the Tourist Ticket or a Metrobus 10 viajes. If you top up your Multicard with a Metrobus 10 viajes, two people can use it. Two credits will be discounted every time you two use it.

Hi I have a question. From my reading and undertsanding at the Metro website the Multi card alone is multi personal ie can be used by multi person but the Tourist Ticket is a personal ticket that each person need to have one each. So therefore if i purchased a Multi Card at Euro 2.50 and top up or loaded a 10 journey ticket then one card can be use by multi person right?

You are absolutely right. The Multi Card can be shared by different users. The only exception is the Tourist Ticket, which is individual.

Hi Tony, don't usually spend any time looking at videos on KZbin but found this one and the one about the areas to stay in Madrid useful. We are staying in Madrid for one night on Friday 9th Sept. We do like to see some of the old areas of Madrid during the day and like tapas bar/s for the evening. Can you recommend a couple of streets or hotel/s near or in this type of area of Madrid. We have up to 180 euros for the hotel. Kind regards Jeff and Sue Plymouth UK

Hi Jeff and Sue, anywhere between the Arenal Street and the Gran Vía would be the perfect location for you. It's busy, it's loud, it's lively, it's close to all the sights. All the best!

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal we should have added the following - we are travelling to Santander on the ferry and at first will be staying in our caravan near Santander, visiting the Rioja area and then leaving the caravan on a site 45 minutes near Madrid. We are unsure whether to drive in to Madrid and pay for parking for two days or leave our car in a carpark or area near to a underground station and access Madrid/hotel this way? We will be travelling from the north side to Madrid. Any help would be much appreciated. With the info you would possibly supply it would also allow us to decide on the hotel.

@@jeffcann4752 park and ride is not as common in Madrid as in other European capitals. We are not familiar with any parking facilities close to a metro station in Madrid (it doesn't mean there are none, we just simply don't know where they are). Sorry we can't be of help this time.

Hi, Irfan, if you plan on going to Toledo by bus and leave the airport using the metro, the Tourist ticket might be a good choice. Otherwise, stick to a Metrobus 10 viajes. You will need a Multi Card either way, the Multi Card is the support where your tickets are loaded.
