How to get to Madrid
Madrid sits in the center of Spain, very close to Castilla y León and Castilla La Mancha, perfect destinations for day trips from Madrid.
If you're coming from abroad, you can get to Madrid by plane with many airlines (many of them low cost), since Barajas is one of the most important airports on the European continent. It is also perfect to start trips through Europe of 15 days or more.
If you are doing car routes through Spain, you can go to Madrid comfortably and quickly by roads and free highways. Also by train through Renfe with high-speed connections AVE, Avant and Alvia and by bus with companies such as Alsa, Avanza or FlixBus.
What is the best way to go from Barcelona to Madrid?
Barcelona and Madrid are two of the most popular cities on the Iberian Peninsula. Traveling between them is easy because of the variety of transportation options available. From high-speed trains, to flights to budget buses, there are many ways to get from Barcelona to Madrid. The best way to go from Barcelona to Madrid depends on the time and money you have allocated in your budget to travel between the two capitals.
How to get around Madrid?
To get around Madrid we recommend public transport. The metro and bus are perfect to travel from one end of the capital to the other. To access these transports you will need to buy (obligatorily) the Multi Public Transport card. These rechargeable cards can be purchased at the automatic machines of the Madrid Metro stations or at tobacconists and authorized commercial establishments. You can also move through the commuter trains, ideal to get to know the surroundings of the capital. The car, on the other hand, is more recommended for long trips, since it is not easy to park in the capital and there is a lot of traffic at peak hours. Even so, under the BB HOTELS brand you can book fantastic hotels with parking service.
Explore the main tourist attractions that await you in Madrid
Plaza de España is an excellent starting point to explore some of the most popular streets in the city center. In it you can admire important monuments and emblematic buildings full of history such as the iconic Edificio España, the Torre de Madrid or the magical Temple of Debod that you can visit by hiring a Spanish guide or on your own. Walking along Calle Bailén you will reach the imposing Royal Palace, a baroque jewel that, although it did not reach the size of the original project, is the largest in Western Europe.
Covering a city as large as Madrid is only within reach of birds, but there are some places that offer privileged views of the city such as the rooftop of our B&B Madrid Centro Puerta del Sol hotel, where we suggest you go for a drink on the Doñaluz terrace to enjoy amazing views. Do you sign up?
