Managing Madrid’s Metro
How to become an accomplished user of Madrid’s Metro System:
If you’re arriving by plane, which the majority of our students do, the first exposure you will have to Madrid’s public transport system is the Metro. The Metro is by far the easiest way to travel round Madrid. An intricate web of 12 different lines will get you pretty much wherever you want to go in and around the centre of Madrid, and one trip across Zone A costs just 1,50 – the cheapest fare in any capital city. A ten trip ticket costs 9,30 and lasts a month, and for frequent Metro users it is extremely cost-effective to buy a monthly travel pass (Abono) which costs just 30 Euros for those under 23 years old. It costs an extra Euro to get in and out of the airport Metro, but you don’t have to pay this if you have a monthly Abono. The Abono is also useful during the winter months or the rare days when it rains in Madrid, and you’d just rather get the Metro two stops rather than walk ten minutes in wet shoes and hood pulled down over your face so you bump into a load of similarly crotchety people.
