Airport


The airport in Madrid is called Barajas. There are four different terminals. Check which terminal you are flying from as there are two different subway stations. One for terminal 1,2 and 3 and one for terminal 4 (in between there is a station called Barajas. That's a bit confusing as the airport is also called Barajas).

Check Metro Madrid for a subway map.
