Time Out Madrid Is An 8-hour Layover In Madrid Enough Time To Go Into The City?

Is an 8-hour layover in Madrid enough time to go into the city? - time out madrid

Hello,

I will be an 8-hour stay in Madrid this month. Could he go to town. If so,
What can go the places of interest?
What is the best way to go to town and back to the airport?
How long should I plan to spend and back?
If I get a hotel room, would I want at the airport or downtown? What is the airport shuttle to provide services?

Thank you for your help.

Given the previous answer, I would like some more information:
Near the Metro (subway), while Terminal 4 and Terminal 2 (for the building called the terminal 1-3). Go to Nuevos Ministerios (at the end of this line is about 20 minutes. After entering the terminal an information office of the Metro de Madrid and the tourist office for suggestions is.
If you want fourth day, the Hotel NH Barajas airport in close proximity (nh-hotels.com or similar) and provides a service shoutlle.
From the Puerta de Sol, in the heart of Madrid, also the station van 3 Coach: Madrid of the Hapsburgs, Madrid of the Bourbons and modern Madrid. The lines represent the main attractions of this beautiful city.
I assume that your luggage is checked through his. Then ask when you arrive you will need the airport for your flight back. To connect the internal European (Schengen Countries) 90 minutes is sufficient.
Bon voyage!

If you travel abroad, you have to go through customs .... Even if you received on time, this may take some time.

Then you have to go back to the airport three hours before departure.

At best, it could reach the Plaza Mayor, a cup of coffee, and immediately. So probably sit there for five hours while it is a problem with the aircraft on board. But international travel is for you!


If you really want to take the risk, you can go to the Plaza Mayor (Metro stop) in the sun, not be too ambitious, however.

Get a hotel room? For an 8-stop time? Are you crazy? WHY?

What are your plans for driving with your luggage? Make sure you check all along the way, even if you again for your connecting flight.

I do not want ... just stay in the boredom of the airport.

At least he is a new very nice, clean, ... rebuilt was not too long.

Too many things to do in Madrid. But I liked the Palais Royal, but it was looking for me about 3 hours through the whole site. Fastest way to town and to and from the airport, the subway. To the subway map in advance, saving you the time to study and consider the preservation of the metro route 10 if it wants to compete in the city. I think it's the same price for 6 runs

Hey
They are not capable of all the things in Madrid, to see how, no way, dude! It depends on what you want, historical documents, museums, festivals ...
You should def. Take the subway, based on what part of Madrid is really, but 1 hours will depend most of all when you stay in the city of Madrid
