Madrid

Visited: 10 - 13 October 2024

Preparation time

• Travel documents

EU-citizens: Valid national ID-card 
Other countries: Valid passport valid 3 months after stay 

(* please check with your own local government or embassy for most recent updates)

• Airport transfer

Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD) is located at around 30 minutes (15 KM) from the city centre. You can easily transfer to the center by bus and/or metro or book a car upfront. 

• Booking accommodation

Whenever possible, book as early as possible. Prices can double or triple in a few weeks time, depending on demand and availability. I've booked numerous hotels and hostels which ended up doubling in price between my booking date and my actual dates of stay, if I would have made a booking later.

Always book the option with free-cancellation if you book ahead. You can always cancel / modify later if needed or if a better deal presents itself.

I personally stayed here:
