Getting TO/AROUND: The metro goes all the way from the airport to the rest of the city so it is easy and fairly quick. We never had to wait long and the journey was a fraction of the price of either the bus or taxi.
A One-way ticket is €1.15 and is valid for any one way journey within the whole network
(A bargain)
A map of the metro can be downloaded from the website.
The journey from the airport to the Puerto del Sol took about 40 minutes.

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: The ideal way to get to know Madrid is to take the tourist buses. For one price you get the opportunity to ride on one or all of the three buses. There is a good commentary and through headphones provided you can choose from a number of different languages.
The red route takes you on the historical Madrid route. The blue route takes you on the modern Madrid route and the green route is the monumental Madrid. It is an excellent way to see the city and you don’t wear out your shoe leather in the process. Note the places of interest to you and visit them later.
The red and blue routes last approximately 75 minutes each and the green route is about 40 minutes long.
A one day ticket is 13 Euros and a two day ticket is 17 Euros. (discounts for young people and senior citizens.)

Getting TO/AROUND: Opening in 1969 and connecting Madrid city centre to Casa de Campo is the Telerifico. It is a Gondola style car the rides high above Madrid. It takes 11 minutes to complete the ride (seemed more like 111 to me)
The views across Madrid and then across the vast shrubland of Casa de Campo were worth me being scared!! The trip costs 3.10 Euros for a single and 4.45 for the return journey. You can take the ride from near to the Templo de Debod just down the road from the Palace gardens.

Getting TO/AROUND: When we arrived in Madrid earlier this year we arrived at the new terminal 4. Opened in 2006 this airport now has two new runways and also a fabulous state of the art terminal. It is full of glass and tubular steel. Shops and restaurants and plenty of seating areas.
It is amazingly quiet and it is also very peaceful
One drawback at the moment is that the metro does not yet run this far so you have to allow time to take the courtesy bus to terminal 2 and then a long walk to the metro.
Luggage takes ages to retrieve and the place is lacking in good signs at the moment. I am sure all that will change though.
