Read on for our top tips for <strong>how to get to Madrid airport from Atocha station<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Underground train from Atocha Station to Madrid Airport<\/h2>\n<p>For those that have asked the question, does Madrid metro go to airport, the answer is yes! Simply head into Madrid\u2019s underground and catch a <strong>Metro to Madrid airport<\/strong> from the station. <strong>The journey takes just 35 minutes<\/strong> and costs between \u20ac4.50 and \u20ac6, with the airport supplement included. <strong>From the station catch a tube train to Tribunal station on Line 1 then change to Line 10 and get off at Nuevos Ministerios<\/strong>. From there take <strong>Line 8<\/strong> which will take you all the way into the airport itself. It sounds more complicated than it is! Madrid\u2019s underground system is really easy to use.<\/p>\n<h2>Bus from Atocha Station to Madrid Airport<\/h2>\n<p>There is an excellent <strong>bus\u00a0service from just outside the RENFE station<\/strong> which will set you back just five euros per ticket, which you can buy when you board. There is plenty of space on board for your suitcase and <strong>the journey takes just 30 minutes<\/strong>. The <strong>buses run 24 hours a day<\/strong>, seven days a week and you can even pay by credit\/debit card.<\/p>\n<h2>Taxi from Atocha Station to Madrid Airport<\/h2>\n<p>A cab is the simplest way to get to the airport from Atocha station<strong> if you are travelling with a lot of heavy luggage<\/strong> that you don\u2019t want to lug about from stop to stop on a public transport line. Simply hop in and tell the driver your destination so he or she can drop you off at the right place for your flight. <strong>A journey by cab takes approximately 25 minutes<\/strong> and has a fixed price, set by the Madrid council, of 30 \u20ac.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bear in mind, though, that although it is the most luxurious of the options<\/strong>, it might not be the quickest, as Madrid is like any other capital city &#8211; chock-a-block with traffic. You can find cabs waiting at the exits of the station.<\/p>\n<h2>Suburban train from Atocha Station to Madrid Airport<\/h2>\n<p>Take a local <strong>RENFE<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Cercan\u00edas<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>service to the airport<\/strong> from this fantastically located city centre station. This service is particularly apt for those whose flight is departing from Terminal 4 at Madrid-Barajas airport. The <strong>line C-1<\/strong> on the Cercan\u00edas network <strong>takes you directly into the airport<\/strong> and from there you can take a shuttle bus to the right place to take your flight. With a journey time of<strong> just 25 minutes<\/strong>, it\u2019s an option worth considering.<\/p>\n<p>So to sum up, here are your options for getting to the airport when staying at the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotel\/catalonia-atocha\">\u00a0Catalonia Atocha Hotel<\/a> which has an enviable location near to the Paseo del Prado, its own solarium and terrace which has a heated seasonal Jacuzzi as well as amazing city views in a relaxing environment.
