Change at Nuevos Ministerios to other lines for stops all over the city. The metro also provides links to stations on the Spanish railway network-RENFE.

| Cost: | €1 for a single journey and €7 for 10 trips. Trips to and from the airport terminals are subject to an Airport Supplement fee. This is €2 for a single journey, or €1.70 if using a 10 trip book. Children under 4 are free. Ten-ticket passes are also valid on the buses, but not for the buses to the airport. Note: A Traveller in November 2008 reported the following: Cost: €17 ticket fee + €1 airport supplement for each person using the same ticket /10 trip ticket (ie wife & I used the same 10 trip ticket. Cost was thus €17 + €2 airport supplement. The question asked in the English version on the ticket machine is confusing. If insufficient supplement is paid the ticket will not operate the airport barriers the required number of times. A supplementary fare can be paid & added to the ticket via a (special) ticketing machine). |
| Contact: | There is a rail info desk (tel 091 305 8544) at the airport. Metro also stops at Plaza Colón and Mar de Cristal. |
