Madrid Airport to Centro: what to expect
Madrid-Barajas is 15 km north-east of Centro, about 30 minutes via the M-11 and M-30. Barajas has four terminals spread over several kilometres, with T4 and T4S serving Iberia and long-haul arrivals a full shuttle ride from T1.
Most visitors are heading to Sol, Gran Vía, Salamanca or the Paseo del Prado hotels — all inside the low-emission Madrid Central zone, where access is restricted for non-registered vehicles. Licensed transfer vehicles can enter to drop guests at their hotel.
Business arrivals for IFEMA sit closer, roughly 10 minutes from the terminals, and the same fixed price logic applies.
