The Madrid Travel City Pass (also known as Tourist Ticket or Billete Turístico) allows you to use of all public transport in the Madrid region for an unlimited number of trips during a certain period of time. So it’s an incredibly practical and profitable way to get around the city!

The best way to make the most out of your time is to combine your Madrid Travel City Pass with a tourist card such as a Madrid Card (my favorite) or a Madrid Tourist Card .

Table of Contents

What is the Madrid Travel City Pass?

This city pass is also called Tourist Ticket or Billete Turístico in Spanish, and it’s a transport pass. It’s basically a personal card that allows to make an unlimited number of trips , using the regular public transport services.

In order to get your Madrid Travel City Pass, you first need to purchase a Madrid Multi Card .

As soon as you get yours, you are entitled to get free unlimited rides using all public transport services ( subway , light rail, buses and trains ) in Madrid and the rest of the region – comunidad autónoma .

It’s available for a set number of calendar days (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 days) and you can choose between two zones: A and T.

How much does the Billete Turístico (Tourist Ticket) cost?

Have a look at the official Billete Turístico fares.

How can you get your Madrid Multi Card?

The Madrid Multi Card costs 2.50€. If the first charge of Multi Card is a Billete Turístico (Tourist Ticket), the Multi Card sale-price will be included in the price of the Billete Turístico. So the card itself will be free!

Your can purchase your Multi Card without any ticket and it’s available at:

• All automatic ticket machines of Metro de Madrid and Metro Ligero (Light Rail).
• Tobacconist’s and other authorized points of sale, Bankia ATMs (with some exceptions) and Renfe Cercanías stations.

How does the Madrid Travel City Pass work?

It’s very simple to use it. Place your card on the ticket reader, which will confirm the validity of the card.

Your Madrid Travel City Pass is valid from the time of their first use and for the calendar consecutive days included in the selected ticket. Additionally you will be able to use the night services until 5:00 (5:00 AM) on the last day.

You can use your Zone A Tourist Ticket in:

• All Metro lines within zone A, including the airport supplement .
• All EMT buses lines, except for the Airport Express EMT bus line .
• All Cercanías (Renfe suburban railway) stations included in zones 0 and A.
• Metro Ligero (Light Rail) only on the ML1 line.

Your Zone T Tourist Ticket is valid for the above mentioned cases. And you can also use it in:

• The entire Metro of Madrid network.
• All EMT buses lines, excluding the Airport Express EMT bus line .
• All suburban buses.
• All Cercanías (Renfe suburban railway) stations covering zones 0, A, B1, B2, B3, C1, and C2.
• Metro Ligero (Light Rail) on ML2, ML3 and ML4 lines.

Be careful because your Tourist Ticket is not valid in any Renfe Regional trains (Media Distancia in Spanish) .

Once your Tourist Ticket expires, you can use your Multi Card regularly charging single and 10-trip tickets. Have a look at a complete guide to use your Madrid Multi Card correctly .

What is the difference between Zone A and Zone T?

As you can see on the map below,

• Zone A in red roughly covers the area within the municipal boundaries.
• Zone T includes the whole public transport network both within the city and surrounding areas (Zones B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, E1 and E2). Therefore, with a Zone T ticket you can go to Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Chinchón, Aranjuez and Alcalá de Henares.

Why should you buy it?

These are a few reasons that should incline you to get your Madrid Travel City Pass as soon as you arrive to the city:

• You can start using it as soon as you get to Madrid. In other words, you won’t have to deal with the ticket machines, which is always nice especially after a long flight and when you have to deal with jet lag.
• This city pass is excellent value for money. In fact, the Madrid Tourist Travel Pass is an excellent option for the Zone A if you plan to use it more than 2 days and for any combination of zone T.
• If you are traveling with children younger than 11, getting them a city pass is a no-brainer: their ticket cost 50% less than yours.
• Using the public transportation system is the very best way to get around Madrid and having a Madrid Tourist Travel Pass is the most convenient way to ride on it.

Zone A is my recommended option if you’re going to stay in the city center and plan to get around there.

Zone T is my recommended option if you’re planning on making day trips to places like El Escorial, Chinchón, Aranjuez or Alcalá de Henares.

IMPORTANT : It cannot be used on high-speed trains (including the AVE to Guadalajara and the Avant to Toledo) nor Renfe Operadora regional trains.

The map of Madrid is divided into 6 zones. (Click the links to explore the map and see what locations are included in each zone!) Knowing where your school or work is located will help you decide which metro card option to purchase. Luckily, the abono joven for people under 26 years old includes unlimited access to all zones !

Purchasing an abono (30-day Metro Card) for a zone further from the center will typically include all interior zones as well (for example, the purchase of an abono for the B3 zone will also include the B2, B1, and A zones). Adults aged 26 or over can also purchase supplements or inter-zone abonos to access additional zones outside of their monthly abono . 

Step 2: Deciding which metro card is right for you. 

Multi card .

The Multi Card is a reusable public transport card that can be loaded with up to 20 trips at a time. Since it is not personalized, it can be shared between friends and family members. This is a great option for tourists and visitors who will only be in Madrid for short periods of time. These cards can be used on metro and buses , and they can be easily purchased in metro stations, including the metro station at the airport.

NOTE : Discounts for disability or large families cannot be applied to this card.

Personal Card (TTP )

This is a personal, non-transferable card which includes your name, photo, and the card identification number. With this card, you can load both personal (monthly) and non-personal (10-trip or single trip) transport tickets, so it’s a great option for people who are staying in Madrid for a month or longer. This card can be used for metro, buses, and commuter trains ( Cercanías ) . To obtain this card, you can apply online or schedule an in-person appointment ( cita previa ) . 

NOTE : Large families, people with disabilities, and beneficiaries of the Employment Activation Program can receive a discount on this card.

Blue Medical Card 

This transport card is similar to the Personal Public Transport Card, but it’s reserved for citizens who are registered residents of Madrid and meet certain age, disability, and financial requirements.

Step 3: Checking your age. 

Wait! How old are you? Depending on your age, there are different abono options available. Adults between the ages of 26 and 65 receive the “normal” card and can select which zones they would like to purchase, while young adults under the age of 26 automatically receive a discounted price and have unlimited access to all zones . This is a great opportunity for students, language assistants, au pairs, and young professionals to easily travel around the Community of Madrid at a low cost!

Cost: 20 Euros 8 Euros*

*Thanks to Royal Decree-Law 8/2023, prices have been reduced 60% for monthly abonos and 50% for 10-trip cards  until December 31st, 2024 .

Validity:  This applies for people 26 to 64 years old. People above 65 years old can apply for the Abono de Tercera Edad .

Step 4: Time to purchase your metro card.  

There are two ways to apply for your personal monthly card: apply online or request an in-person appointment (cita previa ) . If you choose to apply online, you will need to provide a Spanish phone number and address where the card will be sent. (Don’t have one yet? Check out our Metro Card webpage and we’ll be happy to help you!) You will receive your card approximately 7-15 days after submitting your application. If you choose to have an in-person appointment, you will receive your card the day of your appointment, but it may be difficult to book an appointment, especially during the busy season in September. Remember that you will need a passport-size photo and a copy of your passport’s data page to apply for your personal monthly card.

Getting Around Madrid: Guide to Public Transportation

How to use the metro and EMT buses

Siqui Sanchez/Getty Images

As Spain's capital and largest city, Madrid teems with must-see sights , scores of excellent bars and restaurants , and a nightlife scene unlike any other. In order to make the most of your time, figuring out the city's extensive public transportation network is a must.

Luckily, it's not as overwhelming as it seems. Public transportation in Madrid is efficient and easy to navigate. Here's everything you need to know about getting around this thriving, happening city like a local.

How to Ride the Madrid Metro

By far, the most frequently used method of public transportation in Madrid is the metro . Stations can be identified by a red and white diamond-shaped sign marked "Metro" with the name of the stop below it. As you make your way into the station, you'll be able to see which lines (identified by number and color) that location serves. Follow the blue signs that say "Entrada."

Once inside the station, you'll need to purchase a public transport card from one of the machines. Simply follow the self-explanatory instructions on the screen (changing the text to your preferred language if need be). Once you have your card, you can then load your metro trips onto it, eliminating the need for paper tickets. Single journey and 10-trip passes are available .

To access the metro, scan your card over the electronic reader at the turnstiles. Do the same as you exit once you reach your destination.

Madrid Metro Fast Facts :

• Cost : €2.50 for the transport card; single journeys range from €1.50–€2. A 10-trip ticket costs €12.20.
• How to pay : With cash or card (where available) at the electronic ticket machines.
• Hours of operation : 6 a.m.–1:30 a.m.
• Transfer information : At the transfer station, follow the signs indicating where to board the train for your final destination. Once you arrive, exit the station as normal.
• Accessibility : More than two thirds of Madrid's 300-plus metro stations are completely accessible, and that number is increasing every year.

The Madrid Metro website offers an easy-to-use trip planner that can help you plan your route.

Riding the EMT Bus

Another popular method of public transportation in Madrid is the bus, with more than 200 lines serving all corners of the city. Local buses are blue and are operated by the company EMT. All bus stops throughout the city have digital screens showing the wait time until the arrival of the next bus from each line serving that stop.

A single-journey ticket on the bus costs €1.50 and can be purchased from the driver. The largest bill admitted is five euros. If you've purchased a 10-journey ticket on your metro card, you can also use these trips on the bus.

Once on board the bus, keep an eye on the screens inside which show the next stop. In order to signal to the driver that you need to get off, simply press the nearest button.

Normal bus service runs from 6 a.m.–11:30 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m.–11 p.m. on weekends. After hours, a limited number of night buses (known as búhos ) are available on some lines.

To start exploring, use the route planner on the EMT website.

The Cercanías Commuter Rail

If you need to go further afield, Madrid's commuter rail system—known as Cercanías —is incredibly useful. Many popular day trips from Madrid are accessible via these trains.

Cercanías stations are marked with a backwards white C against a red circular background. Inside, purchase your tickets at the electronic kiosk or from an employee at the desk. Hold onto your ticket throughout the entire trip—you'll need it both to access the train as well as to leave the station at your destination.

Information on routes and timetables can be found on the Cercanías website .

Airport Transportation

Travelers headed to or from Madrid-Barajas Airport have several options.

• Airport Express shuttle : Connects the city center (with stops at Atocha train station and Plaza de Cibeles) with all terminals of the airport. Luggage racks are available. Tickets cost five euros and are purchased on board.
• Metro : Line 8 from the Nuevos Ministerios station stops at the airport, with access to all four terminals. An additional three-euro supplement is charged.
• Cercanías : Line C1 connects Atocha station to terminal T4 at the airport. Tickets cost €2.60 for a single journey and €5.20 for a return trip. If you have a ticket for the AVE high-speed train , this journey is free. Ask a staff member for help if need be.

Official Madrid taxis are white with a red diagonal stripe on the front doors. You can hail one yourself on the street, online , or by calling +34 915 478 200. Another option is to have your hotel call a cab for you, or head to a designated taxi stop (indicated by a blue sign reading TAXI in white letters).

Biking in Madrid

If you'd like to see the city from two wheels and get in a great workout at the same time, you're in luck. Madrid's bike share program, BiciMAD , offers dozens of docking stations all around town. One, three, and five-day passes are available and can be purchased at the stations themselves.

Renting a Car

While it may seem like renting your own vehicle allows you more freedom and accessibility, it's not the best idea when visiting Madrid. The city's streets can be confusing to navigate for drivers unfamiliar with the area, traffic in central areas tends to be heavy throughout the day, and parking is next to impossible. If you're used to automatic cars, these tend to be more expensive to rent than their manual counterparts, which are more commonly driven in Spain. Save yourself the trouble and stick to public transportation.

Tips for Getting Around Madrid

• Many of the main sights within Madrid's city center—such as Puerta del Sol , Plaza Mayor , and the Royal Palace —are within walking distance from one another. Consider exploring on foot.
• Late at night, the only public transportation available are taxis and the búho buses , and even these don't operate on all normal bus lines. Plan your night out accordingly.
• Renovations and other improvement works are a near constant with the metro, and some stations may be temporarily closed as a result. Keep an eye on the Metro website for up-to-date information.
• Though generally safe, Madrid's public transportation network does draw its fair share of pickpockets, particularly at peak travel hours when trains and buses are more crowded. Always be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on your things.

Discovering the Madrid Metro and Bus System

Madrid’s public transport system seamlessly connects its core with an array of transportation options. While we’ll primarily focus on the metro and city buses that make city-center exploration a breeze, we’ll also touch upon the Light Rail system, suburban buses, and long-distance choices for those seeking wider exploration.

Unveiling Ticket Options

For those planning various durations of stay in Madrid, the public transport system offers a range of ticket options tailored to your needs. Whether you’re a short-term visitor or embarking on a mid to long-term adventure, here’s a breakdown of the available choices:

1. Monthly Pass for Mid to Long-Term Stays

If your Madrid journey involves a lengthier stay, whether for studies or work, the monthly pass, known as the ‘Abono,’ becomes your best friend. This pass grants you access to all of Madrid’s public transport for 30 days, making it an economical and practical choice. To streamline the process, consider ordering your personal transport card online about 15 days before your arrival. This way, you can skip waiting times and appointments, and have the card conveniently delivered to you.

Monthly Pass – Prices & Where to Buy

To obtain the monthly pass, you’ll need the personal transport card, which costs 4€. The cost of the monthly pass varies based on age and the desired transport zones. For those under 26, the ‘Abono Joven’ offers unlimited access between all zones for just 20€ a month.

• The next place would be the following station platforms : Puerta de Arganda, Tres Olivos and Estadio Metropolitano.

Why is pricing of Madrid Metro tickets so complicated?

We don't know. But legend has it that years ago, a senior Metro Madrid official conjured up the devil and asked him to invent tariffs to drive people crazy, hence the current prices of the Madrid metro came into being. To complicate matters further, one price was made for the 3 zones (B1 B2 and B3) + the TFM metro pack and another for the B1 and B2 zone + MetroSur pack. To top it off, in the world of urban transport the a tram is a "tram”. In Madrid however, it was deemed a "metro ligero" ("light rail"). Since then millions of people roam the streets of Madrid in a zombie like state, cursed forever to wandering, and eating brains.

We hope that with our maps and the above data, you can travel around Madrid, happily understanding at all times how much the fare is, without becoming a zombie.

3.2 Madrid Buses (EMT) – Routes, Night Buses & Airport Shuttle

The Municipal Transport Company of Madrid ( EMT ) is in charge of Madrid’s ultra efficient bus system. Comprised of over 200 bus lines with roughly 2,000 buses in operation, the bus system in Madrid is a great way to get around the city as it can take you to many places that the Madrid metro can’t reach. The EMT buses are blue city buses that operate within the central zone of Madrid – meaning they do not travel throughout the entire province of Madrid, but only the city of Madrid. Skip ahead for more info on how to travel through the Madrid province by bus .

Need to get to the Madrid airport ? The Madrid bus system is the cheapest way to get to Madrid Barajas Airport! They run all year round and the airport shuttle even runs for 24hrs a day! Read more in our guide to Madrid Airport Transportation Options and Discounts .

CAPÍTULO III. De los deberes de los viajeros

Sección primera. De los títulos de transporte

Artículo 24. Todo viajero habrá de estar provisto de un título de transporte que, antes de iniciar su viaje, deberá haber sometido a la oportuna validación y cancelación para el trayecto que se va a realizar, sin las que carecerá de validez. Quedarán exceptuados aquellos casos que se prevean en el Cuadro de Tarifas vigente.

Durante todo el viaje y hasta llegar a las barreras de salida de la estación de destino, el viajero deberá conservar el título de transporte a disposición de cualquier agente del Ferrocarril Metropolitano o de la Inspección del Consorcio Regional de Transportes que pudiera solicitárselo. La falta de título de transporte válido será sancionada conforme a lo establecido en el presente Reglamento.

Los viajeros portadores de títulos de transporte con un número limitado de viajes, tendrán el derecho a permanecer durante las tres horas siguientes a su validación en las instalaciones de la red del Ferrocarril Metropolitano. Transcurrido este tiempo, los poseedores de dichos títulos serán considerados, a todos los efectos, viajeros sin título de transporte válido.

Artículo 25.

a. Son títulos de transporte en vigor los que en cada momento estén aprobados por el Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid, que preceptivamente figurarán en el Cuadro de Tarifas.

b. Los títulos de transporte válidos en el Ferrocarril Metropolitano de Madrid serán de utilización personal, cualesquiera que sean sus características, a fin de dar cumplimiento a lo establecido en el artículo 24.

Artículo 26. El viajero deberá, en el momento de su adquisición, comprobar que el título de transporte adquirido es el adecuado y, en su caso, que el cambio recibido es correcto.

En el caso de tratarse de un billete despachado por expendedora automática, si el viajero considerase que ha habido error en el precio o en el cambio devuelto por la máquina, deberá ponerlo en conocimiento de cualquier agente de estación, que hará las diligencias pertinentes para la aclaración de la incidencia y actuará de acuerdo con el resultado de aquéllas.

Salvo supuestos especiales, debidamente justificados, no se tendrán en cuenta las reclamaciones posteriores sobre estos particulares.

Artículo 27. Los viajeros que adquieran el título de transporte después de ser informados de la existencia de alguna suspensión o incidencia en el servicio no tendrán derecho a la devolución de su importe a la que se refiere el artículo 12.

Artículo 28. Los viajeros desprovistos de título de transporte válido, estarán obligados a abonar en concepto de recargo extraordinario por el servicio utilizado o que se pretenda utilizar, el importe correspondiente a 20 veces el precio del billete sencillo.

De no hacerse efectivo dicho pago a los agentes actuantes del Ferrocarril, se cursará la oportuna denuncia a efectos de la incoación del correspondiente procedimiento sancionador.

Cuando se haya comprobado la utilización incorrecta de un título de transporte, éste podrá ser retirado por los agentes, si se trata de un título cuyas posibilidades de utilización hayan sido canceladas; o, en caso contrario, podrá ser retenido hasta que se abone el recargo señalado en el párrafo anterior.

Sección segunda. De la utilización de las instalaciones

Artículo 29. Los viajeros estarán sujetos a las obligaciones y prohibiciones que la Ley 16/1987, de 30 de julio, de Ordenación de los Transportes Terrestres y su Reglamento de 28 de septiembre de 1990 establecen en sus normas sobre Policía de Ferrocarriles.

Artículo 30. Los empleados de la empresa explotadora del Ferrocarril Metropolitano tendrán, en el ejercicio de las funciones de Policía a que se refiere el artículo anterior, la consideración de agentes de la autoridad.

Sección tercera. De las infracciones y sanciones

Asimismo se consideran infracciones tanto la utilización incorrecta de los títulos de transporte, como fumar o llevar el cigarro encendido en todos los coches, escaleras mecánicas y dependencias que integran la red del Ferrocarril Metropolitano de Madrid.

Artículo 32. Las infracciones a las que se hace referencia en el anterior artículo serán sancionadas con la multa prevista en el artículo 295 del Reglamento de Ordenación de los Transportes Terrestres.

Artículo 33.

a. El órgano competente para incoar y resolver los procedimientos sancionadores previstos en este Reglamento es el Director Gerente del Consorcio Regional de Transportes. El procedimiento se iniciará siempre de oficio, bien por propia iniciativa o como consecuencia de denuncia.

b. El procedimiento para la imposición de las sanciones se ajustará a lo previsto en la Ley 16/1987, de 30 de julio, de Ordenación de los Transportes Terrestres y en el Reglamento para su aplicación, aprobado por Real Decreto 1211/1990, de 28 de septiembre, así como en la Ley 30/1992, de 26 de noviembre, de Régimen Jurídico de las Administraciones Públicas y del Procedimiento Administrativo Común.

At the end of each journey how do you end the trip as the metro exits just let you through and I could not see how to confirm the end destination ?

You pay for the entry, not the exit. It will charge on the magnetic strip on the ticket. Just don't lose the ticket (or put it through the wash as my husband was wont to do!).

Many zThanks for your assistance

Thanks that is really helpful to know about the airport requirements
