goddamn !
Yeah I got caught today. After watching this I assumed my 3 day card would finish at 10:30 am this morning. It didn't, only lasted 3 calendar days. Had to pay sn extra €5to get back to the airport.
@@TheRed-yj2xh it's really annoying, they way the pass is configured now it's a real trap. Wish they changed it.
I visited Madrid 3 weeks ago and after watching this video bought the tourist ticket on arrival in the late evening thinking we could use it the next day 😊 But the next morning the bus driver said our tourist ticket was expired and had to buy new one🙈
@@wfa-1 it's a pity you didn't read the massive warning we put right above your comment.
Excellent video with useful information! All very well explained and didactic, as always. I LOVED it all 🤩
👏👏👏👏 Thank you, Yara!
Thanks!!! Spending 4 weeks in Santa Pola, but travelling to Madrid by train for a few days too. This video was really helpful thank you!!! Viva Espana 🇪🇸
Great to hear that!
I want to thank you for your detailed videos with thorough explanations and illustrations. I found them to be a terrific help before my trip to Madrid in March.
Delighted to hear that, Connie, if you have any questions, do ask!
Thank you for your research and information to make this possible. We visited both Spain and Portugal. Easy to follow instructions. 😊.
Great to hear that, Ryan.
Thanks Tony, for another very informative video. All the information you shared will surely be of big help for all travelers planning a trip to Madrid. 👍
Hopefully I get to make a trip to Spain 🇪🇸 soon !!! Warm regards !! 😃
Hello Jasper, good to see you around! Many thanks for your words! All the best!
These are the most helpful videos, thanks so much
Delighted to hear that, thanks a lot, John.
Very helpful, thank you so much! :)
Don't mention it!
This is very helpful! Thank you for doing this Tony Gálvez! Amazing!
Glad to hear that. Please note that the tourist ticket is now valid per calendar day and not per 24-hour blocks.
Very very informative. Thanks you a LOT! Going to Madrid in a month and this comes handy
Great to hear that, Chantal. Do not miss our Madrid Travel Guide: ruclips.net/video/eP_f_i9vGxg/видео.html All the best!
Thank you! Your video really helped me understand how the Madrid tourist card works.
Excelent. Be aware that the tourist card is now only valid for natural days, as opposed to 24 hour periods. So it only makes sense to being using it at the start of the day.
Thank you for your videos, great help for my upcoming trip to Madrid. Muchas gracias.
¡De nada! Delighted to hear we are being helpful, thank you, Shizuma.
Thanks much muchas gracias again Tony! another video that is really helpful for our family trip
Great to hear that, Danny, cheers!
A correction to what it is stated on the video: the tourist ticket is valid per natural day rather than per 24-hour periods. So if you start using a 2-day ticket at 8pm, it will only be valid until the end of the following day.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you for the follow up Tony. I did visit the link to the metromadrid website that you listed and saw that validity of the ticket not based on 24 hrs increment, but per calendar day instead.
hola! My husband and I are travelling to Madrid end of August. We are on our way to Buen Camino in early Sept. starting in Sarria. Watching your videos really help us on how to go about while staying 3 days in Madrid. Gracias,
Delighted to hear that, have a great trip! Un abrazo.
Thank you for the beneficial information.
👍
Thanks to this video we have visited Toledo very easily and affordable. Gracias Mr. Galvez! You are the best!
Delighted to hear that!
An important note: we bought 24hour tourist ticket. eventhough we bought it at 11:00 am, we could not use it next day until 11:00 am. Because it was expired at midnight. It was very disapointing for us. Be careful
@@burcina8050 thanks again. When we tested the pass before we recorded the video we were able to use it on the next day. Something must have changed. We have added a note on the fixed comment above.
Very helpful info thanks
👍🏻👏🏻
thank you! this is very clear
Our pleasure. Please read the comment underneath the video, the pass is now valid for calendar days and not for periods of 24 hours.
Thank you sir. Very clear instructions.
Our pleasure!
Hello
Thanks for the helpful videos.
You welcome!
Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure! Please be aware that now the validity of the pass is counted by calendar days and not 24-hour periods.
Great information
Glad to hear that, Vaishnavi.
Wow great information 🙏
Great to hear that! Please pay attention to the warning on the first commentary below the video.
Thank you so much for this INFO's sir! :) I'll be there tom and stay in 3days! im searching for the budget ticket for 3days so thank you for this INFO! God bless sir! :)
Glad to be of help! Please pay attention to the warning on the first commentary below the video.
Very helpful thank you
Our pleasure!
Thank you for the video and info , Heading to Madrid tonight and definitely will try the card
Thanks Ahmed, be aware the card is now only valid for calendar days, so if you but it at the end of the day, one day of usage will be gone quickly.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you for that info , I just have a question, Is Tetuan neighbourhoods part of zone A of the metro?
yes, it is. Have a great trip!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks , you are wonderful
Very helpful video. Thank you. I will be arriving at Madrid Airport on a Thursday evening and then staying in Getafe until Monday. I had initially planned to get the 5 day pass so very pleased to see that the pass is valid per 24 hours as apposed to days. Saved me some cash 😀. Madrid has to have the most complex public transport system I have came across so far.
Thank you. A word of warning, we put it on the first fixed comment but not everyone gets to see it: the Tourist Ticket is now valid per calendar day and not per 24-hour period.
Getafe is not in Madrid, so you should probably get the more expensive Tourist Ticket. You need to work out whether it's a good choice for you. Also, don't know whether you have the option of choosing a different location for your accommodation, to us, Getafe is definitely a no-no, too far from the centre of Madrid, you will lose valuable time on a daily basis.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Hi thank you for the response, that's a shame they have changed it to calendar day 😫. I am basing myself in Getafe due to the nature of my trip (going to football games nearer that area, Leganes Fuenlabrada etc) also as a solo traveller the hotels in Madrid centre are just far too expensive. So makes more sense to get the more expensive tourist card and save on hotels for me.
We feel we always have to warn our followers when they choose to stay far from the centre of Madrid. But in your specific case, your choice makes perfect sense. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks again for this video. The pass covering the whole transport network was brilliant for my stay in Getafe. It was only 20 mins to Madrid centre on the Cercanías trains and also used it to travel to Majadahonda (then using busses there) and to Leganes. I would say for travellers on a budget Getafe is actually not bad for a base to explore Madrid in my opinion
@@faughnan1 thank you for sharing your experience. Great to hear you had a positive experience!
Thank you!
👍👍👍
Thanks a lot going tomorrow ❤❤
Have a great trip, Omar.
Thanks!
Very kind of you!
Wow you are the best,love table
👏👏👏👏
Hi Tony, thanks for the helpful videos. I'm a bit unsure if the tourist pass includes the renfe airport train. We are arrive early around 5h00am so it might be useful to get pass right away. We need to get to atocha station to change trains to the c3 line going to san Christobal industrial
Hi Colette, judging by the information provided on the official website, the ticket is valid on local trains too.
Awesome videos! Does this tourist pass include the hop on/off tour buses in Madrid? Thank you!
Don't mention it! No, the tourist pass does not include the hop-on hop-off buses. All the best!
Love your videos! Is there a route from Valencia to Barcelona on the Renfe high speed train?
Thank you! No, not yet. You can see the current high-speed lines on the video we recorded a while ago here: ruclips.net/video/n_M20gV04OY/видео.html
I love your videos very helpful. I'm checking your videos to plan our visit to Spain. I imagine the Tourist pass cannot be purchased online?
Thank you, Eleftheria. As far as we know, no, the Tourist pass cannot be purchased online.
hallo, very useful video for me, because i have a plan to visit Madrid and Lisbon on this Oct. Like this channel, keep upload the excellent information for us (non EU traveller)
Great to hear that, Yosef, and be very welcome to the channel.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks for your response, so if i will on Madrid for 2 days, i just need to buy 2 days pass multi ticket, correct? so i use this ticket for metro, bus and local train (Renfe Cercanias)???
@@yosefandrie5173 that’s correct, Yosef, as explained on the video.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thanks for your reply, anyway, do you have a video for Vivaviagem in lisbon? i need the detail information about this card also.
@@yosefandrie5173 we haven’t started yet publishing videos on Portugal, hope to be able to do that before the end of the year.
*Bono turístico ("abono" is more used to name cards for which you pay a monthly or yearly fee regularly, e.g. "abono transporte").
Thanks, Tony - another excellent video! When you say the tourist card includes "local trains", does that mean the Cercanías lines (C-1 through C-10)?
Hi, cercanías trains indeed, and only within the city of Madrid. Please be aware the Tourist Ticket now is based on calendar days and not 24-hour periods.
Super clear video. Thanks a ton Tony for all the information across many videos you make...you guys really make it easy and let us plan with precision.
Can you share if there is an option to buy these cards ahead online and collect it on arrival at Atocha train station?
Any other transport option for a family? I find it always useful to use one card for family as its easy to use and handle when crossing station barriers or platforms and handling kids and strollers at the same time😄
Hi there, no, there is no option to buy those cards ahead. You get them from the machine on the date of travel. Be aware that the validity of the cards is per calendar day and not per 24 hour period. If you start using it at 9pm, the first day of use will run out at the end of the day. For families, probably better to get a Metrobus 10 viajes, valid for 10 trips in metro or buses, it can be loaded on a single Tarjeta Multi. All the best.
Thank you for the videos! Very helpful! I'm gonna be in Madrid soon! Could you help me with what's the easiest way to get to "Puerta de Toledo" or "Embajadores" from the airport by metro?
Thank you! 😌
Hi George, by metro you would have to take three different lines. The airport train takes you directly to Pirámides, between Puerta de Toledo and Embajadores. See the details here: ruclips.net/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/видео.html
Hola, Tony - We love your videos! We just found out that when we are in Madrid that the metro 1 line will not be working in the direction of Valdecarros. We are staying not far from Sol, so we were wondering what your advise would be for getting to the Reina Sofia Museum and the Atocha Train station which are both on line 1. ¡Gracias!
Hola Marta. The closure of metro line 1 is a real pain. Take train C4 from Sol to Atocha.
Thank you so much for your videos. Because of them, we were able to get through T4S to T4 with no problems; collect our luggage from the carousel; successfully buy 2x tourist travel passes as we followed your instructions to the letter; find our way to the Metro.
Unfortunately here, just about to get onto a train, a local tapped me on my shoulder, just in time to prevent a pickpocket from trying to steal my wallet, even from a buttoned up pocket. Two teenaged girls and a man in his 30s or 40s.
A challenge for you would be to produce a guide to gluten free eating in Madrid -?restaurants, cafés and even supermarkets like Mercador. Written guides seem to suggest Madrid has better and more numerous gluten free dining places than Central London. Solo De Croquetas was a great place to start.
Many thanks for your informative videos. Keep up the most excellent work.
Thank you so much for all the feedback on your trip. Thankfully the pickpockets were spotted before they could act. Right now we are unlikely to do a gluten free guide of Madrid, as the amount of research work involved would be immense. May be in the future. All the very best to you!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal You are certainly not wrong with all the research 🤣 Again, thanks for all the good work
Thank you for the informative videos. I am flying to Spain tomorrow. I am staying at Pullman Madrid Airport & Feria and plan to see Madrid, Avila, and Toledo. A 10-journey ticket probably doesn't work in my case, right?
Thank you! The 10-journey ticket is only valid for trips within Madrid, it won't take you to Ávila or Toledo. It's a good ticket to move around the city.
another interesting video. last time i was in madrid i purchased the card and a 10 trip ticket (valid for 10 trips on bus train or subway within madrid), it cost me about 9 euros. I think it depends how much you will use the metro, i stayed in central madrid so walked a lot and ended up only using 6 of the trips.
Yes, your location is key.
Really helpful video. Quick question, if you buy a tourist ticket, do you still need to pay the airport extra charge on top or does the ticket already include that? Thanks
Thanks! The tourist ticket includes the airport surcharge.
Hi Tony, thanks for the informative video. It’s really helpful. I’m travelling soon to Madrid and am a little confused as which would be the best budget option.
I am staying for 2 nights in Madrid and have my flight on 3rd day morning and would want to use public transportation. On the second day, I’m visiting La Rozas village. Can you please suggest
Hi Devangana, if budget is an issue, buy a Metrobus 10 viajes, a ticket that entitles you to 10 trips on buses or the metro. You will have to buy a specific ticket to go to Las Rozas. All the best.
Hola! Thanks for informative videos. Is titulo turistico the same as the madrid city card? Thank you
Hi there, no, it's not the same. We haven't had the time to look at it in the detail, but there are some annoying things about it. In theory, the transport card included would allow you to use the airport metro for free. But you cannot purchase the Madrid City Card at the airport...
Hello Tony, Watch most if not all of your video - very helpful. I am going to be at Madrid on Sat. 11/4/2023 and plan to visit Segovia (after 12pm on 11/4 - 1/2 day). Any recommendations on how to get from Madrid to Segovia. It looks like very limited schedule for high speed train (faster) and more bus schedule (longer). Do you have any advice? Many Thanks.
Hi Tommy, you will find that information on the video we dedicated to the best day trips from Madrid here: ruclips.net/video/80L9bhy14fw/видео.html We also have a video on what to do in Segovia here ruclips.net/video/L9dLOVLoPU8/видео.html
Your videos are super amazing! I learned quite a lot from your videos. Gracias! I have a question. When my 2-day pass expired, can I top up "single travel" to this expired 2-day pass? So I can keep using this "expired" 2-day pass.
Hi Gordon, first of all, you should be aware the the Madrid Tourist Ticket is valid per natural day rather than per 24 hour period. Once you use up the Tourist Ticket, the Multi Card, the support where you load it, is yours to keep and, should you choose to, to load new tickets on it. All the best.
Hello please do a vlog on Barcelona to stiges too
Hi Tony, thank you for another wonderful video. I have watched and followed all your videos for our 3 weeks trip in Spain and we are arriving in our final stop by train to Madrid in a couple of days. We are staying in the Vincci Capitol Hotel which I understand is in the centre of town. We are hoping to take the metro from Atocha to Sol, then do most of the local sightseeing on foot, then take a day trip to Toledo, and then take the metro or taxi to the airport. Is the 10 trips multi card the best for us? And do you know how much approximately is taxi to airport? Thank you so much in advance.
Hello there. The 10 trips multi card sounds like the best choice for you indeed, better than the Tourist Ticket. On this video you will find the cost of transportation from and to the airport, including by taxi: ruclips.net/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/видео.html All the best to you!
Gracias Tony! Another very informational video!!! What are your thoughts on Hop on hop off buss in Madrid (and Barcelona). Won't be able to walk a lot and it seems you can stop and visit things and then get on again.... Staying at Calle de Echegaray, 1 in Madrid so thinking if we do hop on hop off may be just purchasing one ticket to get from airport to hotel or would I need two since I would have to take the bus from Nuevos Ministerios after Pink 8?
Hi Edgard, we don't have a video on the topic for Madrid but check out our video on the tourist bus in Barcelona: ruclips.net/video/SV-yIyjqRCo/видео.html
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal helpful as usual...Thank you... going to Calle de Echegaray, 1...From MAD airport do we need one ticket for pink line to Nuevos Ministerios and bus or two tickets separate one for Metro and one for bus? Does it make sense to take the train C1 to Atocha and then bus close to our address? Thanks so much in advance!
@@edgarmiraku5715 hi Edgar, we have a specific video for the transport options from Madrid airport here ruclips.net/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/видео.html You cannot board Madrid buses with luggage (the only exception being the ones leaving from the airport. See also this video to see how to reach Puerta del Sol, near your accommodation ruclips.net/video/Z8EU5rjmvGo/видео.html
Great info!
What if the intention is just to catch a metro to airport from the city and nothing else , what do you recommend?
Avinash, you just want to take a single trip to the airport? No return to the city?
Thank you for this informative video. My son and I are visiting Madrid in August, I’ll be there for a week, he’ll be there for 4 months for school. I’ll buy the 7 day pass mentioned in your video but what should he buy? Is there a monthly option?
Hello there, Alan, no monthly option for visitors, I'm afraid. But he can buy several Metrobus 10 viajes (valid for 10 trips on buses or the metro) and use them as the need arises. All the best.
Hello, thank you for making this video! Very helpful! I still have a question though: The place i'm gonna be in is near the Station San Cristobal Industrial. But I don't know if i need to buy a turistico ticket zone A or T... I'm staying for 4 days in Madrid.
What would you recommend? thank you in advance!
Hi Julie, we imagine you have chosen that location because you are going to Madrid for work reasons, for tourism it is a terrible location. See the series of mistakes you should avoid making in Madrid: ruclips.net/video/lTu3jLq0gPk/видео.html . Zone A should cover San Cristóbal. All the best!
Hi Tony,
May I ask if La Moraleja metro station is covered by Zone A pass? Thank you.
Hi, La Moraleja is in zone B1, it wouldn't be covered by the Zone A pass.
very good and useful video! but I have a quick question: does the tourist pass include the cercanías trains?
Yes, it is explained in the video, where it says local trains: ruclips.net/video/HJHUDy7pb_A/видео.html
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you
hello, when taking the bus in Madrid shall we validate/tap the tourist card when boarding and leaving the bus or just when boarding and tapping it once only. thanks!
Hello, just the one time when boarding the bus.
Thanks. Very helpful. We will spending 3 nights at the Acta Madfor (Principe Pio) and spend most of the time at the center of Madrid. What is the best way to travel from/to Airport/Hotel for group of 5?
Hi Mike, Acta Madfor is a lovely hotel, is not right in the centre but transport connections are very good. The airport train will take you directly to Príncipe Pío station. But being 5, I would either take a taxi (fixed fare of 30€) or a ridesharing service. See the options on this video: ruclips.net/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/видео.html
Thank you so much for your informative video yet again! I have a quick question i will be staying my first week in madrid in the chamberi neighborhood do i need a zone A or zone T tourist card? I will be taking a day trip to Salamanca but im purchasing fast train ticket separately for that one, and as well for Toledo on another day i will purchase the fast train ticket to cut time. Should i get A or T? Gracias! Olé!
Hola Rina, for the Chamberí neighborhood you only need a Zone A ticket. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal gracias!
I understand that there is construction at Puerta Del Sol, is the Metro still open at that location?
There is major construction work going on, but for the metro is business as usual for the time being,
Thanks for the informative videos Tony, I have been advised to purchase the Tarjeta Dorada, when I visit in April, is this still in use? how does it vary to the Tarjeta Multi?
Many thanks
John
Hi John, the Tarjeta Dorada is a discount card for train travel on Renfe trains around Spain. In our opinion, it's not worth the price you pay for it. Tarjeta Multi is a card for the local transport of Madrid. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you
Appreciate your insights
Good morning and need help - What is the best way to go from Airport Terminal2 to Sol by public transport? ......(a) Express Bus to (Cibeles)Banco De Spana and then Metro to Sol, or (b) Metro 8 to Nuevos Ministerlos and then C* renfe trains? Also is tourist pass valid for above path (b) travel i.e. renfe C3/C4 etc.? Thank you in adavance.
Hello there, we have a specific video on how to get to Sol, here: ruclips.net/video/Z8EU5rjmvGo/видео.html The Tourist Ticket is valid onboard Renfe trains. Bear in mind, however, the Ticket if valid per calendar day, if buy a one day ticket and you start using it at 5 pm, it will only be valid until the end of the day.
Well I believed what this video said about these passes expiring at exactly the same time you bought it on the day of expiry. So I bought a 48 hour pass at 16.30 on 16 May 2023 expecting it to expire at 16.30 on 18 May 2023. When I went to use it on a bus at 09.30 on 18 May, it would not work- you've guessed it, it had expired at the end of the calendar day of 17 May. After paying for the bus, I tried it at a metro station and it wouldn't work. A lady at the Metro Shop at Sol station confirmed they expire by calendar day. So the motto of this is, don't buy one of these passes late in the day. I was particularly annoyed at what happened as I had had to buy an expensive Zone T pass as my hotel.was in Zone B1.
As videos cannot be edited or updated once published, we used the tools RUclips provides us, content creators: two warnings, both in the description of the video and on the first fixed comment under the video, reading "IMPORTANT: the Tourist Ticket is now valid per calendar day and not per 24-hour period."
Can you use the Tourist Card on Bus 101 or 200 from MAD airport? Thanks!
You can.
Hello..
Firstly let me thank you for your informative & detailed videos.. they have been a great help to me in planning our family’s upcoming trip to Spain.
I wanted to ask you about this discount which is being offered on the 10 trip ticket upto 30th June 2023… is it valid on all forms of transport? And is it a good option? I will be in Madrid for 4 days.
Thank you
Hi Rupali, the discount is valid for the Metrobus 10 viajes ticket, valid for metro and buses. It is a good option. All the best!
Good day Tony,
Will be visiting Spain on September October and the Spain Government release a statement about getting a FREE fare for train less that 100 minutes. Is RENFE will be included to this? will it be available and HOW to: MADRID to Segorvia, MADRID to TOledo, Seville to Cordoba. Please update us and make a video on how to Avail this options. Thank you Fermin
Hello there, Fermin, ¡buenos días! We regret to inform that are not going to make a video, nor answers questions, on the issue you mention for several reasons:
- here in the channel our resources are limited and we always focus on content that will be long-lasting. We are not going to devote our limited resources to a four-month long scheme.
- it is an incredibly complex scheme.
- it is a scheme designated for locals, not for tourists. That doesn't mean tourists can make use of it but there are many restrictions in force that will prevent many from doing so.
- it is a scheme designated for commuters, so unless you commute often on the same stretch of line (minimum of 16 trips during the period), you're unlikely to make much out of it.
In case you're interested, here's the info on the scheme in Spanish: www.renfe.com/es/es/grupo-renfe/sociedades/renfe-viajeros/abonos-renfe
All the best.
Hi Tony, What's the best way to purchase fares for the interurban buses? For example route 337 to Chinchon
As we only use those buses very occasionally, we always buy the ticket from the driver the moment we board the bus.
Hi Tony, I am staying in retiro Park area , 5 min walk from my stay. I also intend to go Toledo. Shall I buy Zone Z tourist card or multi card?
Hi, Irfan, if you plan on going to Toledo by bus and leave the airport using the metro, the Tourist ticket might be a good choice. Otherwise, stick to a Metrobus 10 viajes. You will need a Multi Card either way, the Multi Card is the support where your tickets are loaded.
I am travelling to Madrid airport next year. Is it possible to advise me as to what travel card or ticket I should buy to get to the hotel Globales Aciscy Galetta
Due to the location of your accommodation (we assume you're not visiting Madrid and rather staying close to the airport) we would take a Bolt/Cabify/Uber. The alternative is bus 200 (pay with a Tarjeta Multi loaded with a Metrobus 10 viajes). See all the details here: ruclips.net/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/видео.html
Hi Tony, thanks for helpful video!!!
I will be arriving at Madrid Airport on 3 weeks.
The Tourist Ticket, is now valid per calendar day OR per 24-hour period ?
Hi Giannis, unfortunately, the Tourist Ticket is only valid per calendar day so unless you arrive in Madrid in the morning or plan on using the airport metro, it's not such a good investment for the day of your arrival.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you very much Tony,for the advice.
Hello I wanted to confirm two things.!!
Can i use zone T card for travel from madrid - segovia - avila - madrid.
Also what all bus services can I use for above journey
Thank you in advance.
Hi, no, you cannot use the card for those destinations.
hi, we are going to stay a month in Barcelona and 3-5 days Valencia, malaga and Madrid is there any card pass for whole museum's and transportation inside of cities of Spain?
or is there any card to have a entry pass for a month for Barcelona transportation and sightseeing ?
Hi there, in the car of Barcelona, there is a very good pass, check it out here: ruclips.net/video/DdI8q2ExeHo/видео.html Check the transport passes for Barcelona here ruclips.net/video/T2n160pWqJQ/видео.html We also have a video no Madrid museum passes.
Coming back to this video again after I had more idea about possible day trips was very helpful. The Zone T pass will get you by bus to Toledo or Aranjuez, but is the Cercanias train to Aranjuez also covered? Also, what about El Escorial? It seems that it's on the Cercanias network too, so will a Zone T pass get me to El Escorial?
If you take a Cercanías train, you will be covered. But if you take a middle distance train you might not be covered. Our advice, ask for clarification at the transport information desk at T4 when you arrive at the airport. We don't want to give you the wrong information. Also, be aware the pass is now valid per calendar day and not per 24 hour period.
Yes I understand just the Cercanias. But also the bus (and thank you for your explanation why the bus can be better for El Escorial). I’m not sure the tourist pass will be worth it for me but it’s good to take day trips into account.
@@orfeocookie it usually works out cheaper to pay for the transport, unless you are going to embark on a mad rush of day trips on the same day, something we are against.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal that is not remotely what I'm suggesting as my intention.
@@orfeocookie nor did we imply that.
Hi I have a question. From my reading and undertsanding at the Metro website the Multi card alone is multi personal ie can be used by multi person but the Tourist Ticket is a personal ticket that each person need to have one each. So therefore if i purchased a Multi Card at Euro 2.50 and top up or loaded a 10 journey ticket then one card can be use by multi person right?
You are absolutely right. The Multi Card can be shared by different users. The only exception is the Tourist Ticket, which is individual.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you
Hello, I was just wondering if I wanted to use a Tourist Card to get from the T4 Cercanias station to Atocha and then use it in the city centre for a few days will I have to pay for Zone A or Zone T fairs?
Hi Maxwell, we believe for that purpose you will need the Zone A card, but if in doubt, make the most of the ticket counter at the airport to ask.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you for the clarification 👍
Hi Tony, don't usually spend any time looking at videos on RUclips but found this one and the one about the areas to stay in Madrid useful. We are staying in Madrid for one night on Friday 9th Sept. We do like to see some of the old areas of Madrid during the day and like tapas bar/s for the evening. Can you recommend a couple of streets or hotel/s near or in this type of area of Madrid. We have up to 180 euros for the hotel.
Kind regards

Hi Jeff and Sue, anywhere between the Arenal Street and the Gran Vía would be the perfect location for you. It's busy, it's loud, it's lively, it's close to all the sights. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal we should have added the following - we are travelling to Santander on the ferry and at first will be staying in our caravan near Santander, visiting the Rioja area and then leaving the caravan on a site 45 minutes near Madrid. We are unsure whether to drive in to Madrid and pay for parking for two days or leave our car in a carpark or area near to a underground station and access Madrid/hotel this way? We will be travelling from the north side to Madrid. Any help would be much appreciated. With the info you would possibly supply it would also allow us to decide on the hotel.
@@jeffcann4752 park and ride is not as common in Madrid as in other European capitals. We are not familiar with any parking facilities close to a metro station in Madrid (it doesn't mean there are none, we just simply don't know where they are). Sorry we can't be of help this time.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal no worries - you have been helpful.
Hi, if I'm over 26 and coming to Madrid for a few days. How is it recommended to get around by public transport and how can the costs of this be reduced?
Buy a Metrobus 10 viajes, which allows for 10 trips on either buses or metro.
Hola Tony,
con el ticket de turista (Zona A) no puedo salir del aeropuerto entonces? tengo que comprar un ticket distinto? o qué es el "Airport Train"?
Te íbamos a recomendar nuestro canal en español pero ya la has descubierto tu solito. Te vemos por ahí.
Hello sir... for my Spain trip I'm seeing ur videos which are very informative...
I have to to Sol... which transport will be best for me...we r 2 person and we are staying in sol for 2 nights...
Pl help me with ur valuable information 🙏
See here how to reach Sol: ruclips.net/video/Z8EU5rjmvGo/видео.html
Thank you for this, its so helpful. If I'm going to Villeca from T4 Madrid is there straight express bus or which is the easiest ?
Which Zone is Villeca?
Our pleasure! Don't know where Villeca is. Do you have a specific address?
Its in Calle del Archivo, Izquierda Madrid.
@@osaabi8371 take the airport train to Atocha and then metro line 1 to Villa de Vallecas and then walk. The Tourist Ticket is NOT valid on the express bus. All the options to leave the airport explained here ruclips.net/video/eq1mDR4XH90/видео.html
Thank you, that helps. So if i have 1 way ticket from Renfe cercanias and my route is only thru renfe to Villecas, can i consume that within calendar day?
Another thing, if i have ticket online from RENFE and OUIGO for long distance outside madrid can i scan the code from my phone
@@osaabi8371 here we deal with the Tourist Pass, it is valid on the day of purchase. If you are buying a single train ticket, do so when you are about to use it. The free train ticket is explained here ruclips.net/video/DYllLw4wSS4/видео.html
Hola Tony, do you have a video to explain the free tickets scheme that will end by December 2023? Renfe Cercanías and medium-distance services
Hello, we don't have such video nor plan to do one, as the scheme is truly complex and geared towards local commuters.
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Well noted thank you!
Hola. After expiry of the tourist card validity, can I load the multi card with normal single ticket or 10 tickets? If yes, can I use one multi card for multiple people if loaded with 10 tickets?
Hi Debasish, yes, you can use the MultiCard as if it was new, you can load whatever you want, such as a Metrobus 10 tickets, and share with other people.
Is C4 included travel? Is that a train or metro? Confused and i leave for Madrid tomorrow. I need specific examples or it doesn't make sense. Lol😅😢
C4 is a train, it is included within the city of Madrid.
hi Tony, if i buy the tourist pass for 1 day, can i make multiple trips to and from the airport on that day without having to pay the airport surchage?
Hi Sara, you can make unlimited trips without having to pay the airport surcharge.
Buenos Dias. Mi esposa y yo vamos a estar en un hotel que esta cerca de la estacion El Capricho ( linea 5) Es esta area parte de la zona A?
Hola, a pesar de estar lejísimos del centro, está dentro de la zona A.
HI I M COMEING BARCLONA FROM INDIA PLZ SUGGEST WICH TEANSPORT IS BEST TO EXPLORE THE CITY AND NEAR BY PLACES FOR 10 DAYS.

i have a question, atm i am with my dad in madrid and we are enjoying very much snd 10 trip ticket is fine for us. we did choose only zona a1 or so, but we are planning to go in the next few days to „the style outlet“ in northern madrid.
is there a way to get there and change our ticket for just one day to get there?
we asked our guide yesterday and she explained that we can enter a bus and show them our tourist ticket, tell them that this is only for zone a but we wanna go into zone b and then we need to pay some additional fee. is that correct and are the bus drivers fine talking in english?
We are a a bit confused, you talk about 10 trip tickets and then tourist tickets, which one are you really using? You can't assume all drivers will talk English, the majority won't. Our advice, look for a tourist information cabin (plenty around Madrid) and ask for specific help for your trip, there you are sure to find English speakers. All the best.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal will do and muchas gracias :)
Hello Tony, How do the 30 Day transport passes work please? I'll soon be in Madrid for 8 days where I'll be using the metro every day including an airport trip on day 1 & day 8. I think that the 30 day ticket could be my cheapest & best option.
Hi David, only local residents can get 30 day passes.
Ah, thank you for such a quick response Tony.
Something else I should have asked - I've been to Madrid once before, in 2018. Will the Multi-Card I bought then still be valid to add my new transport tickets to please, or does the Multi-Card itself expire after a certain period?@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
@@davidw3274 in theory, the MultiCard is valid for 10 years.
We are 2 travelers. Day 1 morning from sol to atocha and evening atocha to sol. Day 2 morning sol to Atocha. Total 6. Can we load 6 on 1 card and share it over the 2 days?
In you case, the Tourist Ticket makes no sense at all. The best deal for you right now is a Metrobus 10 viajes, including 10 trips on the metro and the buses (bear in mind you can only board the buses with cabin luggage).
Question.. if we’re traveling all over Spain, which is the best method? Renfe Tu card or Eurocard? Would it wise for us to buy the Dorada card-online (we’re seniors). Thank you!
Hi, we don't know what Eurocard is, and the Renfe&Tú Card is only valid for commuter trains in the large cities - cannot be used on high-speed trains. Tarjeta Dorada is interesting but a) you can't buy it online b) it only works for Renfe, not for Avlo, Iryo or Ouigo. See our advice on purchasing high-speed train tickets here: ruclips.net/video/QYvUn-sJxZ4/видео.html
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal muchas gracias! Eurorail es lo que estaba refiriendo. Ya he mirado 20 o 30 de sus RUclips :) tengo más que ver!
@@beckymramos2262 👍
It is OK If i buy only one 10 tickets multicard and use for
2 persons go together, just pay 2 times each?
There is some confusion here. The Multicard is the support where you load your tickets, whether the Tourist Ticket or a Metrobus 10 viajes. If you top up your Multicard with a Metrobus 10 viajes, two people can use it. Two credits will be discounted every time you two use it.
My wife and I will visit Spain between 23 May and 9 June 2023. During this trip we want to travel by train from Seville to Ronda, and then on to Granada. Are there any trains travelling between these cities?
See ruclips.net/video/n_M20gV04OY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/MYqz41n5Qn4/видео.html Please choose for your question a video related to the topic.
I need a pass for all transportation that works for ALL cities in Spain......is there such thing?
There is no such thing.
What card should I get if I’m staying in Madrid but want to do a day trip to Zaragoza?
You will need to buy a high-speed train ticket, see how to do it here: ruclips.net/video/MYqz41n5Qn4/видео.html
Hi, can a multi-card bought in Madrid be used in Barcelona?
No, it cannot.
Hi. I see on the official transportation website that there is 50% discount on 10-journey trips….this started in February 2023. How does this compare with the tourist cards (e.g., 3 days tourist card) in terms of cost and zones, including 1 trip to the airport from Sol?
Hi Amir, you will have to do the maths to work out what works best for you. The more transport trips you intend to take, the better result you get from the Tourist Ticket, and vice versa.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank-you. Do those 10 journey trip cards allow you to go to the airport?
@@Rima-hh8db yes, but you have to pay an additional surcharge, see this video on the topic: ruclips.net/video/QRjyWKX_HvU/видео.html
Hello Tony, in 10 days we are visiting Madrid, 2 adults. We arrive on Thursday around 1pm, and leave on Monday around 2pm. I plan to buy tourist pass for each for 4 days, zone A. We plan to drive from the airport and back by metro and we are staying near Puente de Valecas, so not in the center. Is this ok or what do you suggest? Thank a lot.
Hello there, given that you will be staying far from the center and will need to use the transport on a daily basis, the investment on the Tourist pass might be quite interesting. Bear in mind the pass is valid per natural day, so the pass you will buy on the first day will only be valid until the end of that day. But even so, considering you get the Multi Card for free and ride the airport metro for free too, it's worth it.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal ok, thank you very much for your prompt reply! And how much time does it take by metro from Puente Vallecas to the city center? Best regards, Maja
@@soncek9783 there is no direct metro to the centre, you will have to use a combination of bus (line 24) and metro. It will take you any time between 30 and 45 minutes.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you so much!!
As described in the video, with a Zone T ticket you can go to Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, which makes a great deal. Can you provide more detailed information how you can go to Toledo, Segovia, Avila using the zone T ticket, please?
You can't use a zone T ticket to reach Segovia or Ávila, and we haven't certainly said so in the video. To go to Toledo, you board the bus and approach your tourist ticket to the ticket reader. Be aware that the Tourist Bus is now valid per calendar days and not per 24-hour period blocks.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal oh..ok. i think that I must have read that you can go to those cities on another website.. Thank you for letting me know.. Btw, all your videos are awesome and very informative.. Just wondering if you could do a video on some day trips you can do from Madrid by yourself... Such information as what and how different types of transportation can be utilized and the cost, etc. will be very helpful..
