Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas International Airport, IATA MAD · 12 km from Puerta del Sol · 15 km from Retiro Park.
Madrid-Barajas is Spain's largest airport, spread across four terminals. Terminals T1, T2, and T3 are connected and handle most European low-cost and charter carriers, while the award-winning T4 (designed by Richard Rogers and Antonio Lamela) serves Iberia, British Airways, and their oneworld partners. A free shuttle bus connects T4 to T1-T3 in around 12 minutes, so factor that in if you are connecting between terminals.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |

| Metro (Line 8) | EUR 5 flat fare (airport supplement included) | 30-40 min to Nuevos Ministerios, city centre |

Singapore Travel Agent LicenceTA04059Flying to Madrid rewards the traveller who books early but does not panic. Fares from London or Paris are genuinely competitive year-round, with the sweet spot sitting in March-April and October-November when the weather is good and the crowds have thinned. Summer fares spike hard, particularly in July and August. The city suits culture hunters, food obsessives, and anyone who considers a 10pm dinner reservation perfectly reasonable.
January is the quiet secret here: fares average USD 55, while July, August and December punish anyone who waited too long, climbing 40-60% above average. That Richard Rogers-designed T4 is worth arriving early for on its own merits, though budget travellers landing at T1-T3 should allow the 12-minute shuttle if connecting. Ranked 10th by Condé Nast Traveller, Madrid backs up its late-night dinner reputation with the Prado and Retiro Park within easy walking distance. Book 10-12 weeks ahead and you will spend your money on jamón, not airfares.
