- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €30 - €40. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Metered fares to central Madrid typically run 30-40 euros daytime. Refuse any driver who approaches you inside the terminal without a meter.
- Best alternative: Metro Line 8 to Nuevos Ministerios, or the official airport express bus to Atocha and Cibeles (€5)
- Validate your ticket at the yellow machines at station entrances before boarding. Bus tickets are validated on board. Failure to validate counts as travelling without a ticket. Fine without a valid ticket: €100.
- Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated. Round up in bars and cafes, leave 5-10% in restaurants if service was good. Taxi drivers appreciate rounding up.
- Some restaurants add cover or bread charges (pan y cubierto) not shown on the menu. Ask if menu prices include these before ordering. Check the bill for added items.
- Always select to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion. Prefer ATMs attached to bank branches. Independent ATMs in tourist areas often charge high fees; card fees are set by your home bank.
