About Metro Line 8

Metro Line 8 (pink line) runs from Nuevos Ministerios in central Madrid directly to both airport stations: Aeropuerto T1-T2-T3 and Aeropuerto T4. This is one of the fastest and most convenient ways to reach the airport from the city center.

At Nuevos Ministerios, you can connect to other metro lines (6 and 10) as well as Cercanías suburban trains, making it accessible from almost anywhere in Madrid.

Airport Supplement Required

An additional airport supplement of €3 is required when traveling to or from the airport stations. This is added automatically when you purchase a single ticket or use a rechargeable transport card. The supplement applies only once per journey, regardless of connections.
