The center of Madrid is rather compact and can be explored by foot. Another efficient way of getting around the city is the metro. For information about the Metro of Madrid, see its webpage.

The easiest to get to the hotel from the airport is probably by taxi. Depending on traffic, it takes between 20 and 40 minutes. The fare is a flat rate of 33€. Alternatively, you could take the Airport Express, which costs 5€ and takes you either to Cibeles or to the Atocha Trainstation.
