You will depart from Terminal 2. For a smooth experience, ensure you allow at least an hour and a half for processing, although the airport’s 75 check-in counters and security checks are highly efficient. While you wait, you can access paid-for Wi-Fi, which is complimentary for Business and First Class passengers in the VIP lounge. For refreshments, snack bars and a restaurant in the domestic terminal area offer light and more substantial meals. You can also browse the Duty Free outlets and other retail vendors for travel essentials and souvenirs before you board your flight.
Madrid is Spain's energetic capital, a major centre of European culture, art, music and dance.
Discover the city's cosmopolitan vibe and rich artistic heritage. Madrid is famous for its world-class art collections, including the renowned "Museum Triangle" which houses some of the most important galleries in Europe. At the very heart of the city, Puerta del Sol is a bustling piazza and the central transport hub that hosts many public festivals throughout the year. The surrounding architecture showcases a superb blend of Moorish, Renaissance and Gothic influences. Be sure to explore the vast Palacio Real, or Royal Palace, which, while the official residence of the King, is now mainly used for ceremonial duties. A tour through its magnificent galleries will give you a deeper understanding of centuries of Spanish history.
