ALL ABOUT MADRID METRO | Vlog 2019

If you know me, you know I hate driving with a passion. I also hate owning a car even more. While driving may be a necessity in some places, I can assure you, in Madrid - it’s not.

The Madrid Metro was originally established in 1919 and had only 8 stations. Here we are, 100 years later, and the Metro now reaches 12 municipalities in Madrid, where over 75 percent of the residents live less than 600 meters away from a station and has over 2.3 million people traveling daily!

If you’re coming to visit Madrid, studying abroad, or simply staying for an extended period of time, you definitely want to get your hands on an ‘Abono’ ASAP. If you’d benefit from having a monthly card which gives you full access to all forms of Madrid public transportation for 30 days, the price depends on your age and what zone of the city you want access to. The “normal” card is for ages 26-64 and covers Zone A (city center), for the price of 54,60€ per month. The “youth” card, which is ages 26 and under, is priced at 20€ for ALL zones.

If it’s your first time getting a monthly unlimited Metro card, you need to set up an appointment first. Visit tarjetatransportepublico.crtm.es and click Solicitud Tarjeta Transporte Público. Then select which card you wish to obtain and pick a metro office near you, date, and time. On the day of your appointment, bring the three required documents and your metro card will be given to you by the time you’re finished.
▹
The three required documents you will need to get your metro card are:
• Application document
• A standard passport sized photo (which you can get at the photo booths in most metro stations, including Sol)
• An original copy of either your, EU ID, Spanish residency card, or passport
