Bus Services at Madrid Airport

EMT

The airport is connected to the city of Madrid by regular public bus services provided by EMT (Madrid Municipal Transport Company): bus 200 operates as a whole line, dropping passengers off at the departures of terminals 1, 2, and 4, and then picking them up in the opposite order at the arrivals.

From Plaza Cibeles in the heart of Madrid to Plaza de los Hermanos Falcó y Alvarez de Toledo in Barajas, about 400 meters from the airport via an elevated walkway, is the N4 public night bus route provided by EMT.
