Know before you go 🧳
The practical stuff for Madrid — check these before you book and pack.
Entry & passport
- Schengen pattern — Madrid is in the Schengen Area: many passports get up to 90 days visa-free for short stays, but rules vary by nationality.
- Check your visa — Verify visa and entry requirements for your passport on official sources (Spain consulate, Spanish immigration site or IATA Travel Centre) before booking.
- Passport validity — Rule of thumb: many countries want passports valid for at least 3–6 months beyond your planned departure; confirm Spain's requirement for your passport.
- Return/onward proof — Border agents may ask for a return or onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds—have documentation available.
Health & safety
- Routine vaccines — Ensure routine vaccinations are up to date (MMR, tetanus, etc.).
- Check required vaccines — Vaccine recommendations and entry-related health rules can change; check official health ministry or WHO guidance for current advice.
- Travel insurance — Carry travel health insurance with medical evacuation/repatriation coverage; EU health insurance card (EHIC/GHIC) offers limited public care for some nationalities.
- Local medical care — Pharmacies are widely available; for non-urgent issues look for farmacia signs and note opening hours vary by neighborhood.
Money & tipping
- Currency code — Currency: Euro (EUR).
- Cards & ATMs — Cards widely accepted; have some cash for small shops, markets and tapas bars. Notify your bank of travel to avoid holds.
- Tipping norm — Tipping is modest: 5–10% in restaurants for good service, round up taxi fares and leave small change for cafe/coffee.
- Cash safety — Use ATMs in bank branches or malls; watch for shoulder-surfing and keep cards secure.
Connectivity & power
- Plug & voltage — Plugs: Type C and F (two round pins). Voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz. Bring an adapter and ensure devices support 230 V.
- Mobile & eSIMs — Spanish SIMs are available at airport kiosks and shops; consider a local prepaid plan or eSIM for data if you need continuous coverage.
- Wi‑Fi availability — Free Wi‑Fi is common in hotels, cafes and many public spaces, but speeds vary—use a VPN for sensitive activities on public networks.
Local customs & etiquette
- Meal times — Spanish dining times are later than some countries—lunch around 14:00 and dinner often 21:00 or later in Madrid.
- Personal space — Spanish communication is generally warm and expressive; a light cheek kiss is common among acquaintances—mirror local cues.
- Dress & behaviour — Casual-smart dress is fine for most places; avoid loud behaviour on public transport and respect local religious sites' modesty rules.
Climate & packing
- Best months — Best times: spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) for pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.
- Summer heat — July–August can be very hot and dry; pack sun protection, light clothing and a water bottle. Plan indoor breaks during peak heat.
- Winter note — Winters are mild but can be chilly at night—bring a warm layer and a light waterproof for rainy days in late autumn/early spring.
Language & useful phrases
- Official language — Spanish (Castilian) is the official language in Madrid.
- Polite basics — Useful: "Hola" (Hello), "Por favor" (Please), "Gracias" (Thank you), "Perdón/Disculpe" (Excuse me).
- Helpful phrase — Ask for help: "¿Habla inglés?" (Do you speak English?) — many people in tourist areas do, but learning basic Spanish helps.
Airport & local transit
- Main airport — Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas (MAD) is the main airport serving Madrid.
- To city center — Options from MAD: metro (Line 8), express train (Cercanías), airport buses and taxis—travel time typically 20–40 minutes depending on mode and traffic.
- Public transit tips — Madrid's metro and buses are extensive; buy a multi-day tourist card or use contactless payment for convenience. Validate tickets on board where required.
- Emergency number — Emergency services: 112 for police, fire and medical emergencies across Spain.
General guidance, not legal advice — entry and health rules depend on your passport and change often. Verify with official sources before you fly.
