Madrid Metro

The city of Madrid features the second largest subway system in Europe, after the London’s one. It is among the 10 longest all over the world as well. It is surprisingly as the city of Madrid is the twenty fifth most populous metropolitan area in the Europe, consisting of approximately 6 million people!

The range of renovations made the subway system of Madrid longer, increasing its length to about 317 kilometers, what automatically made it to be the third longest metropolitan system, after New York and Moscow. The metro system consists of 316 stations, set on 12 lines.

Moreover, this metropolitan system is proclaimed to be the second fastest one in the whole world, exceeded only by the Seoul Metro.

The metro is operated by its own company, controlled by the Department of Public Works, City Planning, and Transportation of the autonomous community of Madrid.

The system of Madrid’s subway may be divided into two networks: the small-profile network and the large-profile network. The small-profile network includes lines 1-5 and 11. Most stations are located not deeper than 20 meters below street level and the average distance between the stations is about 630 meters.

The large-profile network includes the lines 6-10 and 12, where the average station distance is about 850 meters.

In any case, it is highly advisable to buy a map of the subway, because it is a really huge one, so if not you may get lost.

The Madrid Metro is open between 6 a.m. and 1.30 a.m. Besides the tickets there are ride passes, what will be even more convenient if you are going to use the subway system quite often.
