17–21 min

The EUR 3.00 airport supplement is twice the ordinary fare, and it is charged on your way OUT, not in — a EUR 1.50 single bought at the airport machine is not enough on its own.

From Terminal 4 the single ticket costs EUR 1.70 rather than EUR 1.50, one station-band up: EUR 4.70 with the supplement, not EUR 4.50.

The two airport stations are not next to each other — Aeropuerto T1-T2-T3 and Aeropuerto T4 sit either side of Barajas village, six minutes apart by train.

Bus 200 leaves the same terminals for EUR 1.50 with no supplement at all, but no journey time is published for it, so it is not ranked here.

For Puerta del Sol itself, ride lines 10 and 1 onward from here on the same ticket, or take the direct chain option instead.

Two changes: line 8 to line 10 at Nuevos Ministerios, then line 10 to line 1 at Tribunal. The ride time above is the three trains only — finding the platform at each change is not counted.

From Terminal 4 the single ticket costs EUR 1.70 rather than EUR 1.50, one station-band up: EUR 4.70 with the supplement, not EUR 4.50.

The EUR 3.00 airport supplement is charged on your way OUT at Sol, not when you board — a plain EUR 1.50-1.70 single bought at the airport machine is not enough on its own.

The other way to Nuevos Ministerios, via line 6 to Cuatro Caminos then line 1, is about three minutes slower — this route is quicker.
