MADRID METRO
Welcome to all you need to know about the Safe, Modern and Comfortable Madrid metro system. Madrid is not only the third largest capital in the EU (after London and Berlin) but it also has the third largest underground train network in europe, and the sixth largest underground system in the world. Twelve dedicated lines criss cross the city covering almost any destination you could wish to think of. With economic prices this is surely the cheapest way to move around Madrid. In 2007 a number of new stations and extensions to various lines will mean a faster and simpler cross city journey. Opening times are from 0600 until 0200 daily.
