Take the pink line to Nuevos Ministerios, and then the Red line to Sol. It's 90 minutes, tops, go and return. Tickets go for 4.5?. You can also take a train that runs less frequently, but leaves you at the Atocha train station where you can walk to el Museo del Prado or even Sol. I don't know how much it is, but it should be pretty much the same. What can be done during this time? > You can walk the old city, you can go to the Reina Sof?a (modern art, Gernika, that kind of things, it's 5 minutes away from Atocha), you can walk to Thyssen-Bornemisza (more comprehensive, almost no lines, 2 hours for a great panorama of art), you can eat a fried squid sandwich in Plaza Mayor, anything that tickles your fancy. Madrid is a big city, great for walking, great for shopping... > Can I get in the city and back on time? > (I've never been to Madrid.) > Sure you can. If you've never been, probably the best is to check timetables and take either train or metro and then walk around Sol, Plaza Mayor, old quarter, and so on. Whatever you like (science, army, archaeology, Real Madrid) you can go there and be back in time. Please remember that you'll have to go through customs, I really have no idea how much it will take you, it's usually a breeze for me. Planes from israil also arrive to T4S, and you have to take a train to the main terminal, T4, which takes ~ 15 mins. The the plane to Granada takes usually from T4 and usually from one of the ends, that's 10 minutes from security, and security also takes a while... All in all, 90-120 minutes from boarding gate and back is a reasonable amount, leaving you more than 3 hours to visit Madrid.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I'm checking on the schedule and underground takes 49 minutes and you have to stop at Callao using the blue line, not the red one. Callao is 100 meters away from Sol, anyway. Train takes less, anyway, even less so to Atocha, since you don't need to transfer. Walking from Atocha to Sol takes ~ 20 minutes, it's a couple of kilometers.
