Transportation

From the Madrid's international airport Barajas to Campus

From the Madrid's international airport Barajas, there is the following option to go to the Universidad Complutence de Madrid.

Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid. It is the public transportation system in Madrid. If you have a phone in your hands with data access, we recommend you to look for a suited connection using some route-finder (e.g. google-maps), which may vary depending on several circumstances. Nevertheless the fastest combinations are usually:
- Subway-Line 8 until Nuevos Ministerios > Subway-Line 6 until Moncloa > Blue Bus (EMT) route A until Campus Somosaguas of Universidad Complutense (aprox. transfer duration less than 1h 20 min. You need to buy a Subway ticket in Barajas and a bus ticket in Moncloa, direct in the )
- If you arrive at Terminal 4 (T4) it may be convenient to take: Local train (Cercanias Renfe) C1 until Chamartin > Subway-Line 10 until Colonia Jardín > Light train (Metro ligero) ML2 until Campus de Somosaguas (prox. transfer duration less than 1h 20 min, but the frequency of the local train is 15-20 min. You need to buy a combi ticket at Barajas airport, which cover the train and subway connections).
In case you are traveling with some partner it may be convenient to use some transfer service (as it can be my-transfers or get-transfers) through which you may pre-arrange the transfer for the day of your arrival and the day of return. In case the transfer is arranged from Airport to Campus Somosaguas in both directions, the cost may be below 80 eur for 4 passengers and the duration of the transfer below 30 min. If the round-trip transfer is pre-arranged to Moncloa (nearby is where the recommended accommodations are located) the duration may be similar.
Of course, you can also use a regular taxi or other shared transport options (Uber, Cabify). The cost may be around 35-40 eur and the transfer duration is below 30 min.

From Madrid city center to campus

From the city quartier of Moncloa, where the recommended accommodations are located, the best option to the conference venue is using Blue Bus (EMT) route A until Campus Somosaguas of Universidad Complutense (the transfer last about 15 min, for which you need a bus ticket). If you are lodged in other quartiers in city center, the more convenient will usually be arriving to Moncloa (using bus or subway).

If you wish a more adventurous arrival, you can ask about how to cross the river and get across the large and beautiful city park of Casa de Campo, painted in the famous Goya’s masterpiece “La Pradera de San Isidro”. We can provide you information during the conference.

Moving in the Campus

When you are in Campus Somosaguas of Universidad Complutense de Madrid, you may go to the Faculty of Politics.
