The meeting will take place at CIEMAT. We recommend that you book your accommodation in the Moncloa area (see “Accommodation” below). Next, we give directions to reach the Moncloa area and CIEMAT from the airport. We also give directions to arrive at CIEMAT from hotels in the Moncloa area.
Metro Line 8 (pink) has two stations at Madrid-Barajas airport (the full name is “Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas airport”), “Aeropuerto T1-T2-T3” and “Aeropuerto T4”, for the different terminals. The terminals are also connected by shuttle.
To reach the Moncloa area from the airport by metro, you have to leave metro Line 8 at “Nuevos Ministerios” station and change to Line 6 (gray) to “Moncloa” station.

Taxis can be taken just outside the T4 and T1-T2-T3 airport arrivals halls and cost 30€ (flat rate) to the city center. Journey time is about 30 minutes from the airport.ÂÂ
