If you have a few hours layover at Madrid Airport (MAD), it is possible to visit the centre of Madrid or the neighbouring town of Alcalá de Henares, or the even closer town of Torrejón de Ardoz and its city museum with free admission.
Hello, I would like to ask you, I am arriving by Ryanair to Madrid then I will continue with Ryanair to Fez Sais. Will I then be staying at terminal 1? And do you think 2:15 will be enough for me to change planes? Thank you
Hello, yes, all Ryanair flights depart from Terminal 1.
The largest distances between departure gates are roughly 30 minutes transfer + passport control, so the net transfer time can be as long as 45 minutes. If you fly with checked baggage, then even longer, over an hour: https://www.cestujlevne.com/leti...d/terminal
Unless the first flight is delayed, you can probably make the connection.
They have it nicely described on their website. https://www.aena.es/en/adolfo-su...ights.html
