Tourist Travel Pass

The Tourist Ticket (also known as the Tourist Travel Pass) can be used on all types of public transport in the Region of Madrid. Allowing you to take unlimited trips within your chosen timeframe, it is a practical and inexpensive way to get around Madrid.

Passes are valid for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7 days and for two zones (A and T).

Are you going to stay in the city centre and do you plan to get around there? Then Zone A is the right option for you since it covers these services:

• Use of the Metro in zone A (City of Madrid) – including the 3€ airport supplement,
• All blue EMT city buses (except the yellow Airport Express shuttle),
• Renfe Cercanías commuter trains covering zones 0 and A,
• Metro Ligero light rail train ML1.

Are you going to be in Madrid for several days and are also planning to visit the surrounding area? Then Zone T is the right option for you, since it covers:

• The entire Metro network.
• All blue city buses (except the Airport Express shuttle) and the green intercity buses in the Region of Madrid, including services to Guadalajara and Toledo. This pass encompasses all 8 zones, from A to E2 (6 zones in the Region of Madrid and 2 in Castilla La Mancha).
• All Renfe Cercanías commuter trains (zones 0, A, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2).
• Metro Ligero light rail trains ML1, ML2 and ML3, and the ML4 Parla tramway.

Zone T is the recommended option if you’re planning on making day trips to places like El Escorial, Aranjuez or Alcalá de Henares.

IMPORTANT: It cannot be used on high-speed trains (including the AVE to Guadalajara and the Avant to Toledo) nor Renfe Operadora regional trains. It is also not valid on Tourist Trains.
