Madrid Metro Card

Wondering how to get around the Community of Madrid? Smart Insiders is here to give tips on securing a Metro Card. Making sure that you have an Abono (30-day Metro Card) is important for you to safely and conveniently move around the city. We are here to make the process easier. If you come to our office we will happily help you with securing your card. Read below to see what options are available for you.

Check out our blog post, Abono Transporte Madrid: Call It Commuting, to read more about what options are available to you.

Option 1

We make the appointment for you!

We know many students come to Madrid around August / September and January / February which is a very busy time at the metro offices. Because of this, it can make it hard to obtain an appointment for you to get your card. Leave all of the hassles of making an appointment to us. We’ll give you all the information about what you need for your appointment to make it fast, easy, and stress-free.

Option 2

We get your card for you!

The second option is that we will get your metro card for you. You will need to apply for your metro card online and have it sent to our office. Once it’s ready you can pick it up, but keep in mind the process takes about ten days. We recommend applying for it before you travel to Spain so it will be ready by the time you arrive.
