The second route covers the most modern parts of Madrid, for example, The Santiago Bernabéu , the elegant Calle Serrano , Nuevos Ministerios and the bullfighting ring in Ventas .

Madrid’s commuter rail service is called Madrid Cercanías and it connects various parts of the city and the main towns in the Community of Madrid and other nearby provinces.

Taxis in Madrid are a great option, especially when travelling at night, if you are in a hurry or if you are carrying too many bags. Nonetheless, even though the tariffs are less expensive than in other major European cities, this means of transportation is still a little expensive.
