Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport has four terminals. From the airport, you can reach Alcalá de Henares by public transportation.

Bus line 824 provides a direct connection from Terminals 1, 2, and 3 of Barajas Airport to Alcalá de Henares. If your flight arrives at Terminal 4 (T4), you can use the airport’s free shuttle bus service to transfer to Terminals 1, 2 or 3. The shuttle operates 24 hours a day and connects all airport terminals. During the day, buses run approximately every 5 minutes. Follow the signs for “Shuttle Bus” after leaving the arrivals area. The journey from T4 to T1–T3 usually takes around 15–20 minutes.
