BARAJAS AIRPORT AREA
The area of the
airport includes (somewhat obviously)
the airport, and the IFEMA trade fair grounds at the Campo de Las
Naciones. There are plenty of
hotels in this area that make good
choices for travelers who prefer to
be near the airport, or whose main reason to stay in Madrid is to attend
a trade fair.
We have extensive information on getting
to and from the airport; and there is a map showing the area.
Note
that the metro (line 8) which now reaches the airport
also stops at the Campo de Las Naciones.
IFEMA FAIRGROUND
FITUR (the International Tourism Fair), ARCO (the International Contemporary Art Fair) and SIMO (the International IT, Multimedia and Communications Fair) are just three examples of the international fairs that come together each year in Madrid, IFEMA is a world's meeting point for professionals within their respective sectors. The city's exceptional range of facilities and infrastructure -Spain's largest trade showgrounds, one of the most important in Europe-, it's vast hotel accomodation possibilities and an outstanding range of cultural and leisure attractions ensure that business events organised and held in Madrid will be a success.
The possibilities are endless, as are the options awaiting you after the event: 79 museums, 87 galleries, 60 theatres, 49 cinemas, thousands of shops and restaurants, hundreds of venues to enjoy the city's nightlife...
