Practical tips

Madrid's white taxis with the red diagonal stripe are simple to hail on the street — just raise a hand when you see the green rooftop light — and this remains the everyday way locals get around rather than something aimed only at tourists. Uber, Cabify, and Bolt all operate normally here as licensed VTC services, and unlike neighboring Catalonia, Madrid's regional government hasn't moved to restrict them. The genuinely useful thing to know is that Adolfo Suárez–Barajas Airport has an official flat fare covering any trip between the airport and destinations inside the M-30 ring road, so a ride into central Madrid costs the same fixed amount any time of day with no meter, luggage charge, or booking surcharge. Tipping isn't expected, though rounding up to the nearest euro for a short ride, or adding a bit more for a longer one, is a normal courtesy.
