Local Tips
Use Metro line 8 for quick city access; many local restaurants offer daily 'menú del día' for lunch deals. Staying near the airport is great for early flights.
Cultural Etiquette
Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory (round up or leave small change). Dress is casual but neat; greet shopkeepers and locals with a polite 'hola'.
Safety Warnings
Barajas is generally very safe, but as near all airports, keep an eye on your belongings for occasional pickpocketing, especially at transport hubs.
Hidden Gems
Don't miss Parque Juan Carlos I's lakes and sculptures, or the tranquil Casco Antiguo plazas hidden away from airport bustle.
