What to know about Madrid airport

Your departure airport from Madrid will be the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD). Lucky for you, it's a world-class airline hub that makes for a great start to your vacation.

Opened in 1931, it’s both within the city limits of Madrid – a mere 8 miles from Plaza Mayor de Madrid – and very close to the Iberian Peninsula gateway district of Barajas. A huge airport, especially by European standards, Madrid Airport (MAD) boasts 5 terminals. Don't go looking for T5, though, as they're numbered 1-4 and then 4S!

Public transport to and from Madrid Airport (MAD) makes getting to the inner-city airport nice and easy. Via the subway, you just need to hop on the 8 line (Nuevos Ministerios – Aeropuerto). This line has a stop for Terminals 1, 2, and 3, and then the line terminates at Terminal 4.

On the train, C-1 (blue) and C-10 (green) lines will take you to Terminal 4 from Principe Pío and Villalba stations, respectively. Alternatively, you can catch a bus to the airport. The direct airport routes are the Exprés Aeropuerto 203, 200, 101, and N27 Exprés.

Airports in Paris

As the second most visited city in Europe, it's unsurprising that Paris has 3 main airports. Flying over from Madrid, you’re just as likely to land at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) as you are at Paris-Orly Airport (ORY) or Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA).

Here’s a brief overview of each airport and some essential points about their services. Take note of their locations as this may play into your decision about where to stay in Paris:

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD): 18 miles, which is around 30 minutes to Plaza Mayor Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG): 25 miles, which is around 1 hour to Sainte-Chapelle Paris Orly Airport (ORY): 9 miles, around 30 minutes to Sainte-Chapelle Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA): 66 miles, around 1 hour to Sainte-Chapelle

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG): About 1 hour away (25 miles) from the very central landmark of Sainte-Chapelle, CDG is the main airline hub for the French capital. On the continent, only London Heathrow (LHR) and Istanbul Airport (IST) are busier than this Paris Airport. For your Paris airport transfer options, take the RoissyBus from any terminal for around 1 hour to get to Paris-Opéra, the 351 RATP or 350 RATP busses to get to Nation and Porte de la Chapelle, respectively.
Paris Orly Airport (ORY): A very central Paris airport at just a 30-minute drive (9 miles) to Sainte-Chapelle, ORY is the city’s other main international airport. Get into the city on the Orlyval subway that goes between the terminals to Antony, and then hop on the RER B train to get to Gare du Nord.
Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA): Also branded as “Paris-Beauvais Airport”, this site is around 40 minutes away (66 miles) from Sainte-Chapelle. Mainly hosting budget airlines, the smaller Paris airport is still ranked among the top 10 busiest airports in the country- probably because it's only a 30-minute drive from the buzz of the city center! You’ll want to book a ticket on the shuttle service Aérobus Paris-Beauvais, which runs from Paris Porte Maillot to the Paris airport.

What you will find at each Paris airport

Regardless of which site you fly to, you can expect to find all of the comforts and services that you’d expect from a world-class airport:

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG): Restaurants, bars, cafés, quick food points, duty-free stores, financial services, baggage services, free Wi-Fi, VAT refund points, lounges, free charge points, and top brands like Burberry, Celine, Dior, Chanel, and Gucci.
Paris Orly Airport (ORY): Duty-free shops, cash points, restaurants, cafés, food stores, bars, baggage services, financial services, mail office, free Wi-Fi, free charge points, VAT refund points, lounges, as well as brand stores like Galeries Lafayette and Victoria's Secret.
Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA): General goods store, food store, sandwich café bar, budget airport hotel, free public Wi-Fi, baggage services, cash points, VAT refund points.

Best time to fly from Madrid to Paris

Paris, aka The City of Light, is renowned as one of the most popular cities in the world. The French capital welcomes millions of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tourists every year.

The City of Love is a must-see in February, which is easily one of the best times to fly over. Weather-wise, February will be moderate, with the average temperature in Paris around 42°F.

With advanced bookings, flights won't be too expensive, but the overall vacation might be owing to the fact that lovers from around the world flock to Paris when the Valentine’s Day festivities kick off in full swing. If you fancy celebrating in style, we’d recommend booking well in advance for seats at some of the finest romantic restaurants and attractions!

Most like to go on their travels when the weather is warm and the city’s buzzing with live music, fashion events, and cultural festivals. For the sunnier skies and festivities, consider May, June, or July. May’s average temperature is around 60°F, and in the evenings, museums open for free as a part of La Nuit des Musées.

June gets a little warmer, creeping up to around 62°F, and towards the end of the month, Fête de la Musique sees a whole bunch of talented musicians take to the parks to perform live. The biggest event in Paris each year – outside of the December staples – is Bastille Day. Filled with parade fireworks, it’s not to be missed if you’re enjoying the toasty Parisian weather of 70°F in the middle of July.

Best things to see and do in Paris

Paris is a huge, sprawling, cultural, and exciting city with so much to explore. You could venture to the medieval Wall of Philippe Auguste, dine like a passionate aficionado, or stroll around the arrondissements as though you're a missing extra from the set of Emily in Paris.

While you can tick major points off your bucket list on a Madrid-Paris weekend trip, you could certainly stay for much longer and still discover more! You certainly won't be stuck when it comes to finding things to do.

Of course, the first thing you'll be wanting to do is dig into the world-famous cuisine. When you’re in Paris, you’ll have your choice of dishes from all over the world, often cooked for you by world-class chefs. To truly immerse yourself in Paris, though, we suggest seeking these distinctly French dishes while you’re in the capital:

Cassoulet: A stew of everything, including herbs, vegetables, sausages, beans, and duck.
Crêpes: Sweet thin pancakes with a sweet filling.
Croque Monsieur: Grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
Foie Gras: A buttery delicacy of France made from duck or goose liver.
Gougères: Light and delicious cheese puffs.
Salade Niçoise: A non-vegetarian salad with tuna, egg, and a bunch of greens.
Steak Frites: It’s just steak and French fries, but it’s so much better in Paris.

If you can pull yourself away from the cafés, restaurants, or bars, you’ll probably be looking to tick off a host of famous landmarks and venues. Among these would be:

Cathédrale Notre-Dame
Arc de Triomphe
Luxembourg Gardens
The Louvre Museum
Sainte-Chapelle
Musée de l’Orangerie
Montmartre
The Eiffel Tower

You could choose to tie in some of these must-see attractions via one of the many tours set up around the city. A river cruise looks to be one of the best ways to sit back and take in the city, but then again, if you want to get your steps in, you could sign up for a chocolate, art, legends, wine, or sightseeing walking tour.
