Burgos to Madrid Route Overview

The Burgos to Madrid route uses the high-speed line through the Castilian plateau, reducing what was once a much longer classic-line trip into a ride of about 90 minutes on the fastest services. A distinctive feature is the contrast between Burgos' northern Meseta setting and the Guadarrama mountain approach before the train reaches Madrid Chamartin. AVE trains require a reserved seat, while Alvia tickets are also issued for a specific train and seat. Security screening is carried out before boarding at Spanish long-distance stations, so arriving at the platform area a little early is sensible.

The Burgos to Madrid train links Burgos Rosa Manzano with Madrid Chamartin in as little as 1 hour 33 minutes, with no airport transfer on either end. Intercity buses between Burgos and Madrid commonly take about 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes depending on stops and terminal. Flying is not a practical city-pair option for Burgos to Madrid because Burgos has no regular air service to Madrid. Rail also has a lower carbon footprint than driving or flying on comparable Spanish intercity routes.
