It is a route that connects two royal capitals, each with its own distinct rhythm and charm. At Ready2Go, we are dedicated to making this connection as smooth as possible for our Norwegian clients.

Why Choose Ready2Go for Your Madrid Trip?
Madrid is a major European hub, and there are many ways to book a ticket. However, relying on impersonal international search engines often leads to hidden costs and a lack of support.

The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Madrid (MAD)
The flight to Madrid transports you to the geographical center of Spain, offering a gateway to the entire country.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As one of Europe’s most efficient airports, OSL ensures a stress-free start. We recommend taking the Flytoget airport express to ensure you arrive with plenty of time to enjoy the shops and dining before boarding.
- Flight Duration: A direct flight from Oslo to Madrid typically takes around 3 hours and 40 minutes. It is a comfortable medium-haul flight that crosses the North Sea and France before landing on the Spanish plateau.
- Arrival in Madrid: You will land at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD). It is one of the largest airports in Europe, known for its stunning architecture. Despite its size, it is well-organized, and moving from the gate to the exit is generally efficient.
Destination Focus: Madrid
Unlike the coastal resorts of Spain, Madrid offers a sophisticated urban energy that is perfect for culture seekers and city explorers.
- A Cultural Powerhouse: Madrid is home to the "Golden Triangle of Art"—the Prado, the Reina Sofía, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza. For art lovers, this city is unrivaled.
- Green Spaces: Despite being a bustling metropolis, Madrid is incredibly green. The El Retiro Park offers a massive, manicured oasis in the city center, perfect for a boat ride on the lake or a shaded walk, offering a stark but pleasant contrast to the Norwegian forests.
- Business Hub: As the capital, Madrid is the economic engine of Spain. For our corporate travelers, we help secure flights that align with Spanish business hours, ensuring you arrive ready for your meetings in the Cuatro Torres business district.
Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Transport from Barajas: The airport is incredibly well-connected to the city. The Metro (Line 8) takes you directly to Nuevos Ministerios in the business center in roughly 15 minutes. Alternatively, the Cercanías train offers a fast link to Atocha and Sol stations.
- The Rhythm of the Day: Be prepared for a shift in schedule. In Madrid, lunch is typically eaten between 14:00 and 15:30, and dinner rarely starts before 21:00. Adjusting your meal times will help you sync with the local culture.
- Climate Awareness: Madrid has a continental climate. Summers can be intensely hot, often exceeding 35°C, while winters can be surprisingly crisp and cold, not unlike a mild Norwegian autumn. Pack accordingly based on the season.
- Language: While English is spoken in business circles and major tourist areas, knowing a few phrases in Spanish is highly appreciated by the locals and can enhance your service experience.
