Getting to Legends: The Home of Football Madrid

Bonus tip: If you plan to visit other city attractions the same day, Legends: The Home of Football Madrid is perfectly placed for sightseeing. The Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and Gran Vía are all close by. Grab your entradas online for quick entry and head out to explore the city right after.

By metro

  • Take Line 1, 2, or 3 to Sol Station—it’s the closest metro stop, literally a 2-minute walk from the entrance.
  • From the metro, take Puerta del Sol, and you’ll see signs pointing to the museum.

By bus

  • Madrid city buses stop all around Puerta del Sol—look for lines 3, 50, 51, 52, 53, or 150.

By train

  • If you’re coming from outside Madrid, get off at Madrid Sol Cercanías (local train), which is directly connected to Sol metro.

By car/taxi

  • Driving is not recommended—central Madrid traffic is busy, and parking is expensive and scarce. If you must drive, use public parking garages near Plaza Mayor or Calle de Sevilla.
  • Taxis and ride shares (Uber, Cabify, Bolt) can drop you off at the Puerta del Sol square.

On foot

  • If you’re already in central Madrid, just walk—most major sites are less than a 10-minute stroll from Legends: The Home of Football Madrid.
