Train Passes and prepaid train tickets can be bought as a Eurail Pass, the best way to get around Europe.

The Madrid Atocha Train Station is laid out more like an airport terminal than what one thinks of as an old- style train station. This very logical layout isn’t overly confusing at all.

In Madrid, there are two main train stations, the Atocha station just south of the center of Madrid and a smaller station to the north, Chamartin. The Atocha station is easily reached by the Metro via the Atocha RENFE Metro station.

The Atocha station is a modern facility. It has a large atrium with palm trees flanked by offices. On one end of the atrium (upper floor) is the entrance to the train bays.

Some, but not all, ticket agents at the Madrid train station speak English. At the information counter, you should find an English speaking attendant. Most of the signs in the Madrid Train Station are dual English/Spanish.

For long-distance and regional trains, once you have your tickets you can check which platform (VIA) your train will be leaving from by using the long, gray, Arrivals and Departures board in the atrium.
