Where to stay for Medusa Winter Blizzard 2026
If you're coming from outside Madrid, think about the 6am trip back rather than the way there: the closer you sleep to IFEMA or metro line 8, the shorter that ride will be.
Around IFEMA and Campo de las Naciones
The most practical option for a short trip back after the session.
Barajas and the airport area
Very close to the venue and well connected by metro line 8.
Central Madrid
The biggest hotel supply, about 20 minutes by car. At 6am, a just-opened metro or a shared car.
