Going to see Bad Bunny at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano will be an urban pilgrimage that will take place over 10 days: tens of thousands of people entering and exiting at the same time one of Madrid’s largest and best-connected stadiums. Planning your trip there (and back) carefully is almost as important as getting a ticket.
The Riyadh Air Metropolitano (formerly Wanda/Cívitas) is located in northeast Madrid, in the San Blas-Canillejas district, next to the M-40 and near the airport and IFEMA. It is the home stadium of Atlético de Madrid, with a capacity of approximately 70,460, and will serve as Bad Bunny’s “home base” in Madrid during his residency in May and June 2026.
By metro: the top choice for concerts
The metro is the easiest and most recommended way to get to the concerts.
Key points:
- Stop: Estadio Metropolitano (Line 7, the orange line), right in front of the stadium.
- Alternatives on foot: you can also get off at Las Rosas or Canillejas (line 7 and line 5, respectively) and walk for a few minutes.
From downtown, the most common route is to transfer to Line 7 at stations like Avenida de América, Gregorio Marañón, or Canal, and continue to Estadio Metropolitano. On days of major events (such as Bad Bunny concerts), Metro de Madrid usually adds extra trains and staff to Line 7, but it’s still a good idea to leave early because lines form both on the way there and, especially, on the way back.
If you want to go by bus, there are several EMT lines connecting the stadium to different areas of Madrid, and they’re a good alternative if you live in nearby neighborhoods or if the metro is very crowded.
The lines that stop near the Riyadh Air Metropolitano include, among others, the 28, 38, 48, 140, 153, 167, the E2 express, and the N5 and N6 night buses. These buses connect to locations such as Manuel Becerra, Ciudad Lineal, Canillejas, and Plaza de Castilla, as well as other areas in eastern Madrid.
Keep in mind that surface traffic gets quite congested before and after the concert, so the bus may be slower than the metro, although in return it’s usually less stressful than a train car packed to the brim.
Commuter train + metro: an option for those coming from outside the city
If you’re coming from another city or the metropolitan area, you can combine the Cercanías commuter train and the metro.
The usual recommendation is to get off at Coslada station (C-2 or C-7 on the Cercanías), then transfer to Metro Line 7 at Coslada Central and get off at Estadio Metropolitano, two stops later.
This route is designed for those arriving from the Corredor del Henares (Alcalá, Torrejón, etc.) or from other stations connected to those lines.
By car: easy to get there, difficult to leave
The stadium is right next to the M-40 and has clear access from the M-40, the M-14 (airport), and the A-2, so getting there by car is very easy… finding a spot nearby and leaving after the concert is another matter.
The main access points are via the M-40 (nearby exits), Avenida de Luis Aragonés, and Avenida de Arcentales. The stadium parking lot has about 4,000 spaces (1,000 indoor and 3,000 outdoor), but they fill up quickly during large events.
Both the City Council and the club itself recommend parking in more distant areas and completing the journey on foot or by public transportation to avoid the traffic jams that form in the immediate vicinity once the show ends. For Bad Bunny’s concerts, with ten dates scheduled and tens of thousands of attendees each night, it’s reasonable to expect major gridlock if everyone decides to drive.
