Sol is a major transfer point in this part of Madrid, with connections to lines 1, 2 and 3 on the Metro but also lines C-3 and C-4 of the Cercanias. It is in tariff zone A.
For such an old station (the first line opened in 1919), it is surprisingly easy to navigate with lots of stairs and lots of signs.
There are four entrances to the station, which isn't nearly enough considering that the above ground Plaza de Sol is quite the hangout and a very busy part of Madrid.
On Line 1, it is between Tirso de Molina and Gran Via, on Line 2, between Ópera and Sevilla, and on Line 3, between Callao and Lavapiés. There is a lift to the ticketing level and another to street level where there are stops for a handful of bus lines. read more
