A unique chance to discover Madrid

Madrid is one of the ten most visited cities in the world and the third most popular in Europe, according to the 2021 ranking by ForwardKeys, which specialises in trends in tourism. It is also the connecting city for many travellers who continue to other destinations.

To encourage tourists to visit Madrid and enjoy it, Iberia and the Madrid City Council have launched Stopover Hola Madrid, a programme designed to encourage connecting passengers on long-haul flights operated by Iberia which allows them to spend up to six nights in the city, without any additional cost in their flight ticket. The programme also offers exclusive discounts on accommodation, transportation, shopping, leisure, dining and cultural activities.

Between July 2019 and December 2022, a total of 27,984 Iberia passengers turned their air connection at Terminal 4 into a tourist stop in the capital, benefiting from the advantages offered by this programme. Travellers from the US were one of the countries who most demanded this service, representing 10.3% of the total.
