    Toulouse to Madrid by train

    A trip to Toulouse or a trip to Madrid? Why not both? These two cities are a foodie’s dream, with plenty of history, culture and style to spare. Renfe-SNCF trains will get you from Toulouse to Madrid in around seven hours. Take in the history of Toulouse, starting at Saint-Sernin Basilica, a UNESCO site, and unique Church of the Jacobins. The city even has its own Japanese garden and a cruise under Pont Neuf, its oldest bridge, is the perfect way to round up your trip. Just remember to fuel your adventure with the amazing cuisine of the area, from local sausages to delicious duck. Hungry for more? Then head to Madrid.

    Churros, paella, history, art and sports, whatever you have an appetite for, the Spanish capital can provide! The Royal Palace of Madrid is a must-see, and boasts 2000 rooms, or if you prefer your regal surroundings to be a bit greener, El Retiro Park is a beautiful park with ornate structures and a boating lake.

    How do I find cheap train tickets from Toulouse to Madrid?

    If you’re planning a trip to Europe soon, our Trainline team of experts have put together some tips to help you find cheap tickets. Booking on the day in Europe is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or travel class.

    1. Book in advance

    The price of train tickets from Toulouse to Madrid starts at $86.56§ one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Most train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months ahead of time, so if you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find cheaper tickets.

    2. Be flexible with your travel times

    If you can, consider traveling outside of 'peak hours' (generally between 06:00 - 10:00 and 15:00 - 19:00 on weekdays) as lots of trains companies increase their ticket prices during these commuter times.

    3. Buy a rail pass

    If you're visiting multiple locations on your trip, buying a rail pass can be cheaper than buying individual tickets. We're official retailers of Eurail Passes that are valid for travel in one country or multiple countries across Europe.

    4. Choose a slower or connecting train

    On some busier routes, you might have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have some extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare.

    5. Look out for train ticket sales and deals

    Many train companies in Europe will often run sales and offers on tickets throughout the year, so keep an eye out!

    For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

    §Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.
