One way: 1,50 €

10 trips: 7,20 €

 Underground Machine

You must buy the underground/tram tickets in a machine. The first time you buy a trip (single trip or 10 trips), the machine gives you a cardboard ticket. Each cardboard ticket costs 1€.  Once you finish the trip, you can recharge the ticket as many times as you need using the same machines you used to buy the ticket. If you buy a ticket for one way, you can only recharge one way trips, if you buy a ticket of 10 trips, you can only recharge 10 trips (no single ones). Note that the ticket used to leave the airport (Zone D) must not be used in the city center (Zone A). See map of zones for more details. 

Please, before taking the tram, you must validate your ticket in the machine you can find at the tram station. To validate the ticket you must approach the ticket to the validation machine (a red circle). This will show how many trips your ticket remains in a small display. Please, do not validate the ticket again if you come from the underground in the same trip. Changes between undergrounds or between underground and tram are the same trip.
