How to get to DIE

DIE is located at ETSIT (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación). Next, you can find some ways of getting here using several transportation means.

By Metro

The nearest underground station is Ciudad Universitaria. From here, there is a 10-15 minutes walk to ETSIT. You can also take a bus, as explained below. By bus Moncloa, Cuatro Caminos and Ciudad Universitaria are the main points from which you can reach ETSIT by bus. These places are also important underground stations. From Ciudad Universitaria Lines G and U: The bus stop is located in Avda. Complutense, just in the way out from the Metro station. Line 82: It uses the same bus stop. From Moncloa Line 82: There are two bus stops. One of them is located at Meléndez Valdés street, and the other just facing the main Moncloa underground entrance. From Cuatro Caminos Line F: The bus stop is located almost in the middle of this curious square (crossroads with one elevated road) All these lines have a stop just at ETSIT. Ask the driver for the "Teleco" stop.

By taxi

If you take a taxi, don't tell the driver that you go to "the University", since there are several Universities in Madrid with all the schools and departments "conveniently" disseminated throughout the city. You should indicate that ETSIT ("Escuela de Ingenieros de Telecomunicacion" or "Escuela de Teleco", in Spanish) is located at the end of "El Paraninfo" at Ciudad Universitaria, facing the sport fields, a couple of blocks beyond the "ugly" building of "Biologicas". This should be enough. Some maps are available and may be really useful to you.
