The Avenida de América (Avenue of the Americas) is a Madrid Metro station connecting line 4, line 6, line 7, and line 9. It is the largest station of the Madrid Metro in terms of the number of transfers possible. It also served as a station of the old line 8 until it was joined with line 10. It is about 15 minutes from Madrid Barajas Airport and 10 minutes from Madrid City Centre.[1]

In 2000, an underground bus station was opened at the metro station after three years of construction. The bus station occupies basements 1-3, while the metro station occupies the lower levels.
