Tickets and Buses
When working as a hostess at IFEMA, it’s essential to be aware of how tickets and bus services operate. Tickets are typically provided by the event’s organizing company or by IFEMA itself, and it’s crucial to have them readily available to access the venue.
Remember that depending on the pavilion assigned to you, you should enter through a specific door. If you need to go to pavilions 1 – 6, you could enter through the SOUTH door; otherwise, if you need to go to pavilions 8 – 10, you could enter more easily through the NORTH door.
Regarding buses, IFEMA offers internal transport services that take you from one pavilion to another, which is especially useful when events occupy multiple spaces. These buses operate daily during the opening hours of the venue, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The operating days may vary depending on events and demand, so we recommend checking specific schedules upon arrival at the venue. IT’S A FREE SERVICE.
ARRIVAL TIME – ALWAYS CALCULATE 30 MINUTES IF YOU’RE TAKING THE METRO, AND IF YOU’RE DRIVING (DEPENDING ON THE DAY), ALLOW ENOUGH TIME TO PARK YOUR CAR (KEEP IN MIND THAT IT’S HARDER TO FIND A SPOT ON WEEKENDS).
Pavilion Details
IFEMA consists of several pavilions, each intended for different events and industrial sectors. From exhibition spaces to conference halls, each pavilion has its own identity and unique characteristics. It’s important to familiarize yourself with the location of each pavilion and the activities it will host during your working day.

Cafetería y baños
Each pavilion has a cafeteria located at the back of it when entering through the internal aisle of the venue. It offers various options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a menu and varied prices.
If you don’t go to the cafeteria, you can bring your own food and have it during break time.
The bathrooms are located on both sides of the cafeteria, and in some pavilions, there are also bathrooms in the middle. They are freely accessible, so both visitors and exhibitors can use them without any problem.
Cloakroom Service
The cloakroom service at IFEMA typically costs around €2 to €3 per item, but prices may vary depending on the event and the size of the items being stored. The cloakroom operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and attendees receive a ticket or token upon depositing their belongings. This ticket is then presented to retrieve items later. It’s essential to keep the ticket safe, as losing it may result in difficulties retrieving stored belongings. Additionally, the cloakroom service typically closes shortly after the event’s conclusion, so attendees should retrieve their items before closing time.
