About

See Madrid’s iconic landmarks on a 24 or 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus tour. The bus passes through must-see places like the Royal Palace, El Retiro Park, Temple of Debod, Casa Árabe, and Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales.

You can hop on and hop off wherever and whenever you choose. Enjoy the recorded commentary as you take in the sights around the city from the top deck.

Choose from three routes. Ride the Historic Route (Purple Route) through the historic parts of the city. The Modern Route (Blue Route) goes all the way to the iconic Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The Actual Route (Orange Route) will take you to the Las Ventas Bullring.

You can also opt for a 70-minute night tour through the city’s most iconic streets and monuments. Hop aboard a double-decker bus at sunset and enjoy audio commentary as you pass illuminated landmarks like Plaza de Cibeles, the Metropolis Building, Gran Vía, and the Puerta de Alcalá.
