About this experience

Madrid City Tour: Hop-on Hop-Off Bus Tour This hop-on hop-off bus tour covers Madrid's most important sights across two distinct routes, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace.

With over 30 stops and frequent departures, you can spend as much time as you want at each location. Your 24-hour ticket includes more than just rides on the open-top double-decker buses. The host also provides a 2-hour guided walking tour of Madrid's city centre, a complimentary drink at a local bar, and a free 30-minute bike or pedal kart ride at Retiro Park.
