This Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing bus service lets you explore Madrid with complete flexibility aboard open-top double-decker buses. With a single ticket, you can get on and off at any stop on the three routes, switch routes whenever you like and learn about the city's history through an audio guide with headphones, available in ten languages.
Route 1 (blue), Madrid Histórico, covers the monumental centre: the tree-lined Paseo del Prado, the architectural legacy of the Habsburgs, part of the Art Triangle and the stretch from the Palacio Real to the Templo de Debod. Route 2 (green), Madrid Moderno, shows the contemporary city, with stops such as Plaza de Colón, Nuevos Ministerios, the Museo Sorolla and the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, passing close to the Torres KIO and the sculptures of the Museo de Arte Público.
Route 3 (orange), Madrid Actual, focuses on the city's most creative and cosmopolitan side: it leaves from Neptuno and the Puerta de Alcalá, passes the Casa Árabe, the Goya district and the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, and continues through Colón and Malasaña to Callao and Gran Vía, Madrid's main shopping and entertainment area.
The ticket also includes access to a walking tour of the historic centre, run as a tip-based free tour. An ideal option for those who want to explore Madrid on their own, combining the bus routes with walks.
