Take a seat on an open-top double-decker bus for a 1- or 2-consecutive days sightseeing tour of Madrid that lets you create your own itinerary. This hop-on hop-off Madrid bus tour offers multiple stops along two routes that interconnect around the city — your ticket is valid on both. 

Remain on the bus for each loop while you listen to onboard commentary via an audio headset, or hop on and off at any stop to explore city sights on your own (admission fees are not included).

Follow Route 1 (Blue Route) to view the Belle Epoque buildings of historical Madrid. Disembark to explore the Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral, and the Prado Museum, or admire the Gran Vía, Madrid’s main thoroughfare.

Switch to Route 2 (Green Route) to focus on 19th- and 20th-century Madrid. Travel past skyscrapers and the legendary Bernabéu stadium—home to Real Madrid FC—along the Paseo de la Castellana. Perhaps stroll through the elegant bourgeois enclave of Salamanca, or visit the city’s many museums with a focus on archaeology, sculpture, natural science and more.

Refund not considered
Adzhar_A
, Mar 2020
We had a challenge just before we rode on the tour because my friend's mobile phone got snatched at Gran Via. We went to the police station to make a report (twice). We were not enjoying the tour as we were upset. We cut short the tour & I eventually asked for a refund, if they could consider our bad experience. I know it was not their fault that caused the 'snatched' but the provider didn't even consider my plea for a refund even we didn't even ask for a full one. Its OK.

Excellent bus

We were able to use only one of our two days, but it was excellent. We were able to see the city in a nutshell and in a short period of time. Due to the Coronavirus, we were not able to continue our trip, therefore we could not use the second day but they refunded 50 % of our ticket. Thank you.

Pretty good overview of the city for cheap!

Having taken other HoHo's in other cities this was by far the most difficult to find stops for. Would highly recommend googling their site to find out where they stop. Once found, boarding was easy. They conveniently take the Viator ticket right on the bus vs others who force you to go to an office and redeem a physical ticket. The staff were nice and the actual ride was pleasant and takes you around a good amount of the city.
