Madrid is the pulsating heart of Spain, where every corner tells a story and every street echoes with the vibrancy of Spanish culture. It is the capital of Spain and one of the most attractive and fascinating cities in Europe. It offers a wide range of attractions, sites not to be missed, vibrant nightlife, interesting architecture, and a fascinating mix of old and new. Visiting Madrid provides a rich experience of tasty tapas, incredible art, ancient architecture, and unforgettable day trips to nearby medieval towns.
 
Explore Madrid aboard a double-decker open-top Panoramic Madrid sightseeing bus. With this panoramic bus you can visit the most important points of the Spanish capital in the most comfortable way. Take a journey through history and explore Madrid's medieval origins. From the open-top deck of the Panoramic Madrid bus, you will not have to get off the panoramic bus to admire Madrid’s most iconic sights. As you relax on our top deck and enjoy the 360º views, you will have the opportunity to learn about the history of these attractions through our engaging audio guide. This guide will provide you with valuable insights into the history and culture of each site, enhancing your overall experience.
 
This panoramic Madrid bus tour will take you on an unforgettable tour of the most emblematic places of the Spanish capital. Visit the famous Golden Triangle of Art present in this cultural city: the Prado Museum, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum. The Prado Museum in Madrid is like Spain's version of the Louvre. It has a huge collection of famous art pieces from Spain and around the world, including works by Rubens, Rembrandt, Goya, and El Greco. The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is one of the largest modern art museums in the world, and it has many important 20th-century artworks. The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum features a large and diverse collection of European art. These three museums are close to each other and easy to visit on the Panoramic Madrid bus tour.
 
After enjoying the art, be sure to visit the amazing Palacio Real. It is the largest palace in Europe and the official home of the Spanish royal family in Madrid. The palace covers 135,000 m2 and has 870 windows, 240 balconies, 44 staircases, and over 3,400 beautifully furnished rooms. Next, take a walk in Plaza Mayor, Spain’s largest square, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll and try a squid roll. For some relaxation, visit El Retiro, Madrid’s beautiful urban park. If you love shopping and delicious food, check out Gran Vía, famous for its shops and tasty tapas. Finally, do not miss the impressive Templo de Debod, an ancient Egyptian temple given to Spain by the Egyptian government in the 2nd century.
 
If you want a city where you can shop, enjoy delicious tapas, see amazing art, and experience lively nightlife, Madrid is the place for you. This diverse capital has plenty to offer. Our Madrid Panoramic Tour allows you to see the city comfortably from our bright red double-decker buses.
