Explore Madrid in total comfort aboard a double‑decker sightseeing bus and discover the city in depth with just one ticket. With multiple routes and unlimited stops, you can experience the best of the capital at your own rhythm.

Route 1 (Blue) – Historical Madrid

This circular route guides you through the city’s most emblematic historical, artistic, and monumental areas. Travel along the elegant, tree‑lined Paseo del Prado and admire the architectural legacy of the Habsburgs. Explore highlights of Madrid’s Art Triangle and enjoy panoramic views stretching from the Royal Palace to the Temple of Debod.

Route 2 (Green) – Modern Madrid

Go beyond the city’s royal and historical icons to discover contemporary Madrid. From Atocha Station to Nuevos Ministerios, and from the iconic Puerta de Alcalá to Puerta del Sol, this route showcases the capital’s modern side. Marvel at striking architectural works such as the KIO Towers, the sculptures of the Public Art Museum, and the legendary Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Experience the vibrant energy, art, and lifestyle of today’s Madrid.

Route 3 (Orange) – Present‑day Madrid

Immerse yourself in the city’s most creative and cosmopolitan areas. Starting at Neptuno and Puerta de Alcalá, the route passes cultural landmarks like Casa Árabe, the Goya district, and the historic Las Ventas bullring. Continue through Colón and the lively Malasaña neighbourhood—famous for its alternative culture—before ending at Callao and the iconic Gran Vía, the heart of Madrid’s shopping and entertainment scene. This route captures the modern, authentic, and ever‑evolving spirit of the capital.
