If you don't have enough time for a more intimate and leisurely exploration of the Spanish capital's sights, a bus tour of Madrid is a great option for an "express trip". The city has two dedicated tourist routes for this purpose:
- short, which lasts 65 minutes and covers the modern center of the capital;
- long, which lasts about 80 minutes and allows tourists to see the entire historic center.
Bus tours
This sightseeing tour of Madrid is convenient because you can buy a ticket for one or two days and use all the tourist buses of any route during that time at your discretion.
You can get off the bus at any stop that interests you, and then board another bus to continue your journey. Each tourist is provided with route maps, headphones for audio guides, and a discount booklet offering reductions on various excursions and events.
