Madrid bus tour map, schedules and other services
Discover Madrid with your own custom itinerary.
The Madrid City Tour Hop-On Hop-Off service offers you a host of different ways to travel around the city at your pace and in a convenient way. Our tour buses give you the chance to create your own tour of Madrid by bus. Get on and off our buses as often as you like for as long as your ticket is valid and explore all the tourist attractions you wish during your visit to Madrid.
At Madrid City Tour we have designed two Hop-On Hop-Off routes that cover the most important points of interest of the city:
- Route 1: Historical Madrid
- Route 2: Modern Madrid
Both routes offer the option of an extended trip to reach monuments that are farther from the centre, as well as a night route so that you can enjoy the city lit up at night.
You can also make a complete tour of Madrid, passing the most important places in the city, with the flexibility of being able to get off and back on again at any of the 52 stops that Madrid City Tour offers.
