There were many stops. Everyone helped give directions. The audio was clear but some of the seats did not match the language and channels. It was raining hard. I wish it had a side cover on the top deck.

It was great that the tickets could be bought in advance. The bus trip was fine. Too bad the audio didn't work properly, so we didn't hear everything. The queue for the palace was very long. With our pre-purchased tickets we were able to skip the line. Very nice.

Booking was easy but be aware of how many similar tours stop in exact spot. Big bus is obvious and dark red color but two different companies have bright red - one is Madrid city tours and one is city sightseeing Madrid. Many tourists getting on wrong buses and confused. Also stop near plaza del sol is hard to locate. Be aware that Prada stop gets busy - it is also where the buses end their route or take a break, so you may wait for a bus only to find after letting passengers off it is stopping service.

The buses run very frequently we never waited more than a few mins. We also didn't need to print out our tickets as we were told to, they just scanned them on board. We were not out early enough to do the walking tour at 11 am. But we were able to do both 1 and 2 routes on our ticket. The headphone sockets did not all work but you could share one set between 2 of you. Remember to take something warm to wear, it gets quite cold on the top. Great experience and good value for money.

Personnel provided excellent service but when they will be named bus stops in English also, will be better. Additionally, I would like to recommend make some tour bus stops more visible from the distance, espesially on the Green Line.

THEY NEVER INFORMED THAT DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE HOLIDAYS, ROADS WOULD BE CLOSED AND THEY WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH SCHEDULES, FREQUENCIES OR STOPS TO TAKE THE BUS. I WILL RECOMMEND FUTURE TRAVELERS NOT TO USE THEIR SERVICES.

We love the hop-on hop-off feature to see whatever we want and get back on the bus anytime. Purchase tickets was easy online on my cell phone. I highly recommend it if you're trying to get familiar with a new city. After our visit on the bus, we went back and revisited places more in depth. I highly recommend they hop on hop off bus experience

Being able to see round the whole city with a good view and a commentary. There was a bit too much info about architects for our taste, when what buildings were and how old they were and how different pats of the city evolved would have been more interesting to us

Great venue and loved the palace tour. All signs were in both Spanish and English and the audio guides were worth the small additional charge. An amazing place to see and learn about. Bus tour was ok, although a number of headphone ports on some of the buses weren't working so no commentary. Got us where we needed and enjoyed seeing the city that way.

The audio guide to ancient Madrid was ''poor,'' the recorded text was not complete, definitely in need of updating.More information could have been given about the monuments , history and the city.

We loved this site, favorite "museum" experience of our trip. Seeing the trophies, walking among full-sized waving images of the players, and getting photos in the stadium (top seats, not on the field) was fun for the soccer fans. The movie about the history of Santiago Bernabeu himself and the building of the stadium was interesting for the history folks (it was only in Spanish, but the old photographs and video helped tell the story). It was a lot of walking but okay for us. The store at the end was HUGE and had everything a fan could possibly want. It was a pricey day but a trip highlight. Highly recommend.

Booking was easy but be aware of how many similar tours stop in exact spot. Big bus is obvious and dark red color but two different companies have bright red - one is Madrid city tours and one is city sightseeing Madrid. Many tourists getting on wrong buses and confused. Also stop near plaza del sol is hard to locate. Be aware that Prada stop gets busy - it is also where the buses end their route or take a break, so you may wait for a bus only to find after letting passengers off it is stopping service.

Not much, unfortunately. We were disappointed by this visit. We've had the opportunity to visit many of Europe's great stadiums, and we were expecting to visit a stadium worthy of the club...apart from the relatively high price... no tour guide, visit of the exterior limited to the stands, no access to the pitch, no access to the commentators' areas or to the players' changing rooms.... very, very unfortunate for Real fans.

The buses run very frequently we never waited more than a few mins. We also didn't need to print out our tickets as we were told to, they just scanned them on board. We were not out early enough to do the walking tour at 11 am. But we were able to do both 1 and 2 routes on our ticket. The headphone sockets did not all work but you could share one set between 2 of you. Remember to take something warm to wear, it gets quite cold on the top. Great experience and good value for money.

I was lucky that I bought tickets online, otherwise it was a 1 kilometer queue. Perhaps it would have been good to specify somewhere that those with online tickets can enter past the enormous queue to buy tickets, where exactly. The royal palace is gorgeous! I found the tour quite short, especially as it is compared to Versailles. But the experience is worth it. I think that here, on this site, I found the cheapest tickets.

Great experience to do, great price too. Only the skip the line is not clear. You have an entrance with and without a ticket. And then it is not clear where you have to stand with your ticket. Finally found the right and indeed much shorter line and could then enter within 15 minutes...skip the line of buying a ticket is a fair term.

Finding an entry gate among many is also a fun to know how big Prado is and how beautiful a botanic. Garden is . Yes it is too great indeed inside to see all out with only a day but a couple of days . Compared with artists' age of life against the size of campus they painted , we can easily image they could not sleep enough for completing their paints , genius enough . So you can smell their real history as if you had been living contemporary. Do not miss such a chance .

The works from the permanent exhibition were my goal. I only had about two hours to work with so I prepared and aimed for the highlights. It was awesome. I hadn't studied the floor plan at all, but as I am trained in architecture the building was rather easy to navigate. I would strongly recommend that people prepare themselves and plan an itinerary through the collection. There was some confusion on my behalf about the digital audio guide included so I rented the official audio guide from the museum. It was a great little guide, which I enjoyed both in Spanish and English.

Booking was easy but be aware of how many similar tours stop in exact spot. Big bus is obvious and dark red color but two different companies have bright red - one is Madrid city tours and one is city sightseeing Madrid. Many tourists getting on wrong buses and confused. Also stop near plaza del sol is hard to locate. Be aware that Prada stop gets busy - it is also where the buses end their route or take a break, so you may wait for a bus only to find after letting passengers off it is stopping service.

The buses run very frequently we never waited more than a few mins. We also didn't need to print out our tickets as we were told to, they just scanned them on board. We were not out early enough to do the walking tour at 11 am. But we were able to do both 1 and 2 routes on our ticket. The headphone sockets did not all work but you could share one set between 2 of you. Remember to take something warm to wear, it gets quite cold on the top. Great experience and good value for money.

Having skip-the-line tickets for three museums was a great help. Let customers know at The Prado they will have to "exchange" their digital tickets for printed ones to differentiate between the museums. They will have to stand in line to do so. No big deal but a bit confusing as there is no signage for this. The museum is extraordinary as is the Thyssen too!

This was a return visit to the Prado after 12 years. As expected the work on display was truly wonderful. The last time I was there Goya's black paintings were down stairs in ( I think)a basement area. This time they were in a room on the ground floor adjacent to other work by Goya and Velazquez and I felt they lost something of their impact. My main gripe with my visit this time was the crowds. It was impossible to get anywhere close to a lot of the better known and more popular works. Big attractions like Las Meninas and Goya's 3rd of May were impossible to view as the crowds were so large -- a lot of pushing and shoving involved. I know there is very little that can be done about this, but I thought I should mention it anyway. Also the queing in the restruants and cafes was so long and frustrating that we gave up in the end. Apart from these few grumbles the Prado visiting experience is still among the best in Europe. And what a collection!

I spent the whole day going from one museum to the next. Each was unique and featured thoughtfully curated exhibitions.

The close proximity of the museums to each other was a huge incentive to keep moving. It was fabulous.

It was great that the tickets could be bought in advance. The bus trip was fine. Too bad the audio didn't work properly, so we didn't hear everything. The queue for the palace was very long. With our pre-purchased tickets we were able to skip the line. Very nice.

Booking was easy but be aware of how many similar tours stop in exact spot. Big bus is obvious and dark red color but two different companies have bright red - one is Madrid city tours and one is city sightseeing Madrid. Many tourists getting on wrong buses and confused. Also stop near plaza del sol is hard to locate. Be aware that Prada stop gets busy - it is also where the buses end their route or take a break, so you may wait for a bus only to find after letting passengers off it is stopping service.

The buses run very frequently we never waited more than a few mins. We also didn't need to print out our tickets as we were told to, they just scanned them on board. We were not out early enough to do the walking tour at 11 am. But we were able to do both 1 and 2 routes on our ticket. The headphone sockets did not all work but you could share one set between 2 of you. Remember to take something warm to wear, it gets quite cold on the top. Great experience and good value for money.

Great venue and loved the palace tour. All signs were in both Spanish and English and the audio guides were worth the small additional charge. An amazing place to see and learn about. Bus tour was ok, although a number of headphone ports on some of the buses weren't working so no commentary. Got us where we needed and enjoyed seeing the city that way.

Suggested Madrid City Tours Itineraries

Madrid in 1 day 
Madrid in 2 days

If you only have a day in Madrid, start with a panoramic tour of the city on the Modern Madrid route.

This open-top bus ride takes you past iconic landmarks like Plaza de Cibeles, Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, and Puerta de Alcalá. You’ll get to enjoy stunning views of the city’s modern and historic architecture while listening to engaging commentary from an English-speaking guide.

Once you’ve soaked in the city’s essence from the bus, focus on a few key stops. Explore the Museo Nacional del Prado, home to masterpieces by Spanish artists like Velázquez and Goya. Then, take a short walk to the serene Retiro Park, where you can admire the Palacio de Cristal or simply relax by the lake.

Wrap up your day with a visit to Gran Via, Madrid’s bustling shopping and entertainment hub. Stroll through its vibrant streets, take in the grand architecture, and stop for a tapas dinner at one of its many atmospheric restaurants.

With two days in Madrid, you’ll have enough time to fully explore both modern and historic Madrid while diving deeper into the city’s diverse attractions. With this thoughtfully paced itinerary, you will experience Madrid’s rich history, vibrant culture, and modern flair:

Day 1

Begin your day by exploring Historic Madrid. Stop by Plaza Mayor, a vibrant square steeped in history, and take a short walk to Mercado de San Miguel, where you can sample traditional Spanish delicacies. 

Then, visit the Royal Palace of Madrid, marveling at its opulent rooms and beautiful gardens. From there, head to Templo de Debod, an ancient Egyptian temple offering stunning sunset views over the city.

Day 2

Spend your second day uncovering Modern Madrid. Start at the sleek Puerta de Europa Towers at Plaza de Castilla before heading to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, a must-visit for football fans. 

Next, explore the elegant Barrio de Salamanca, known for its high-end boutiques and museums, such as the Museo Lázaro Galdiano. 

Conclude your day at Plaza de Cibeles, a postcard-perfect spot to capture Madrid’s dazzling city lights as the day winds down.

Madrid City tips

  • Visit Museo del Prado early because this world-famous museum gets busy fast, and starting your day here means you’ll get to enjoy masterpieces by Velázquez and Goya without the crowds. Trust us, the quieter atmosphere makes all the difference in taking it all in.
  • Pair Retiro Park with Puerta de Alcalá since they’re super close. After getting that perfect shot of Puerta de Alcalá’s grand arches, you can unwind in the peaceful green spaces of Retiro—it’s the perfect combo of sightseeing and a refreshing break from the city buzz, especially during the midday heat.
  • If you’re visiting the Royal Palace, make sure to get tickets in advance. It’s one of Madrid’s busiest attractions, and you’ll save time avoiding long queues.
  • If shopping and museums are your thing, head to Barrio de Salamanca. You’ll find chic boutiques alongside cultural gems like Museo Lázaro Galdiano. It’s a great way to mix retail therapy with seriously fascinating art.
  • For an unforgettable sunset, go to Templo de Debod. Watching the sun dip behind the ancient Egyptian temple feels magical—it’s a beautiful mix of history and nature that’s totally worth planning your evening around.
  • Wrap up your day on Gran Via. This buzzing street has amazing restaurants and lively nightlife, so whether you’re craving a good meal or want to soak up Madrid’s energy, it’s the place to be.

Frequently asked questions about Madrid City Tours

Is the Madrid City Tour suitable for first-time visitors?

Absolutely! The panoramic routes are designed to highlight the city’s top attractions while giving you flexibility. You can hop off to explore specific locations or just sit back and enjoy the narrated tour. It’s especially great to get acquainted with Madrid if it’s your first visit.

Which stops are a must-see?

In Historic Madrid, don’t miss the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and Templo de Debod. For Modern Madrid, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Puerta de Alcalá, and Plaza de Cibeles are standout stops. These locations represent Madrid’s history, culture, and contemporary vibe perfectly.

What are the main differences between the Historic and Modern Madrid routes?

The Historic route takes you through Madrid’s cultural and historical landmarks like the Royal Palace, Templo de Debod, and Plaza Mayor, reflecting the city’s past. The Modern route focuses on Madrid’s contemporary side with stops like Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Barrio de Salamanca, and Plaza de Colón, showcasing its modern architecture and vibrant city life.

How much time should I spend at each stop?

It depends on your interests. For major attractions like Museo del Prado or Retiro Park, plan at least 1-2 hours. Smaller stops like Puerta de Alcalá or Plaza de Cibeles might need just 15-30 minutes for photos and a quick look.
