Explore Madrid with City Sightseeing Madrid
Close to the Paseo del Prado, Plaza de Neptuno is the reference point for City Sightseeing Madrid. From this well-known area of the capital, a sightseeing bus offers visitors a different way to discover the streets, squares and landmarks that shape the city.
Travelling on a panoramic bus gives you time to take in the surroundings as you move between areas of interest. It is an option for first-time visitors looking for an introduction to Madrid, as well as for anyone who wants to see its avenues, buildings and neighbourhoods from another perspective.
City Sightseeing offers routes with stops around the city. Depending on the ticket selected, the hop-on hop-off format lets you get off to explore and continue your journey afterwards. Routes, stops and ticket conditions may vary, so check the activity details before planning your visit.
What to see along the way
Madrid brings together historic landmarks, museums, broad avenues and neighbourhoods with distinct personalities. A journey on a sightseeing bus offers a chance to enjoy the cityscape while travelling between different areas and deciding where you would like to spend more time.
Near Neptuno, the Art Walk is a good place to begin exploring the capital’s cultural attractions. The Museo Nacional del Prado and Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza are both in the surrounding area, alongside the tree-lined Paseo del Prado.
There is much more to discover beyond the museums, from historic squares and prominent buildings to shopping streets. The places covered by each route depend on the itinerary available, so check the stops in advance if there is a particular part of Madrid you want to explore.
You can make the bus journey part of a longer day out, combining it with a museum visit, a meal in the city centre or a walk through nearby neighbourhoods. The way you organise your stops will depend on the ticket option and its conditions.
