If you come with a child, don’t like to walk, or simply your stay in Madrid is only a couple of days, but you want to see everything at once, tourist bus- this is the perfect way to get acquainted with Spanish capital.
The rhythm of the metropolis, the rush - even the residents of Madrid themselves need to stop and look around at the beauties of the city that surround us. How many times, while running along Gran Via (yes, just running), it doesn’t even occur to us to stop and look at the carved figures of gods supporting the roofs of buildings, or to examine in detail the fountain in Plaza Cibeles. How many lions are harnessed to the Goddess's chariot? More than half of the residents will say: “Four!”, but there are only two of them. So, it doesn’t matter whether you are a tourist or a Russian-speaking resident of the capital - we recommend taking a tour bus at least once and looking at Madrid with different eyes.
In the capital, as in most other cities, tourist buses have two floors. The first, or inner zone, is equipped with air conditioning in summer and heating in winter; the second, or external, located at the top of the bus, has no walls (heating and air conditioning, respectively), but gives full review 360 degree view of the city. Surprisingly, even in January and with strong winds, on the second floor you can see flocks of Japanese tourists bravely photographing Madrid.
All seats on the buses are equipped with audio guides (including in Russian), but not only sightseeing and interesting stories make tourist buses so attractive. The main advantage is that the traveler is completely spared from getting to know the capital's public transport, which saves enormous time and money. Are you interested in a specific place? You can leave the bus and get back on the next one when you get on to continue your route. The number of your trips is unlimited, it all depends on the tariff you choose, for 1 day or two.
Today there are several companies providing sightseeing tours around Madrid, but offers the most convenient routes Madrid City Tours. Although there are only two directions: Historical Madrid and Modern Madrid, it’s quite simple circuit routes, a large number of stops and traffic intensity will help you see almost the entire city in a matter of hours.
You can buy tickets for a tourist bus both on the bus itself and in the centers tourist information or kiosks located near its stops. For those who like to plan all the details of their trip in advance, you can purchase tickets on the official website madridcitytour.es while still in Russia.
