Discover Madrid with Big Bus
Explore the city in a comfortable and flexible way aboard Big Bus’s open-top sightseeing bus. With a single ticket, you can access the Hop-on Hop-off system and discover Madrid at your own pace through three routes that connect some of its most iconic landmarks.

Three routes to see Madrid
The Historical Route takes you through Madrid’s most monumental side, with stops near places such as the Royal Palace, the Temple of Debod, Gran Vía and the Literary Quarter. The Modern Route runs through areas such as Castellana, Serrano, Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and the Sorolla Museum. The Contemporary Route offers a more dynamic view of the city, with places such as the Bullring, Malasaña and Puerta de Alcalá.

Why choose Big Bus Madrid?

  • In addition, with the official Big Bus Tours app, you can locate the stops and check the buses’ position in real time.

  • The open top deck offers panoramic views, ideal for seeing Madrid from a different perspective.

  • You can also choose the type of ticket that best suits your trip: Night Tour, 24-hour or 48-hour.

  • Main departure point: One of the main starting points of the route is Plaza de Neptuno, where you can begin your visit easily.

The ‘essential’ ticket is valid for 48 consecutive hours from the time it is first used; in other words, if you use it on a Monday at 10:00 am, it will remain valid until Wednesday at 10:00 am. During this time, you can hop on and off the Big Bus Madrid buses as often as you like.
