Description

Context", "The Madrid tourist bus offers an accessible and comfortable way to discover the city through two panoramic routes that span from the historic city center to modern districts. The service operates year-round, with buses running every 8 to 15 minutes depending on the season. The open-top deck allows passengers to view landmarks such as the Royal Palace and Gran Vía from about 3 meters above ground, where the breeze carries scents of thyme and hot asphalt.", "The Experience", "Board a double-decker bus to explore Madrid at your own pace, choosing between Route 1 (Historic Madrid) and Route 2 (Modern Madrid). Enjoy an audio guide available in 14 languages that narrates the history and fun facts of each major attraction. You can get off and on at any stop to visit museums, parks, or plazas, and combine your journey with a Free Walking Tour included with the 24-hour ticket. The city’s ambient sounds blend with the narration, creating a full sensory experience.", "For Whom", "This activity is ideal for first-time visitors to Madrid, families with children, older adults, or people with limited mobility who can access adapted buses. It’s also suitable for multicultural groups who value multilingual audio guides. Not recommended for those seeking highly active experiences, or for people with vertigo who may feel uncomfortable on the open upper deck.", "Local Context", "Madrid is a city that blends tradition and modernity, where historic buildings coexist with revitalized neighborhoods. The tour highlights the city’s urban and cultural evolution, from the Prado Museum to the Gran Vía. The local community actively participates in preserving and promoting heritage, and the tourist bus offers a unique window into this dynamic urban life.",

Description

Las largas jornadas haciendo turismo pueden resultar realmente agotadoras, especialmente para los más pequeños. Tenemos la solución perfecta para toda la familia: Una visita guiada en autobús por las calles de Madrid. Podréis desplazaros a vuestras anchas por la ciudad, recorriendo las principales arterias de la capital y conociendo todos y cada uno de los edificios y monumentos más importantes de Madrid. Los autobuses de este tour hacen dos recorridos distintos, que en caso de que decidieseis completarlos de forma ininterrumpida, os llevarían alrededor de una hora y media. Sin embargo, la idea de este Madrid City Tour es que recorráis la ciudad libremente, a vuestro ritmo, pudiendo subir y bajar del autobús tantas veces como queráis a lo largo del día. Se trata de un vehículo confortable y adaptado para personas de movilidad reducida. Se irán narrando en distintos idiomas curiosidades sobre los lugares por los que vaya pasando el autobús. Además, este tiene un segundo piso sin techo para ofrecer vistas panorámicas. A lo largo de un mismo día podrás disfrutar de dos rutas diferentes: Línea 1: Desde el inicio hasta el final de la ruta transcurrirán unos 80 minutos. Pasa por muchos de los lugares y calles más icónicas del centro de Madrid: El Madrid de los Austrias, la Almudena, Moncloa, el Templo de Debod, la Plaza de España, recorrerá la Gran Vía hasta Cibeles y entre otros lugares también pasará por el Paseo del Prado y la Puerta de Alcalá. Línea 2: Este recorrido tardara en completarse alrededor de 65 minutos. Pasa por el Paseo de la Castellana (Nuevos Ministerios, el Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, las cuatro torres...), Colón, la Calle de Serrano y por la zona de Cortes entre muchos otros muchos puntos de interés.  El bono tendrá una validez de 24 horas y podrá utilizarse cualquier día dentro de los 15 días naturales posteriores al día en que haya sido canjeado. Aunque siempre dependerá de la densidad del tráfico y la época del año, los autobuses pasarán por cada parada cada 8 o 15 minutos.  El autobús turístico más famoso de Madrid os está esperando. ¡Reserva ya vuestras entradas! * Esta es una oferta para niños y niñas de 7 a 15 años de edad. A partir de los 16, los niños deberán pagar precio de adulto. Los bebés y niños hasta los 6 años inclusive podrán adquirir su entrada de forma gratuita.
