However, if you pick the Madrid City Tour pass, you can choose between 4 routes with 16 to 22 stops between them. On the other hand, City Sightseeing offers 2 routes with 32 stops, and Big Bus follows 1 route with 11 stops. Look through their routes and schedules to see which tour might work best for your itinerary.

Visitor tips for the Hop-on Hop-off Madrid tour

  • Plan your visit in advance. You can take a look at the map your operator provides and mark all the spots you’d like to see and also calculate how much time you’d like to spend at each one.
  • Madrid’s weather is notoriously fickle, especially during spring. Wear light clothes and long pants for your day out. Carry a shawl or sweater with you in case the weather turns and you’re left shivering.
  • Note the start and end times of your tour, and start your day as early as possible. This way you can beat the crowds and cover as many sights as possible.
  • Madrid is unapologetically loud, even during the off-season. For visitors from quieter places, all the noise can be overwhelming. So wear earplugs when exploring most attractions to give your ears some rest.
  • If there’s a popular restaurant you’d like to visit while you’re in Madrid, make a reservation. Some restaurants may not accept walk-ins, especially during tourist season.
