Spain · CITY TOURS
A first afternoon in an unfamiliar Spanish city is what these are for. The 15 below cover the open-top routes, the walking introductions and the private cars, priced by length and by how much ground each covers.
Ride Madrid’s open-top double-decker bus on two routes covering the Prado, Royal Palace, Gran Vía, Puerta del Sol, Santiago Bernabéu, and more. You get audio in 14 languages, plus an optional summer night route. Guides such as Fernando, Cillian, and Miguel lead the separate walking tour.
“It is a very good option to explore Madrid, the bad point is that you can’t get out of the bus, just one stop….”
Use one ticket on Barcelona's Red and Blue routes, with 38 stops covering Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, La Rambla, Montjuïc, beaches, and FC Barcelona. An audio guide in 16 languages, Wi-Fi, headphones, and a city map help you plan your day, though attraction tickets and food cost extra.
“This is the best way to see Barcelona! Best of all, a new bus stop had been added only a couple of months ago across the road from our hotel in the Diagonal Mar area, so this was ideal for us. The two routes (red and blue) take you all over the centre & outskirts of Barcelona. We bought a 48hr ticket as we were there for 4 nights, and we used it to capacity. It was very good value for money & even better, when we were sitting upstairs on the open top part, as soon as raindrops started to fall, the driver activated the roof to close automatically…”
Ride Barcelona’s open-top Bus Turistic on two routes covering Gaudí landmarks, Montjuïc, the waterfront, Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and more. Use a mobile or paper ticket for 24 or 48 hours, hop off as often as you like, and listen to commentary in 16 languages. Expect panoramic views, Wi-Fi, traffic delays, and some confusing stop locations.
“The Hop On Hop Off experience in Barcelona was horrendous. It was windy and rainy and the driver forced us to the upper level. Although the top was covered the sides were not. All four of us got drenched and froze. We hopped off at the second stop and took a cab back to the ship. Immediately upon returning to the ship, I sent several notes to Viator requesting a refund. My requests were completely ignored. Unless this is reconciled by Viator or the Hop Off - Hop On company we’ll never use Viator again. I’m giving them several more days to respond before blasting them over Facebook, X, TikTok,…”
Use a 24 or 48-hour City Sightseeing bus pass to circle Seville’s major sights, from Plaza de España and Triana to the Torre del Oro and Macarena. Audio commentary comes in 15 languages, and selected passes add walking tours, church entry, bike hire, stadium access, museums, and more. Buses run every 30 to 40 minutes.

Ride Granada’s open-sided city train along the Alhambra Route, with stops at the Alhambra, Plaza Nueva, Cathedral, Mirador de San Cristóbal, and more. Use a one-trip, one-day, or two-day ticket, and listen to commentary in 12 languages. Bring your own headphones and allow extra time when trains fill up.
“Good way to see the city, downside was can be quite busy and have to wait for a seat”
Ride Madrid’s open-top double-decker bus on two panoramic routes covering royal Madrid, the Prado area, Gran Vía, Salamanca, Castellana, and Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The ticket is valid for 24 hours, but this is currently a continuous panoramic tour, not a hop-on hop-off service. Audio commentary comes in 14 languages.
“Great way to get an overview of the city. But be sure to follow this day with on-foot exploring. Madrid has many intimate plazas and buses can't access small streets.”
Use a 24 or 48-hour pass to explore Barcelona by double-decker bus, switching between the eastern route’s Gaudí sights and the western route’s Montjuïc museums and harbor. Audio commentary is offered in several languages. Upgrade to include a one-hour coastal catamaran cruise, but check sailing times before planning your day.
“Wonderful commentary . Two routes included in the ticket. There are a lot of stops and buses run frequently. We purchased a 2 day ticket. The first day we rode to take in all of the sights and the second day we used the hop on hop off capability to explore the sights we were most interested in”
Ride through central Madrid in a private electric tuk tuk with a Spanish or English-speaking guide. You’ll see the Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral, Plaza Mayor, Prado, Retiro, Puerta de Alcalá, and more. Choose from one to four hours, with longer tours adding stops such as the Temple of Debod, Las Ventas, and the Bernabéu Stadium.

“It was my first time trying a hop-on/hop-off bus and I regret not doing it sooner ! it's a very good way to explore the city; the audio guide and some entry tickets are also included”

“Not good for disabled people. The tour stops blocks from the attractions. We had to take the horse carriage tour so that my husband can see the important places.”
Ride about 10 kilometers on mostly flat streets with a local guide from Barrio Santa Cruz through María Luisa Park, Plaza de España, Triana, and the Guadalquivir riverfront.
