Two route were optional through older Madrid and new Madrid. The older Madrid (route 1) was fascinating and had lots of stops and points of interest. The new Madrid route (route 2) was filled with less to see or hear about however it is a great opportunity to travel further north of Madrid centre to the new business hub with modern skyscrapers and impressive shopping centre

Great way to see the city, get a feel for the geography. They offer free maps to study while on the tour. Then plan your visits to places you want to go. Better views from top deck! The 2-day pass is the best bargain! I like they had USB ports available to recharge your phone while riding. I noticed many of the earphone plug jacks were in need of repair on the buses.

For first time in Madrid you have to first study the important places you want to see or visit to get out on time off the bus. If you have some problem with walking, you better walk quick other wise the bus just start and you can not get out. That happened with us old people.
