Excellent, I recommend the 2-day voucher, so you can get to know the city more. Pay attention to the stops because the bus does not wait for the person to get off the second floor, if you are elderly / have difficulty walking try to stay at the bottom and be ready to get off before the bus stops.

I wanted to see Madrid after spending 4 days in Barcelona. The hop on hop off was ideal as I only had 1 day to do so. New Year's Eve only allowed the commuters to enjoy this with shorter hours but nevertheless, I enjoyed the Route 1 and Route 2 tours. My only complaint was the bus was not fully heated.

It was a great way to see the City. We only had a day to explore but we ended up getting off at Museo del Prado stop and had the best time walking around. We got back on the bus when we were ready. We saw some amazing views from the top of the bus. Good value and easy to use!
