All the exhibits in the museums. I highly recommend them. The three-museum pass is also great, since it lets you see them all. Plus, they're all very close to each other.

It was the combined ticket for the three exhibitions that first gave us the idea to visit the Thyssen-Bornemisza exhibition, and it was fantastic. The Thyssen-Bornemisza exhibition was the best.

We witness the grand magestic arcs or puertas and structures in the city rotundas. From the tour, we can see the beautiful contrast of both historical and modern landmarks. How awesome is the Plaza de Toros and Museo del Prado. We realized that Madrid is both enjoyable from the Bus point of view and from walking thru the streets. We have a lot of fun.

There’s no better way to explore Madrid for the first time. The tour’s multilingual commentary is very clear. The stop announcements are only in Spanish, and the stop number is almost inaudible. That’s a shame.
