Did the Big Bus Madrid tour with my partner last week. Seats were a bit hard for the 90ish min ride, but you get used to it. Our guide, Ines, was charming and cracked jokes along the way—she did this quick switch between Spanish & English so sometimes I got a bit lost (my Spanish is zerooo). The views were EPIC, esp around the Palace at sunset. Not a ton of time to snap pics tho, bus moves fast. Still, super helpful if you wanna get a feel for the city layout.

Took my parents on the Big Bus tour and it was a BLAST. Weather was sunny, so we sat up top. The guide, Jorge, kept pointing out quirky facts (like a statue that’s supposed to bring good luck if you wave at it??). Didn’t mind the no hop-off thing, actually—it meant we didn’t lose anyone! I’d say bring water and maybe a hat, the sun gets intense. Def worth the price for the laughs & learning.

The bus was late by 15 mins, but after that, the ride was fine. Didn’t love that the commentary was mostly in Spanish, but I picked up bits here and there. Saw pretty much all the big spots in Madrid in under 2 hours. If you hate walking, this is a good option.

We did this as a group of friends (6 of us) and honestly had fun. The seats aren’t the comfiest and the AC was struggling a bit, but the guide made up for it with loads of energy. You can’t take pics through the glass very well, but the open top was the PLAAACE to be. Good way to start our Madrid trip.
Madrid Zoo Aquarium
Start your day at Madrid Zoo Aquarium, home to over 6,000 animals from five continents, where you can come face-to-face with giant pandas, white rhinos, Komodo dragons, and even the elusive Mediterranean Seahorse. Wander through habitats designed to mirror the wild, from the African savannah to an underwater tunnel where gray reef and bull sharks glide above. Did you know the zoo’s dolphinarium hosts one of Europe’s most captivating dolphin shows? Get ready for a day of discovery and jaw-dropping wildlife encounters.

After a day in the wild, hop on a 90-minute panoramic bus tour and see Madrid’s most iconic landmarks without lifting a foot. The Blue Route takes you past architectural gems like the Royal Palace, Reina Sofia Museum, and Gran Vía, all from the comfort of a double-decker bus.
