Yes, that’s two-storey red bus. It is the Madrid Touristic Bus, which will take you to see every corner of Madrid. Are you classic or innovative? This service has two routes to satisfy all your desires. And if you want to know both, the historical Madrid and the modern Madrid, during your stay in the capital, you can buy a voucher for two days. The traditional route starts near Prado Museum. After visiting the Meninas by Velázquez or the Majas by Goya, you can contemplate the Puerta de Alcalá in all its glory. Then you will run through Gran Vía and you will be able to admire the big billboard from the musical theatres that are showing in Madrid. Soon you will get Plaza de España, where you can see the statue of Miguel de Cervantes, accompanied by Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Before passing the Teatro Real and the Royal Palace, you have to take some pictures with the Temple of Debod. Yes! Madrid is so exceptional that even has a real Egyptian temple in the middle of the city! After this wonderful sight we go to one of the most traditional district in the capital: La Latina, where you will find the Puerta de Toledo, the Church of San Francisco el Grande and Almudena’s Cathedral. Then, we approach the city center: the Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol, and embark on the way back, including stops at the Círculo de Bellas Artes, Thyssen-Bornesmiza Museum, Reina Sofia Museum and Botanical Gardens. Modern MadridWould you like to know the city of Madrid? Hop on the bus to the modern Madrid. From Paseo del Prado we're heading in the neighbourhood of Salamanca, passing through Plaza Cibeles and Plaza de Colón. Visit the Sculpture Museum, the Natural History Museum and if you're with your children do not miss the dinosaur room. Following this walk through time, you can go to the Archaeological Museum and a little bit later to the Lázaro Galdiano Museum, a place surrounded by breathtaking gardens and located in a mansion in the early twentieth century. Inside its rooms you can see paintings by Bosch, El Greco and Goya. After a tour near Nuevos Ministerios, it's time to see with your own eyes the place that you have seen so many times on TV: the legendary Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Through a guided tour you will have access to the locker room of players from Real Madrid, the soccer field, the grandstand, the VIP area and trophy room. Do you want to miss it?
