Hop On-Hop Off Bus/Madrid

Dumb question...if I buy a 2 day ticket for the Hop On-Hop Off bus is it valid for two days in a row or a total of two days? Thanks!

I honestly don't think you need the 2 day pass.There are 2 routes-the modern one is not that interesting!I always recommend to my friends to take the bus at night-Madrid looks beautiful with all the buildings lit up!

I agree with chapla about not needing a two day pass on the Madrid Hop-On Hop-Off buss. The main sights in Madrid are packed fairly close together (unlike Barcelona for example), and can bee "seen" in one day easily.

One case where a multiple day pass is desirable is if you want to actually "experience" the various destinations and use the bus as more of a transportation system. It can become fairly affordable compared to taxi's, and you know for a fact that it will take you to the tourist highlights of the city for your perusing.

We planned to use it as transportation between sights. Makes life easy! Thanks, again!

Hola

I used the bus service and found it excellent. I agree with others. I don't think you'll need it for 2 days. Its main advantage is for a reconnaissance role. You'll get the gist of the layout and attractions and then for the remainder of your time in Madrid you can walk or take public transport.

Personally I think it is waste of money. The subway system and walking is just fine.

And as noted many of the major sights are clustered together.
