Cádiz Hop-On Hop-Off Buses

Cadiz is a place with a large number of attractions spread out along the Cadiz coastline, so if you want to see most of them, you will need to travel to different parts of the city. One way to do this is to use the City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus, which includes 14 stops at the main tourist attractions.

Among the best things to see and do in Cádiz are visiting the old town, walking along La Caleta beach, taking a stroll around the bay and losing yourself in Genovés Park. The tourist bus includes stops at all these points, making it an ideal option for saving time on your transfers and resting between each excursion.

There is only one hop-on hop-off tourist bus in Cádiz, and that is City Sightseeing, which offers a complete route along the entire coast of Cádiz , including 14 stops at the main points of interest in the city, a guided tour of the old town, an audio guide in 16 languages and a brochure with coupons for offers and discounts for attractions, museums and restaurants.

The tourist bus ticket is valid for 2 days and is activated from the first use. During its validity, you can make unlimited stops and enjoy panoramic views of the Cadiz coastline and use the bus transfers at any time, which will be available every day from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.

The Cadiz tourist bus route includes strategic stops near the city's most visited attractions, so you can use this means of transport to visit the port, the Plaza de la Hispanidad, the Cathedral, La Caleta Beach, Genovés Park, the Plaza de España and the beaches of southern Cadiz.

The tourist bus pass costs approximately €20 for adults and €10 for children under 16, so it's also an option to consider if you're planning to visit Cádiz with children.

Useful information

• Price... Approximately £18 for adults and £10 for children under 16.
• Duration**...** The pass is activated upon first use and is valid for a total of 2 days.
• Timetable... The bus will run every day from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.

The Cádiz hop-on hop-off tourist bus runs daily between 10:00 and 17:30 on a single route that includes 14 stops located in areas close to the city's main attractions, so you can use this transfer to take some of the best excursions in Cádiz.

The bus route completely circles the centre of Cadiz and reaches the southern beaches and the Puente de la Constitución bridge, so it will be useful whether you want to take a beach tour if you plan to visit Cadiz in the summer or if you prefer to visit other attractions in the old town or the coastal area.

In addition, the discount and promotion brochure includes restaurants near the bus route, so you can also save money on lunch and daily meals.

The main advantage of the Cadiz tourist bus is that it follows a single route that connects all the main points of the city, so you can avoid travelling between attractions on public transport, saving you time and money and allowing you to rest between each tour.

If you plan to visit Cádiz in August or during the summer months, the bus will also take you to the beaches in the south, not just those in the centre, so you can also visit Victoria and Santa María beaches, which are located away from the old town. In addition, you can also save money at restaurants and some of the attractions with the discount booklet offered by City Sightseeing.

On the other hand, the 14 stops on the tourist bus route provide a possible itinerary for touring Cádiz, so it will also help you to organise your trip.

Advantages of the tourist bus

• Speed of travel
• You can rest between excursions
• You will save money on transfers
• You will get discounts on excursions and gastronomic services
• You will have an organised itinerary for your trip

The complete Cádiz tourist bus tour lasts 60 minutes and stops at all 14 stops on the route during that time. As it has unlimited stops and you can use the bus as many times as you like during the 2 days your ticket is valid , you can also use it to take a panoramic tour of the city, especially if you plan to visit Cádiz in winter, when beach visits are less frequent.

The bus only runs during the day, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and has a maximum delay of 30 minutes, meaning that every half hour the bus passes through each of the stops assigned to the route.

If you wish, during the trip you can listen to the stories of each attraction near the stops on an audio guide available in 16 languages, although remember that the tourist bus pass includes a guided tour of the old town of Cadiz.

If you start the tour early in the morning , you can also combine the bus stops with other excursions in the city, such as a bike ride or a boat trip around the Bay of Cádiz, as you can take the bus as many times as you like during the validity of your pass.

On the hop-on hop-off tourist bus, you can admire the city from the panoramic views of the two floors of the vehicle during the tour and also access the main attractions at the 14 strategic stops along the route. At stop 6, you can visit Cádiz Cathedral and the surrounding square, which also houses the Church of Santiago, which is over 500 years old.

You can also discover one of the best open views of the city and the Bay of Cádiz at the Tavira Tower, which houses Spain's first camera obscura, one of the most popular attractions because it creates an optical effect that allows you to see objects located kilometres away up close. If you want to make the most of stop 6, you can also visit the Museum of Cádiz and the Conference Centre.

If you prefer to visit the beach during the tour , you can choose stops 4, 5 and 7 to visit the beaches of Santa María, La Victoria or La Caleta, which is one of the most famous and popular beaches in the city and is located in the centre of Cádiz. In the La Caleta area, you can also explore the Cadiz coastline and visit the churches of La Palma, Carmen, Rosario, San Antonio and Santo Domingo.

At stop 8, you can visit the Plaza de España, but you will also find restaurants that offer discounts with the City Sightseeing pass, such as Balandro, Mesón Cumbres Mayores, Monte y Mar and La Cafetería. You will also get a discount at the Osborne winery.

The Cádiz hop-on hop-off tourist bus only offers one option: a two-day pass with unlimited stops at the 14 stops on the route. This ticket costs approximately €20 for adults and €10 for children under 16, making it a good option if you plan to explore the city with your family.

Purchasing the pass and using it to travel between excursions will save you money, as a single ticket on the city's public transport bus for non-residents costs approximately £1.50 per journey. What's more, with the City Sightseeing tourist bus, you won't have to worry about delays, as it runs every half hour at most.

The tourist bus will also be useful and save you time during the high season and during the months when the city hosts fairs. If you plan to visit Cadiz in October, which is when there are the most events on the Cadiz coast and public transport becomes congested, you can travel with peace of mind with the City Sightseeing pass while also saving money at restaurants that offer discounts.

Bear in mind that if you purchase the tourist pass, you will also have access to a one-hour guided tour of the main sites in the historic centre of Cádiz completely free of charge, so you will also be saving on these excursions, which cost approximately £15 per visitor.

Unlike the hop-on hop-off tourist buses in other cities, the one in Cadiz only offers tours during the day, between 10:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., so you will not be able to use it at night. However, the service schedule coincides with that of the attractions near the established stops, so it will not interfere with your visits.

In addition, the bus takes an hour to complete the entire route along the Cadiz coast and passes each stop every half hour at most to pick up tourists. Please note that the validity period of your pass begins from the first use and is counted in calendar days, not hours, so I advise you to use it early in the morning to get the most out of it.

The Cadiz tourist bus and its daytime timetable with unlimited stops will also be useful if you are planning a short stay in the city, as you can optimise your travel time between each of your excursions. If this is the case, here is a list of activities you can see and do to discover Cadiz in 3 days

The Cádiz tourist bus pass is activated from the first use and from that moment on, the 2 days of validity begin, but it is counted in days, not hours, so I advise you to use it early in the morning so that you can get the most out of your purchase.

Please note that the Cádiz tourist bus has a single route that includes 14 stops at the main sites in the city, although you can use the service as many times as you like during the validity period of the pass. During this period, with your printed or electronic ticket, you can also take advantage of discounts at the attractions and restaurants included in the information brochure.

You can purchase the pass online, and I recommend doing so in advance so that you can plan your itinerary, especially if you are planning to take any of the excursions from Cádiz to nearby cities such as Jerez de la Frontera, Gibraltar, Tarifa, or the white villages route.

Please also note that the Cadiz tourist bus pass includes a one-hour guided tour of the old town, so you can see one of the city's main attractions for free. You can also take the full tour to get the best panoramic views of the city by visiting all 14 stops without getting off at any of them.

The answer will depend on your travel plans and the route you want to take around the city, but Cadiz is a destination with many attractions in different locations, so if you intend to visit most of them and save time and money, the hop-on hop-off tourist bus will be the best option, because you can also relax during the transfer between each of the excursions and get discounts.

Also bear in mind that if you plan to spend the summer on the coast of Cádiz, the tourist bus will take you to several of the city's main beaches, not only those in the centre, but also those in the south in the Carranza bridge area, so it will also be useful for visiting the more remote seaside resorts.
