Tourist discount cards of Madrid

I’ll tell you about every tourist card in Madrid so you can choose the right one for you.

If you’re too lazy to read the post to the end, here’s my conclusion. Choosing a City Card for Madrid depends on your individual preferences, route, and travel style. The Madrid All-Inclusive Pass is the best choice if you want to visit as many attractions and events as possible. The Madrid Explorer Pass is suitable if you enjoy leisurely city walks and want to see specific attractions. In my opinion, the Madrid Pass by Tiqets is not worth the money compared to the Madrid All-Inclusive Pass and the Madrid Explorer Pass.
