The route
What You See on the 90-Minute Tuk Tuk Tour in Madrid
The Highlights covers everything on the 1-hour Classics, 20 places, and then turns east onto the Paseo del Prado.
New on this tour: The Paseo del Prado, Madrid's Landscape of Light
This stretch runs the length of the Paseo del Prado, which UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2021 as the “Landscape of Light.” You ride past the “golden triangle” of art — the Museo del Prado, open since 1819, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofía, home of Picasso's Guernica — with the Fuente de Neptuno, where Atlético de Madrid celebrates, the CaixaForum vertical garden, the Real Jardín Botánico and Atocha station. You also pass San Jerónimo el Real, where royal weddings were held before the Almudena, and the Casón del Buen Retiro.
Stops: Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Fuente de Neptuno, Paseo del Prado, Jardín vertical de CaixaForum, Museo Reina Sofía, Estación de Atocha, Real Jardín Botánico, Museo del Prado, Real Academia Española, Iglesia de San Jerónimo el Real, Casón del Buen Retiro.
Before the museums
The first hour is the old city: Royal Madrid around the palace, then the Rastro quarter, the Barrio de las Letras and the Congreso.
Every stop on this route and on the longer ones is listed in our Madrid tuk tuk route guide.

Who it suits
Who the 90-Minute Tour Is Best For
This is the step that adds Madrid's art mile. It suits travelers who want the museums on their route without giving up a full two hours.
Half a morning or afternoon
An hour and a half covers old Madrid and the museum mile in one ride, leaving the rest of your day free to go inside whichever museum you liked.
Planning which museum to visit
See all three from the tuk tuk first, hear what's inside each, then pick one. We'll tell you the free hours as you pass.
What 90 minutes adds
The Paseo del Prado: Madrid's Landscape of Light
The extra half-hour over the 1-hour tour buys you the Paseo del Prado, which UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2021 as the “Landscape of Light.” On the 90-minute tuk tuk tour in Madrid you ride its full length, past the Prado (open since 1819), the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofía, home of Picasso's Guernica, with the Neptuno fountain, the CaixaForum vertical garden and the Botanical Garden.
You see the museums from the tuk tuk; entry is not part of the tour. If you plan to go in afterwards, two local notes save you trouble: the Prado is free in its last two hours (18:00–20:00 Monday to Saturday, 17:00–19:00 on Sundays), and the Reina Sofía is closed on Tuesdays. For Retiro and Gran Vía as well, step up to the 2-hour Essentials tour.
Straight with you
The Full 90-Minute Tour, Start to Finish
Ninety minutes covers two very different sides of Madrid. Here's how we make sure you get all of it.
The full hour and a half
Your Highlights tour runs the full 90 minutes, past all 31 places. On the wide Paseo del Prado you ride past the museums at an easy pace; in the old center's lanes, where vehicles can't stop, you take pictures from the moving tuk tuk.
Nobody squeezed in
€119 is for the whole tuk tuk and its 4 belted passenger seats. If you're 5 or more, a second tuk tuk rides the same route at the same time, so nobody misses the museums. Children ride at no extra cost.

Questions
Highlights Tour: Your Questions
Still deciding? Ask us anything before you book.
Ask on WhatsAppDoes the 90-minute tour include the Prado?
Yes — you ride the full Paseo del Prado past the Prado, the Thyssen and the Reina Sofía. You see them from the tuk tuk; museum entry is sold separately, so the tour passes but does not go inside.
What does the 90-minute tour add over the 1-hour tour?
Eleven more places on the Paseo del Prado — the Prado, the Thyssen and the Reina Sofía, plus the Neptuno fountain, the CaixaForum garden, the Real Jardín Botánico and Atocha — all on Madrid's UNESCO 'Landscape of Light.'
Can we go into the museums on the tour?
No. The tuk tuk passes the museums so you can see them and decide which to visit later. Tickets are sold by each museum; the Prado has free hours at the end of the day and the Reina Sofía closes on Tuesdays.
Does the 90-minute tour reach Retiro Park?
Not quite — Retiro starts on the 2-hour Essentials. The 90-minute route ends at the top of the Paseo del Prado, by the Botanical Garden and San Jerónimo.
Is the 90-minute tour good for planning a museum visit?
Very. You see all three museums of the 'golden triangle' from the tuk tuk first and hear what is inside each, so you can pick one to visit and walk straight back to it.
How much is the 90-minute tour for 2, 3 or 4 people?
€119 for the whole tuk tuk, so €29.75 each for four, €39.67 for three and €59.50 for two. One price covers up to 4 people.
