About
The city's Christmas bus, running every holiday season since 2006. An open-top bus loops past Puerta de Alcalá, Serrano and Plaza de Colón, all lit up for the holidays. Kids see the lights from the top deck without pushing through crowds on foot. Dress warm: there's no roof, and December evenings get cold once you're moving.
