About the attraction
Choose the sightseeing bus if you want to combine several Santa Cruz districts and landmarks with minimal transport planning. A 24-hour pass is enough for a one-day overview, while 48 hours makes more sense if you plan to stop for museums, markets, parks, shopping or longer meals. The commentary also gives first-time visitors more context than ordinary public transport.
Who is it for
Best for first-time Santa Cruz visitors, cruise passengers, families, short city-break travellers and anyone staying in the capital without a rental car. The 48-hour option particularly suits visitors who want to explore at a relaxed pace rather than treating the route as one continuous bus ride.
Who should skip it
Skip this if you only need point-to-point transport, already know Santa Cruz well, or want a guided excursion beyond the capital. This is a city sightseeing route, not an island tour to Teide, Anaga or the southern resorts. Museum and attraction admissions are not included unless your selected voucher explicitly says otherwise.
What to expect
Board at an operating City Sightseeing stop; Plaza de España is currently listed as the main starting-point address.

You can remain onboard for the panoramic route or hop off at selected stops and rejoin later while your 24- or 48-hour pass remains valid. Recorded commentary, a children’s audio guide and headphones are included.

The service currently offers commentary in multiple languages. Exact route, stop availability and operating times can change with traffic, road closures and events, so check the current map and timetable on the day.

The buses are listed as wheelchair accessible and mobile tickets are accepted.
