The 15 Cadiz Tours Locals Point You To

1.City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 753 reviews · 2 days · from $32Our pick

Ride an open-top double-decker around Cádiz’s port, walled old quarter and beaches on a 75-minute loop. Get on or off at stops including the cathedral, La Caleta and Plaza de España, and use the multilingual audio guide for context. Your two-day ticket also includes local discounts and tastings, but attraction admission is extra.

“My 1st experience with both GYG & hopon/hopoff and overall it was a good experience and a less expensive experience to that offered through the cruise line. One suggestion would be to bring your own antibacterial wipes to clean your seats and seat belts and handrails because it's obvious these buses are not sanitized once the day begins. Just my opinion.”
