City Sightseeing Savings Guide
Make the most of your sightseeing budget by comparing ticket durations, included experiences, route coverage, and destination-specific offers before booking.
Choose the Ticket That Matches Your Plans
- Select a shorter ticket when you only have one day available.
- Consider a 48-hour or 72-hour ticket when you want more time to explore at your own pace.
- Review what each ticket includes, as longer options may add walking tours, museums, live guided tours, bike rides, or access to additional routes.
Use Hop-On Hop-Off Access Fully
Hop on and off as often as you like at stops along the route. Plan stops near the attractions you want to visit, then rejoin the bus when you are ready to continue exploring.
- Use the bus to connect major sights without arranging separate transportation between every stop.
- Ride the complete route first to get an overview of the city, then return to the places you want to explore in greater detail.
- Check the number of routes and stops available for your chosen destination before booking.
Look for Included Experiences
Some City Sightseeing tickets include additional activities or attraction benefits. Check the destination’s ticket details to see whether your package includes extras such as guided walking tours, museums, bike rides, or attraction discounts.
For example, selected Dublin tickets include a free walking tour, while 48-hour and 72-hour options can include a choice of museums. The 72-hour option can also include a sightseeing bike tour and live guided tour.
Take Advantage of Family Offers
Family conditions vary by destination, so review the booking details before purchasing. In Dublin, one child aged 3–12 travels free for every two paying adults.
Check Destination-Specific Discounts
Some destination tickets include discounts or special offers from participating attractions, restaurants, and experiences. In Seville, the official ticket information lists savings and benefits at selected venues, including discounts at museums and other local experiences.
- Review the “Discounts and offers” section for your destination.
- Check any time restrictions, participating locations, or redemption conditions.
- Use included benefits during your sightseeing day to increase the value of your ticket.
Book With Flexibility in Mind
City Sightseeing offers flexible vouchers on selected tours, with some tickets valid for 12 months. Many listed tours also offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the chosen travel date. Check the specific terms for your selected destination and ticket.
Use a Mobile Voucher
Selected tours accept mobile or paper vouchers. Keeping the voucher on your smartphone can make boarding more convenient and help you avoid printing costs.
Plan Around Your Destination
- Review operating hours and seasonal timetables before visiting.
- Identify stops near the sights you want to see.
- Check whether your ticket covers one route or multiple routes.
- Allow time for included walking tours, museums, or other activities.
- Confirm accessibility and other travel requirements before booking.
Compare Value Before You Buy
Prices, inclusions, family offers, cancellation terms, and available routes vary by destination. Compare the available ticket options on the relevant City Sightseeing destination page so you can choose the package that best fits your itinerary.
