Madrid Teleférico
Information
The Madrid Cable Car offers residents of Madrid and tourists the chance to fly over the city and gaze from the air at the most historical, as well as the greenest, parts of Madrid. Monumental buildings, highways, parks and gardens are at your feet, offering one of the most evocative views of the city.
The Cable Car, which has been managed by the EMT Municipal Transport Company since Jan 2018, has 80 cabins that each fit 6 passengers. Carrying up to 1200 people per hour, it travels at 3.5 metres per second and takes 11 minutes to complete the journey between the two stations.
Casa de Campo, a huge park in the west of the city is a great place to go for a picnic or a long bike ride. It is also home to Parque de Atraccciones amusement park, and the Zoo Aquarium, one of the most important zoos in the world with animals from every continent.
