The route lasts approximately one hour.

The Gijón City Tour has one bus that allows us to offer the service once an hour.

You can board the bus at any of our stops. If you don’t already have a ticket, you can buy one on board.

The Gijón City Tour route is circular, meaning you can return to the bus stop where you caught the bus or to any other stop at any time.

We inform about the service disruptions, we recommend you visit the website the specific day you are going to use the service.

Yes, all our buses have an automatic audio guide in 7 languages: Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Asturian. A special audio-guide for children is also provided. You will be given a free headset when you buy your ticket and all you have to do is choose the right channel to listen to.

Our bus has access ramps and space for two wheelchairs inside the vehicle.

Unfortunately, you can only board the bus with a valid ticket, and its loss or theft does not give rise to any entitlement to replacement or refund. Not other forms of payment receipt or reused vouchers are accepted. Once you have acquired your ticket, you must keep it, as you must be able to show it both when boarding the bus and during routine checks. It is the customer’s responsibility to prove that he or she has been supplied with a ticket and, if this has not happened, to ask for one from our on-board staff when making the purchase.
