The TelefĂ©rico is Madrid’s spectacular cable car experience. Both locals and tourists enjoy the opportunity of soaring high above the city and looking down on some of its most historic buildings and greenest neighborhoods. Towering structures, an intricate grid of roads and pathways, lush green parks, and colorful gardens are laid out below in one of the most breathtaking perspectives of the city.
Originally built as part of an amusement park, the cable cars offer up views over the tree tops and take visitors straight into the heart of Casa de Campo. The eighty cabins carry their passengers the 1.5 miles between TelefĂ©rico’s two stations in 11 minutes, reaching a maximum height of 130 feet above the ground.
