The Naviluz bus returns this Christmas to Madrid and it does it consolidated almost as a tradition in the capital to admire, at a leisurely pace and in a group, the spectacular Christmas lighting of the city center.
Between November 23, 2025 and January 6, 2026 (except on December 24 and 31 and January 5), dozens of panoramic buses will tour the most illuminated arteries of the capital, Gran Vía, Alcalá, Serrano or Paseo del Prado, showing the best side of Christmas in Madrid.
The Naviluz leaves from Felipe IV Street (next to the Prado Museum) and arrives at Plaza Cánovas del Castillo, in a circular route of about 50 minutes where travelers can see, from the heights, the lights of the Puerta de Alcalá, Cibeles, Colón, Callao, Plaza de España and many other areas transformed for the occasion.
