Teleférico de Madrid - Tour Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"What’s the big picture here? Madrid Teleférico is a cable car service that connects both sides of Madrid, crossing the river and helping locals avoid rush-hour traffic on their morning and evening commutes. It also appeals to tourists looking to get a bird's-eye view of the city, or to get a new perspective on Madrid—especially its green spaces and architecture. Who all rides the cable car? This is a vital mode of transit for locals commuting to work. You'll also see photo-snapping tourists and some families; after all, on the other side of the river is Casa de Campo , an amusement park and zoo. Where should we put this on our list trip priorities? There are more important things to do in Madrid than ride this aerial tram, so save this for the end of your visit—after you've familiarized yourself with the different neighborhoods." - Ramsey Qubein
