The bus passes are so much cheaper than constantly hailing taxis, and the stops are conveniently located everywhere you’ll want to go. Many tour companies and agencies will offer their own hop-on hop-off buses, make sure to check how frequently they make the rounds. A good wait time is between 15 and 30 minutes, and the bus should connect to a metro stop to make it easy for you to get home.
Aside from the obvious transportation benefits, an added bonus is the for-free commentary – just bring a set of headphones and listen to the provided audio tour. You don’t need to pay a guide when you can get it for free on your bus!
