Good place with nice view of madrid.
The acess to tower is easy there near metro station thenjust need to
Walk few minutes until tower.! In my opinion a place likes should be selling souviniers and staff should talk in english which very bad all over madrid very hard find staff talking english in a city with so many tourists.

It is curious to be able to see Madrid from so high. There is a map that shows you the main buildings in Madrid visible from the lighthouse viewpoint. I recommend visiting this attraction if you know Madrid well to be able to locate the buildings, see Madrid from another perspective and be curious to see how much you know (or don't) Madrid. If you go with friends, family or as a couple, you can "do a challenge" of who recognizes the most buildings or locations before looking at the map. If you don't know Madrid (or barely), the views are fine but nothing more, you don't make much sense of it. Glass elevator and the climb is long so it is not recommended for those who suffer from claustrophobia or vertigo. Wheelchair accessible. It can be accessed with children.

It's very easy to get to the place (metro 3 or 6 to Moncloa station). There was no lineup when we went there, I wouldn't buy a ticket in advance. The views are amazing from up there. The place has a lot of potential, maybe they should open a small coffee shop or a bar up there that you can enjoy while looking out at the city below.

The visit to the lighthouse was very interesting and the ticket very cheap. You directly visit the final floor, circular in shape, where you arrive with a rapid elevator, with a glass part. From the lighthouse window you can admire the panorama of the city and read signs with explanations. NB everything is indoors and indoors and access to the outside is prohibited.

This was such a hidden gem & so reasonably priced. It only cost four euros to go up a glass elevator & see spectacular views of Madrid resulting in some great photos. There aren’t many amenities in the immediate vicinity so you have to walk 5-10 mins for a drink or food but it’s well worth the trip & highly recommended.

It is ideal to see Madrid from another perspective, from above you can see the emblematic buildings and they guide you to locate them. It costs €4 for regular people and you can be there for 30 minutes maximum, it also has a service area. Recommended to go up to the Moncloa lighthouse.

Amazing views of Madrid. Go around lunch time as it seems that there were little people at that time. Also there is no parking, so you will have to park in the street. This is also next to the Museo de las Americas which will make a 2-in-1 trip visit. Recommended.

If you like viewpoints when you arrive in a city, this visit is a must since it is a 110 meter high tower which you access on a 92 meter high tour in a panoramic elevator!
The entrance only costs €4. Being at the top you can practically see the ENTIRE city, take beautiful photos and see miniature replicas of how the city and its buildings have advanced.

This panoramic visit of all of Madrid is worth it. Through panels in front of the views they inform you of what is in front of you. An almost 360-degree panoramic view. For 4 euros you have a very complete panoramic view of all of Madrid. Highly recommended.

Great views of most of the City, including Lago to SW and Financial District towers to NE. Very safe for kids as numbers are controlled to prevent overcrowding. Very reasonable cost at €4 (€2 for concessions). Lift takes less than 1 minute. Entrance close to Moncloa Metro Station, Line 3.
