Why this place

The sightseeing bus is a practical way to connect several places when you would rather leave the driving to someone else. It links city and peninsula stops, so you can use it to build a day around the places you most want to see. The open upper deck gives a good view along the coast, while the route itself helps explain how the city fits together.

Read the current route and final departure times before buying a ticket. Choose your main stop first, then check how much time remains for another. Pack a warm layer and sun protection for the open deck, and keep the timetable accessible on your phone. Attraction entry and halal meals need their own planning.
