Reina Sofia Museum: Home to Picasso's 'Guernica’

Visit this stunning museum located in the heart of Madrid, Spain. Renowned for its outstanding collection of modern and contemporary art. It is home to masterpieces by iconic artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, and Joan Miró, the Reina Sofia Museum invites you on a journey through the evolution of 20th-century art.

Things to know before booking your tickets to Reina Sofia

  • If your agenda includes exploring multiple museums, the Combo ticket is invaluable. It combines museum entries with a hop-on-hop-off bus tour, offering a vibrant blend of art and city exploration. This is perfect if you're keen to see Madrid's iconic sites along with enjoying art at the Reina Sofia, Prado, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums. The flexibility of using the museum pass within a year allows for multiple trips or spaced-out visits.
  • To deeply engage with the artworks, consider the Guided Tour options. The specialized tours, whether focused on Reina Sofia alone or combined with the Prado, provide expert commentary that enriches your understanding of the art and its historical context. These tours are especially beneficial if you're eager to learn about the nuances of Spanish art and its global influences.
  • For a more intimate experience, the Small-Group or Private Guided Tour limits participants, ensuring personal attention and the opportunity to delve deeper into discussions about specific artworks. This is ideal for those who prefer a quieter visit with space to enjoy the art without the crowd.
  • Many museums offer free entry during certain hours. Plan your visit accordingly to take advantage of these times. For example, the Reina Sofia Museum offers free entry in the evenings and on Sunday afternoons. This is a great option for budget-conscious travelers or those making multiple visits.
  • Keep in mind that flash photography, tripods, and selfie sticks are banned across the museums to protect the artworks. Guernica and other specific areas restrict photography entirely, so prepare to enjoy the art without your camera at times.
  • Large bags or luggage larger than 30 x 30 cm aren’t allowed inside. If you carry a small backpack, you’ll need to wear it in front to protect the artworks and avoid inconveniencing other visitors.
  • Food and drinks are not allowed inside the museum, as there are already several dining options available along with specific areas for their consumption. Carrying water is duly justified in the case of pregnant women, guests with special needs, and anyone who may be sick.
  • The Reina Sofia Museum has two annexes located within the sprawling Buen Retiro Park, a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. After you've explored the main museum, head to the Palacio de Velázquez and Palacio de Cristal for a tranquil change of pace. These exhibition halls made of glass and iron house temporary exhibits of modern and contemporary art. Take a stroll through the manicured gardens or rent a rowboat on the lake for a relaxing break in the heart of Madrid.

A life changing experience. Guernica and the crying mothers drawings made me cry. The lovely guard allowed me to sit and draw and truly live with the painting. So many great Miro works lifted my spirits.
