Madrid museum tickets: one pass for the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen
Book the Art Walk Pass, Madrid's Paseo del Arte ticket, and see the city's three great art museums with one booking: the Museo del Prado, the Museo Reina Sofía and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. Known together as the Golden Triangle of Art, they sit within a short walk of each other along the Paseo del Prado, so it is easy to plan one museum a day or two in a single afternoon. The pass costs less than buying the three museum tickets separately and is valid for one year from purchase, with one entry to each museum.
It is the simplest way to buy museum tickets in Madrid if you want the big names covered before you arrive, from Velázquez and Goya to Picasso, Dalí, Van Gogh and Monet.
What you can see in each museum
Museo del Prado: more than 8,000 works, including Velázquez's Las Meninas, Goya's Black Paintings and masterpieces by El Greco and Murillo. Your pass includes the permanent collection and some temporary exhibitions.
Museo Reina Sofía: Spain's national museum of modern and contemporary art, home to Picasso's Guernica and key works by Dalí and Miró. The permanent collection and some temporary exhibitions are included.
Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza: a private collection spanning around 700 years of European art, from 13th and 14th century painting to Impressionists and modern masters such as Van Gogh and Monet. The permanent collection is included; temporary exhibitions are not.
How the Paseo del Arte pass works
After booking, you receive a digital ticket on your phone. At the Thyssen-Bornemisza you show it and go straight in. At the Prado and the Reina Sofía, exchange your voucher at the museum ticket office first, then head to the entrance. The pass skips the ticket queue, but you still go through the usual security checks. Visit the museums in any order and on different days if you like, as long as you use each entry within the year.
Bring a valid photo ID that matches the name on your booking in case it is requested. Food and drink are not allowed inside the galleries, and tripods, selfie sticks and flash photography are prohibited at all three museums. Each museum has a café if you need a break. All three venues are wheelchair accessible, and guide dogs are welcome. Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Please note that these tickets cannot be cancelled, amended or refunded once booked.
Planning your art day in Madrid
The Prado is the biggest of the three, so allow at least two to three hours there, and an hour or two each for the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen. The Reina Sofía is near Atocha station, the Prado sits in the middle of the Paseo del Prado, and the Thyssen faces the Neptune fountain, so you can walk between them in 10 to 15 minutes.
