Getting the tickets with Headout was easy. Getting entry to the Padro not so much. I showed the page with the scan codes to the entry agent and they told me to go to another line. After waiting in line and speaking with a ticket agent I had to speak with another agent. That agent wanted a pdf of the email I was sent with the scan codes. After going through all my emails from Headout, I was finally able to get my tickets to to Padro. Getting into the Thysseen Bornemisza was easy. I just showed them the page with the scan codes and we were in. Entry to the Reina Sofia was similar to the Padro. Having been to many of the best museums I found the Padro to be a confusing Warren of little rooms with no flow between rooms. The Thyssen Bornemisza was our favorite. We felt the galleries flowed and it show cased different artists dabbling in each other's style.

Anna Christina was a wonderful guide for the Reina Sofia. I learnt so much. Finding Anna Christina was tricky though as the instructions need to be updated to explain the meeting point is inside the museum entrance by the library and that the entrance only opens at 10am.

I preferred the visit to the Prado Museum because it was set up differently albeit by the same guide. It was also richer in information about the historical and cultural background of the time when the works were created. The first part at the Reina Sofia museum, I found the museum's reception of the group poorly organized, with lots of downtime. The guide in presenting the works gave so much space for open-ended questions to the group about the feelings the paintings conveyed that I found it scattershot. The guide's knowledge of the works was impeccable.
