I was really looking forward to visiting this museum, especially to see *Guernica*, but it turned out to be a complete surprise. First, I should mention that thanks to the signs at the entrance, I learned that the main façade isn’t the entrance, so that’s an important point. Once you enter, you’re greeted by the grandeur of the lobby, and in my case, when I started my visit on the second floor, I discovered one of the paintings that truly amazed me, “Un mundo,” though I was later pleasantly surprised to find several paintings by women—truly beautiful works that I loved. Another room worth noting is the one dedicated to photojournalists like Capa, who risked their lives during the Civil War to document that suffering. There’s so much to see and enjoy in this museum—you could easily spend hours there.

Our guide, Gabi, was very warm, welcoming and knowledgeble. She was a delight to listen to (excellent English) as we made our way through the Reina Sofia. She paced the tour perfectly, giving us a nice amount of time to learn about Guernica at the end.

Easy access, a spacious venue that made the visit enjoyable despite the large number of visitors, given the time of year. Wonderful works of art that you can take your time to appreciate without feeling the need to make room for others. Highly recommended

The entry was fast and easy. The staff directed me to the temporary exhibit floor. The exhibition was amazing - Aurèlia Muñoz - for me as a weaver and fiber artist. I visited some of my favorites after that. I left fulfilled and content.

The Reina Sofía Museum is one of those rare places where every gallery tells a story, every painting sparks curiosity, and every step leaves a lasting impression. Some places don't just display art—they make you feel it. Visiting the museum with my wife was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Walking through its remarkable collection of modern and contemporary art was both inspiring and emotional. The highlight, without a doubt, was standing before Picasso's Guernica. Seeing this masterpiece in person is an experience that words can hardly describe—its scale, emotion, and historical significance are simply overwhelming. What made the visit even more special was sharing it together. We wandered through the galleries at our own pace, exchanging thoughts, discovering new artists, and appreciating how art has the power to connect people and create unforgettable memories. If you're in Madrid, don't just visit the Reina Sofía Museum—immerse yourself in it. It's far more than a museum; it's an experience that will stay with you long after you've left.
