After a quick inquiry about where to exchange the digital tickets for paper ones—which had been mentioned when purchasing tickets for the Prado—we had to walk past a very long queue of people to a counter. With only two people ahead of us, a friendly lady handed us our admission tickets after an estimated five minutes, to our delight. Everything was straightforward and worked out very well. Highly recommended!

Very well-kept museum, with wonderful paintings beautifully showcased, and an interesting, practical audio guide. Too bad some of the museum's rooms were undergoing maintenance. Paintings by Picasso, Dalí, Miró, and others are an absolute must-see, above all Guernica.

Got in easily without waiting, beautiful museum with famous artists, and quick to explore. For anyone who wants to visit a museum without spending the whole day.

No issues using it, and when you see how long the lines are, you're glad to skip them. More time to visit the museum, less fatigue...

Our experience in the museum was amazing! I also really liked the application "Dex" where we could listen to the story behind the painting however it was not applicable for all of the paintings but there were still an amount of them. It was really great and I really suggest you too have an audio guidance with you.

Easy to get into thyssen. They scanned the bar code. Was surprised to have to queue at the Prado to get a ticket. I assumed when I booked this I would avoid a ticket line. Both museums excellent.
