I really enjoyed the museums. It’s a great option—this kind of combined ticket. First of all, you skip the lines everywhere and go straight into the museum. Second, being able to choose your own visit date is very convenient. That’s exactly how it turned out for me. I had planned to visit all of them in one day. But the Prado was so interesting that I spent a lot of time there and decided to visit the other museums later. That’s why this ticket option is so convenient

The single-ticket experience was great—no lines at all, except at the Prado, where you still have to exchange it. I was lucky enough to never have to wait in line since I went on a weekday, even though I was with a child under 18 who needed a free ticket.

The Prado Museum is magnificent. The Reina Sofia is modern art, so I didn't like everything, but the space in front of *Guernica* is big enough for everyone to enjoy it without having to elbow their way through. The audio guide isn’t that interesting—not enough information about the painter, the work, the context, etc.—and too many comments like “magnificent,” “revolutionary,” “outside the box,” etc. Thyssen: Not on par with the other two; a profusion of works by minor artists, with a few minor works by major artists. If you don’t have it included in a package and you’re not a painting enthusiast, it’s best to skip it.

It was chaotic because it wasn't clear that I had to download the tickets; I thought the ticket they sent me was more than enough. When I arrived at the museum, they asked me for the tickets, and it turned out I didn't have internet, so it took a lot of effort and time to get connected. Plus, there was the scare that I might have been scammed, but luckily I was able to download them and enjoy the beautiful museum 👍🏻

I loved how the Thyssen museum complemented the Prado perfectly. The collection was incredibly diverse, from Renaissance paintings to modern art, and the layout made it easy to enjoy each room without feeling overwhelmed. Some of the Impressionist and modern pieces were especially memorable, and the atmosphere of the museum was calm and elegant. It was a great way to experience different periods of European art in one visit.”

A great way to skip the lines, which are absolutely crazy, especially during long weekends and holidays. The museum staff are poorly informed and don’t know that guided tours in Italian are available—it’s a shame I only found out after the tour, directly from a young woman who works as an Italian tour guide.

Check out the greatest hits of the art world with full-access tickets to Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, the world’s second-largest private art collection.

Explore seven centuries of European art, from the Renaissance to Pop Art, by Caravaggio, Picasso, and more, all under one roof.

Discover iconic works from the Dutch and American schools, plus avant-garde movements like Surrealism and Expressionism.

Opt for the audio guide, guided tour, or the Art Walk pass for deeper insights into the museum’s most celebrated pieces.
