It worked well as promised. But once we are here, we realized that with senior citizen discounts, it would have cost us much less probably less than half, to visit all three museums. Well, you learn and live.
The Paseo del Arte pass allows you to visit three of Madrid’s best museums with a single ticket that is valid for one year after purchase. With this pass, you can visit the Prado Museum, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, and the Reina Sofía Museum.
The Prado Museum hosts work by the greatest Spanish artists and a notable collection of works by masters from Italy, the Netherlands, and others from all over the world. Its collections are the legacy of almost 200 years of collecting by the 16th and 17th-century Spanish kings and queens.
The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is ideally situated opposite the Prado and very close to the Reina Sofía Modern Art Museum. At the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, you'll have access to the permanent collection that was once the property of Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza. It is an eclectic combination of German Renaissance art, 17th-century Dutch art, Impressionism, German Expressionism, Russian Constructivism and Pop Art. The museum's collection holds about 1,000 works, from Renaissance to modern art.
The Reina Sofía Museum of modern and contemporary art features works produced from the beginning of the 1900s to today. See famous anti-war painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso, as well as numerous works by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Juan Gris, Joan Miro, Julio González, and many others.
