Do you want to appreciate Madrid even more? With the Paseo del Arte Card you can jump the rope and enjoy quick access to three of Madrid's best art museums: the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen. They are all close together and form what is known as the Golden Triangle of Art, an area of the highest concentration of art in Europe.

Explore the permanent collection of the Thyssen and Prado, plus some temporary exhibitions at both the Prado and Reina Sofia.

Thyssen:

The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, or simply the Thyssen, houses an extraordinary private collection of predominantly European art whose history began in the 1920s. Inside there are works by great names and movements: Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Romanticism, Pop Art... There is also a fascinating collection of medieval art from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. A truly unique cultural journey (attention: temporary exhibitions of the Thyssen are not included).

Prado:

Head to the popular Paseo del Prado and step inside what is one of the largest art galleries in the world. The size and scope of the Prado are truly remarkable. There you will find masters of the caliber of Raphael, Rubens and Bosch, just to name a few. But perhaps you'll want to start with his most famous painting, velazquez's large "Las Meninas," which shows Princess Margarita and her two ladies-in-waiting, along with the artist himself complete with palette and brush. Don't miss Goya's evocative works, including the famous "Maja desnuda", so controversial at the time it was made that it was taken to court for obscenity.

Reina Sofia:

This splendid building dedicated to Queen Sofia houses works of art of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It was enriched in 2005 by a modern extension designed by the architect French Jean Nouvel, a work worth 92 million euros. There are about 20,000 masterpieces kept here, signed by both Spanish and international artists. Don't miss Picasso's "Guernica", the most famous anti-war painting in the world, as well as works by Braque, Mirò and about twenty pieces by Salvador Dalí.
