From the moment we walked in the door until we left we were amazed by the artwork on all floors and the Proust exhibition. The staff were all so friendly and helpful and lunch at the restaurant was also great so all in all we had a awesome visit. The layout of the galleries is brilliant, allows for a methodical perusal with no feelings of having missed out on something. Thanks for a memorable visit

The collection is awesome. The Proust exhibition was very good. but the audiostory with the Proust exhibition was not so interesting. Pleas pay attention to this. Let actors speak the texts and give more special information. Make people interested by the audiotext. Now it is too little and not so interesting

Getting in and having special access was fundamental to enjoying the tour and avoiding the long queues at the door. Avoiding the long queues was the highlight of choosing to buy the tickets through the APP, the ease of purchase, the quick turnaround and the communications too. Just one observation: the tour is long and it's practically impossible to do it all in one day. Another important point of this ticket is the possibility of visiting any day within a year and on any day of the week and at any time. However, this is good for those who can be in Madrid for more days and organize their schedule. That's fantastic!

We started at Tysenn. Everything went very smoothly, the accreditation and the entrance. Not so in the Pardo (the second visit) where there was the main queue and a second shorter queue (20' wait) to accredit the QR code. With the Reina Sofia we finally had a second shorter queue, but as there were less visitors there were a couple of minutes of waiting.

I bought the tickets thinking I'd be able to get on and off at the places I wanted (HOP ON/OFF), but all I got was misleading advertising. The place to catch the bus was also not the most central or suitable for those on foot. It was worth the driver giving me some tips on how to get around Madrid by bus for free.

The ride and the audio guide were very good. What was not good was that there was no indication at the time of booking that there are currently no more hop-on hop-off tours in Madrid, only panoramic tours without stops. It was therefore not possible to get on the bus near our hotel as we had intended, so we had to ask around and walk to the starting point at the Prado MUSEUM.

1) I was confused when I got to the venue as to why I didn't already have a ticket. At one of the venues, the ticket office person initially rejected it as a valid voucher. I had to explain to her that it was. 2) the tour groups at the Prado make the experience impossible to enjoy for independent travelers. You should try to reserve certain hours of the day when tour groups aren't allowed to operate. They monopolize all the masterpieces.

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum highlights
St. Catherine of Alexandria
Situated at the intersection of baroque and naturalist styles, Caravaggio’s portrait of St. Catherine of Alexandria shows a woman kneeling on a red cushion. The woman in the portrait is associated with Fillide Melandroni, one of Rome’s most coveted courtesans, who frequently modelled for Caravaggio in the 4th century.
Giovanna degli Albizzi Tornabuoni
Domenico Ghirlandaio’s portrait of Giovanna degli Albizzi Tornabuoni is emblematic of classical antiquity, drawn in typical Quattrocento style. The idealized extremely delicate features of the model with a prayer book and rosary with coral beads in the background is indicative of her pious and noblewoman character.
Les Vessenots
True to his Post-Impressionist roots, Vincent Van Gogh painted a few trees, simple cottages, and yellow and green wheat fields in his ‘Les Vessenots’ in Auvers in 1890. His nervous brushstrokes represent a sense of freedom and vitality intermingled with feelings of loneliness in the last few years of his life.
Jesus Among the Doctors
Albrecht Durer’s ‘Jesus Among the Doctors’ signaled the arrival of new ideas from northern Europe. The portrait shows Jesus’s first act of sharing theological sermons at the age of 12. Durer brings forward the ideals of harmony, beauty, and perfection found in Italian art and blends them with the German way of seeing the world.
Waterloo Bridge
The most unique element in André Derain’s 1906 painting is the mosaic effect achieved through pointillist techniques. In true Fauvist style, Derain captured the banks of the Thames River in shades of blue, purple, grey, and green, only bringing out pops of yellow and orange to depict sunlight.
Young Knight in a Landscape
Vittore Carpaccio's ‘Young Knight in a Landscape’ depicts a full-length portrait of a young knight almost about to draw his sword. The vibrant colors and magical mood in the background are in contrast to Carpaccio's love for detail. The flora and fauna allude to the virtues a young knight must embody to rise through the ranks.
Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon
Camilla Pissaro captured the edge of Théâtre Français (now known as Place André-Malraux) and rue Saint-Honoré in this 1897 oil painting. It depicts buildings, people, and street lamps after receiving a shower of rain. It marked Pissaro’s shift from pointillist techniques to Impressionist styles.
Harlequin with a Mirror
Pablo Picasso’s 1923 ‘Harlequin with a Mirror’ is assumed to be a self-portrait drawn in circus and commedia dell’arte style. The figure wears a harlequin’s two-cornered hat and an acrobat’s costume. The figure has distinct classical proportions that Picasso adapted in his paintings after 1917.
Mata Mua
‘Mata Mua’, literally meaning Olden Times, is Paul Gaugin’s effort to flee from everything artificial and conventional. The 1891 painting depicts the Tahiti moon goddess, Hina in flat colors. The painting is simple with followers surrounding the portrait of goddess Hina, engaged in her worship.

Everything was wonderful. We were even treated to a military parade while waiting in line. Thank you for assisting us with rescheduling our ticket dare after a death in the family causing a change in our family plans. We are very grateful to the staff!

The layout of the galleries is brilliant, allows for a methodical perusal with no feelings of having missed out on something.
Thanks for a memorable visit

A vast collection of works from a variety of eras and genres of art. Spent four hours and still could've spent another four. The cafe is in a nice setting but the food was not very good. Unfortunately we did not get to participate in the guided tour in English as we were directed to the timed Munter exhibit on accident and missed the tour. The museum concierge was very apologetic, accepting blame, and said she would have Headout give us a refund. However, we have yet to receive the refund - going on 4 days now.
