MUSEUMS tip

You simply can’t visit Madrid without stepping into at least one museum.

If you only have time for one, make it the Prado—but if you love art and want to dive deeper, here are some must-visits. I’ve included grand museums, medium-sized gems, and small, charming ones full of character.

If you're traveling with kids (or even if you're not), I highly recommend booking a professional guide to turn your museum visit into a fun and memorable experience. Madrid’s larger museums can be overwhelming—just finding your way around can be a challenge.

With the right guide, you can create a fully customized experience that feels nothing like going in alone. Trust me, it makes all the difference.

One of my top recommendations is Sandra—she also does fantastic tapas tours and more around the city. You can find her on Instagram at @imsandra or reach her directly at sandralopezzpe@gmail.com.

She’s brilliant!
