Museums Places Map
Museums in Spain:
Prado National Museum
If you're on a budget, try to visit on weekends or free entry days! You can get in for free on certain nights, just check the schedule online before you go.
Look out for the short audio guides! They’re inexpensive and provide awesome insights into the most famous pieces—definitely helped enhance my experience.
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
If you're planning to explore the museum thoroughly, dedicate at least half a day. I didn’t realize how much there was to see and rushed through some exhibits
Museum Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia
Dali Theatre-Museum
CosmoCaixa
I think packing your own snacks is a smart move. The onsite café can be a bit pricey, and there are lots of spots to chill and munch inside.
I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM. It’s way less crowded then, and you can explore without feeling rushed. Plus, you can snap those Insta-worthy pics!
National Thyssen Museum
I suggest you grab the audio guide, it's super handy! It was like having a personal tour guide in my ears for the best artworks, and it made my experience way better.
I recommend visiting during late afternoons, like between 4 and 5 PM. It felt less crowded, and I could actually enjoy the art without bumping into too many people.
Museum Picasso
I recommend getting your tickets online beforehand. It saved me from waiting in that long line outside, and I got right in! Plus, sometimes you can find online discounts
Check out their temporary exhibits too! I was surprised by how they brought in fresh perspectives on Picasso, it added a lot to my experience, plus it was less crowded than the main collection
National Museum of Art of Catalonia
Prince Felipe Museum of Science
If you can, aim to go around 2 PM. It was way less crowded then, and I could enjoy the exhibits without rushing.
Don't miss the rooftop views if you have time. It's a great spot to chill and snap some pics after all the science fun.
Spanish Village
I suggest getting there right when it opens at 10 AM. The place gets busy fast, and the earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to enjoy everything without the crowd. Trust me, it makes a difference.
