Local tips
- If you are unsure about the distance, pick an e-bike: you enjoy the ride, not the climb.
- The Prado is free for the last two hours of each day, but the queue starts well before, so pay for a timed ticket if your time is short.
- The Reina Sofia is closed on Tuesdays, which is when the Prado and Thyssen are busiest.
Combine it with: Prado Museum guided visit, Royal Palace of Madrid and Reina Sofia and Picasso's Guernica.
