Its depth is such that we want to guide you through the Reina Sofía Museum so you can make the most of your visit, discovering the different floors and what each one offers, and knowing where it is worth stopping.
Madrid is home to some of the most important museums in Spain and Europe, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. This space is one of the leading references for modern and contemporary art and contains works that help us understand the artistic history of the 20th and 21st centuries. Artists such as Picasso, Dalí and Miró await you on your visit.
The Reina Sofía Museum is a must-see in Madrid to understand contemporary and modern art in Spain. Located in the former Hospital of San Carlos, the museum houses key works from the 20th century, including Picasso’s Guernica, as well as pieces by Dalí, Miró and Juan Gris. The visit is spread across the Sabatini and Nouvel buildings, combining historic spaces with contemporary architecture. To enjoy the visit at a relaxed pace, it is advisable to plan your route and allow enough time, as the museum is extensive and features both permanent and temporary exhibitions.
The Reina Sofía is designed to provide an accessible visit for people with different needs. Most public areas allow wheelchair access, and the museum is equipped with ramps, lifts, adapted restrooms, seating areas and a cloakroom. It also offers wheelchair loans available at information points. For visitors with visual or hearing impairments, specific resources and activities are developed within the educational program, and it is possible to request personalized assistance or sign language interpreters in advance. Due to the historic nature of the Sabatini building, the route is adapted.
To organize your visit to the Reina Sofía Museum comfortably, we recommend purchasing tickets in advance, especially on weekends, public holidays and during peak periods. It is one of the most visited museums in Madrid, and ticket office queues can be considerable. Buying your ticket in advance allows you to better choose your entry time and make the most of the time available for your visit. If you have specific needs or are looking for a more relaxed experience, planning ahead is key to enjoying the tour without rushing and focusing on the museum’s most iconic works.
