Nodes in this cluster

  • Prado Museum — Go at opening with a booked ticket, or after 17:00; pick three rooms (Velázquez, Goya, Bosch) instead of walking all of it.
  • Reina Sofía Museum — Guernica on the second floor is the reason to go: 60–90 minutes; check which days it is closed before you plan.
