The most awaited long weekend since the summer holidays, but also the most atypical to date. From Be my Driver we suggest you take advantage of the confinement of Madrid to make those plans that are always pending. How about a walk and art?

A little bit of the Art Walk in Madrid

Many European capitals are noted for their impressive museums and galleries, but when it comes to Madrid, there is something curiously unique. You can walk down a street and find three of its most illustrious museums and some of its best-known cultural centres not far away. 

The Paseo del Arte is one of the best ideas to enjoy Madrid and the best masterpieces without leaving your seat. 

Reina Sofia Museum

• One of Madrid's greats, the Reina Sofía specialises in 20th century Spanish art. This is one of the largest museums in the world dedicated to modern art, a pretty impressive feat for a museum that opened relatively recently, in 1992. Inside you can find works by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and other bold names. If you've never visited, don't miss the masterpieces that focus on feminism, dreams, the Spanish Civil War and, in particular, Picasso's "Guernica". 

However, it is necessary to to book a ticket

Following the Art walk that we have marked the next stop would be...

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

• We continue our art walk and arrive at a former aristocratic mansion converted into the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum.
• Este museo se encuentra en algún lugar entre las obras de vanguardia en el Reina Sofía y el arte tradicional español en el Prado. Con una enorme colección de arte europeo de los maestros más respetados del continente, el museo es una visita obligada para cualquiera.
• Inside you can find works by the likes of Dalí, El Greco, Monet, Picasso and Rembrandt. Some works date back to medieval times, 20th century, 19th century American paintings, as well as interesting modern pop art. A journey through art and time.

Don't forget to book your ticket.

Prado Museum

• The Prado is a collection of Spanish and international masterpieces and a source of national pride. Architect Juan de Villanueva designed numerous neoclassical works around the city, but none more celebrated than this is the number one stop for first-time visitors to Madrid.
• Denominado por el historiador del arte Jonathan Brown ha denominado este lugar, que es verdaderamente imperdible, “el museo más importante del mundo para la pintura europea”.
• The collection of European art ranges from the 12th to the 20th century, the most famous works being "Las Meninas" by Diego Velázquez and "Three May 1808" by Francisco Goya.
• Por supuesto es parada indispensable de este paseo del arte de Madrid y como en todos los lugares anteriormente citados, es recomendable reservar las entradas con anticipación.
