Offered in: English and 1 more

With skip-the-line entry, a small group format (max 8 guests), and a guide who brings art and place to life, this is not your typical tour. This unique experience blends modern art, history, and everyday life—beginning with a guided visit to the Museo Reina Sofía, home to Spain’s most powerful 20th-century works.

Led by an art dealer and cultural host, you’ll explore a handpicked selection of masterpieces by Picasso, Dalí, Miró, and others—art born from conflict, protest, and imagination. Through engaging stories and context, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the ideas and emotions behind the art, including a powerful encounter with Guernica.

After the intensity of the museum, we’ll take a relaxed stroll to Retiro Park, Madrid’s green heart. There, you’ll unwind at a favorite chiringuito with a drink and aperitivo, before continuing on a guided walk through the park’s elegant monuments, hidden corners, and rich history.
