The Museo Reina Sofía Guided Tour is a 90-minute guided tour of one of Madrid's principal modern and contemporary art museums, housed in a converted 18th-century hospital building on Calle de Santa Isabel. The collection spans the 20th century and is anchored by Pablo Picasso's Guernica, the large-scale 1937 painting depicting the bombing of the Basque town, which remains the most visited work in the permanent galleries. Works by Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró are also central to the collection, representing the breadth of Spanish modernism alongside international movements including Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism.
A live guide leads the group through the permanent collection and selected temporary exhibitions, providing context on individual works, the artists, and the broader cultural periods they represent. The starting point is the museum entrance at 52 Calle de Santa Isabel. Entry tickets and the guided tour are included in the booking, with no additional admission fee required on the day. The museum is fully wheelchair accessible. For more things to do in Madrid, including other museums and cultural sites across the city, a range of options is available to suit different interests and schedules.
