This cultural experience offers a unique opportunity to explore Spain’s artistic legacy, from classical masterpieces to groundbreaking modern works.
Begin your tour at the Prado Museum, home to one of the most important collections of European art in the world. Located in a beautiful 18th-century building, the museum showcases works from the 12th to the early 20th century. With the help of an expert guide, uncover the stories behind world-famous masterpieces by Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, Rubens, and Titian.

The Prado’s vast collection features more than 2,000 paintings, sculptures, and drawings, reflecting the evolution of Spanish and European art over the centuries. Learn how these masterpieces were shaped by historical events, royal patronage, and changing artistic movements. From Gothic and Renaissance to Baroque and Neoclassicism, the museum offers an unforgettable walk through time.
After a short break, continue your experience at the Reina Sofía Museum—Spain’s national museum of 20th-century art. Housed in a historic building that once served as a hospital in the 16th century, the museum has been carefully restored and expanded to become a world-renowned art space.
Explore a dynamic collection that highlights modern and contemporary Spanish artists, including Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso. The centrepiece of the museum is Picasso’s powerful anti-war painting Guernica, a must-see for any visitor.
