The 24 Best Things to Do in Madrid, Spain

"One of the three institutions that form Madrid’s 'Golden Triangle' of art museums, this museum houses more than 8,600 paintings and 700 sculptures, with highlights including Diego Velázquez’s 'Las Meninas' and Francisco Goya’s 'The Third of May.' While it has the most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings in the world, it’s also renowned for works by European masters such as Peter Paul Rubens, Jan van Eyck, and Hieronymus Bosch. Pro-tip: arrive at 6 p.m. (5 p.m. on Sundays) to take advantage of free entry to the museum’s permanent collection during its final two hours." - Siobhan Reid Siobhan Reid Siobhan Reid is an NYC-based writer, editor, and copywriter.
