Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum
Best time to visit
Arrive early on weekdays when galleries are quiet and morning light flatters the paintings; late afternoon can be pleasant but often busier on weekends. Shoulder seasons like spring and autumn reduce tourist crowds compared with summer.
Budget tips
Standard adult tickets typically run around €12-15, buy timed-entry tickets online to avoid queues; the Paseo del Arte combined ticket covers Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen at a lower per-museum rate, and reduced or free entry periods apply for youth, seniors and on selected days—check the official site for exact days and eligibility.
