Advice Must-Visit Museums in Madrid

I'll be in Madrid in early May and really want to check out the Prado, Thyssen, and Reina Sofia. I'm curious about the best way to plan my museum visits. Should I dedicate a whole day to each, or can I combine some in a single day? Also, any tips on avoiding long lines or finding hidden gems within these museums would be awesome. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Madrid's art scene is incredible, and you've picked three of the best museums! The Prado and Thyssen are close to each other, so you could easily combine them into one day. Reina Sofia is a bit further but worth the trip for its modern art collection. To avoid lines, consider booking tickets online in advance and visiting early in the morning or late afternoon. Don’t miss the lesser-known rooms in the Prado—they often have hidden masterpieces with fewer crowds. Have you thought about exploring smaller galleries or temporary exhibits too?
