Madrid questions
Is 3 days enough for Madrid?
Three days covers the main museums and palace if you move efficiently each morning. Use the metro between districts and book timed tickets to avoid queues.
Do I need to book the Royal Palace ahead?
Book Royal Palace tickets online the week before your visit. Choose an early slot to finish before midday crowds arrive.
Do I need to book Prado Museum tickets in advance?
Buy Prado tickets online at least several days ahead. Select a morning entry to finish before the busiest hours after 11.
How do I get from the Reina Sofía to Retiro Park?
It's easiest to walk: about 15 minutes up the Paseo del Prado. By metro you'd need a change between lines 1 and 2, which takes longer.
