  • If time permits, visit the museum's library, which houses over 1,000 videos and sound recordings related to art history, providing additional context to your visit.

Tips for visiting the Reina Sofia Museum

  • Plan your movement between buildings: The Nouvel Building (modern exhibits) connects with the Sabatini Building via a hidden second-floor corridor near the library. This saves you time and helps avoid retracing your steps back to the ground floor.
  • Optimal route for Picasso’s Guernica: Head to Room 206 (2nd Floor, Sabatini) directly from the main entrance if you're short on time. It's best to visit early to avoid the crowd and appreciate the full context provided by surrounding works.
  • Dress for the museum's climate: Museum rooms maintain a steady temperature of 21°C (69.8°F) for artwork preservation. Dress in layers, especially if it's hot outside, as the controlled climate can feel chilly after a while.
  • Restroom access shortcuts: Restrooms near the Sabatini courtyard have shorter queues compared to the ones on the main floors. In the Nouvel Building, the easiest-to-access restrooms are near the auditorium on the ground floor.
  • Rooftop secrets in the Nouvel Building: Many miss the panoramic rooftop terrace accessible from the Nouvel Building. It's a peaceful spot to relax with a view of Madrid’s skyline after exploring the intense modern art exhibits.
  • Managing time with large exhibits: Temporary exhibitions are often spread across both the Nouvel and Sabatini Buildings. Start from the upper floors of the Nouvel Building for a top-down exploration. Exhibits often have a narrative arc, with the climax near the end.
  • Cafeteria tips: The cafeteria on the Nouvel rooftop serves quality snacks and offers stunning views. Avoid peak hours between 1pm and 3pm when it gets crowded with locals and tourists alike.
  • Photography and quiet spaces: If you need a quiet break, check out the sculpture garden in the Sabatini courtyard—it’s a tranquil escape where you can sit among modern sculptures.
  • Art library for enthusiasts: The Nouvel Building's art library is an under-the-radar spot for research and quiet reflection. Visitors can access art-related texts, archives, and multimedia resources during library hours without an extra fee.
  • Ticket counter vs. mobile tickets: If you booked a mobile ticket, you can skip long queues by entering directly through the Nouvel entrance.
