About

Discover the "Paisaje de la Luz," one of the most surprising and wonderful areas of Madrid, encompassing the surroundings of Paseo del Prado and El Retiro Park, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021.

In this area, you'll find a collection of monuments, artworks, gardens, and unique landscapes that have formed a beautiful symbiosis between urban and natural elements since the 16th century, when the entire area was known as the Prado de los Jerónimos.

This tour includes guided visits to two of the most important museums in the country: The Prado Museum and the Reina Sofía Museum. Here, you'll discover renowned artists such as Goya, Velázquez, El Bosco, and Picasso's "Guernica" at the Reina Sofía Museum.

We particularly highlight Picasso's Guernica, an icon of the 20th century and a masterpiece that is awe-inspiring due to its size and spectacular nature. It becomes even more impressive when you uncover its symbolism and hidden details.
