Bag rules and storage at the museum

The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is one of Madrid's great art collections, situated along the Paseo del Prado near the city's other major galleries. Large bags and suitcases are not allowed into the galleries, so you'll need to leave them in the museum's cloakroom before going through the security scanners. The cloakroom is free, though you'll need to show a valid entry ticket for that same day to use it.

Small rucksacks and bags that are easy to carry can be taken into the museum rooms. A standard visit takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes, with an extra 50 minutes if you add the ground-floor temporary exhibition — worth knowing if you've checked a bag and are watching the clock.

Plaza Mayor, the principal historic square in the heart of Madrid, draws visitors for dining, souvenir shopping and sightseeing.

Círculo de Bellas Artes is a private cultural centre known for its exhibition halls, cinema, theatre and a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views; Sevilla metro station on Line 2 is a five-minute walk away.
