How to get the most value out of The Madrid Go City All-Inclusive Pass
Museum entry alone is €59, so plan to use the guided tours and the Bernabéu to make it pay.
| Don't | Do this instead |
|---|---|
| Pay for the Prado on a pass if you just want to look | The Prado is free Monday to Saturday 6-8 pm and Sunday 5-7 pm. The pass's value is the guided tour. |
| Plan the Reina Sofía for a Tuesday | It's closed on Tuesdays. Put the Bernabéu tour on that day instead and save Guernica (2nd floor, Sabatini Building) for a weekday morning. |
| Leave the Royal Palace until the afternoon | It can close at short notice for official events, and 10-11 am is the quietest hour in our data. Go first thing on a pass day. |
| Do the Bernabéu on a match day | Tours change or stop on match days. Check the fixture list first. |
| Visit the Prado in the afternoon | Take the morning tour; afternoons fill up before the free evening hours. |
| Head to the Prado without checking how busy it is | Check the Prado's live crowd level on beatthecrowd.co first. If it's busy, do another Madrid sight on your pass and come back later. |
Before you set off for the Prado, check how busy it is right now on beatthecrowd.co. An hour in a queue is an hour of your pass gone.
