Is there a museum that explores Spain’s colonization of the Philippines?
@@1966bluemax not as far as we are aware.
And the Royal Collection Gallery!! Its amazing
It is, but it hadn't opened its doors when we recorded this video.
dont forget the many royal palaces both inside and day trips outside
Here we deal with museums.
Thank you. I am Scottish, now living in Spain and your video is just what I need as I would like to visit a number of those Museums you have featured.
Excellent to hear that, Joyce! (I lived in Edinburgh for five years).
My wife and I just got back from our two week vacation in Madrid and other parts of Spain. Thank you for all of your videos! We took a lot of your advise and it made traveling so much better. Both Spain and Portugal are beautiful countries and I cannot wait to come back in the future.
Great to hear that, Michael!
Excellently done thank you!
Our pleasure!
Thank you
👍
Hola Tony, Thank you very much for the information. We just got back from a trip to Spain and we really enjoyed the Museo Geominero. It was so beautiful and we really appreciated that it kept its historical feel - it felt like being in a library in Hogwarts. Although the exhibits were all in Spanish, it was easy to figure out the elements and minerals in English with our basic Spanish. Please note that we needed to show our passports at security to get in, but luckily we had them with us. We appreciated that the museum was free and did not contain a gift shop. Thank you for posting about it, our guide book did not mention it. Muchas graçias!
Glad you liked the Geominero, it is such a lovely museum. And free! Good reminder about the passports! In any case, in Spain you must carry a personal ID document with you the entire time. All the best!
Very useful video! Many thanks :)
👍
Amazing. Thank you!
Any time!
I can't wait to go back to Spain to see the Sorolla museum. In your list of special recommendations, you have listed 19 of the 20 museums... I believe the natural science one is missing
You are right! Too late to do anything about it!
This was amazing 👏🏾 wow I'm now trying to plan my path lol 😅. Originally it was going to be 4-5 museums. But looks like I've got to add 3 more. Question, does the GoCity Pass include the museums as well? I want to get one for Barcelona, Barcelona, and Lisbon too.
Some of the museums are truly fantastic. We are not familiar with the GoCity Pass, but as the price of most museums is not high, it might no be worth getting the pass. See our info on museum passes in Madrid czcams.com/video/oeb4MfDRy4U/video.html in Barcelona czcams.com/video/R0A0k3gNCW8/video.html and an excellent attraction pass for Lisbon czcams.com/video/3ChNxwMCIhM/video.html
It’s a great video!!! I’ve just spent 4 weeks in Spain and 2.5 of them in Madrid basically walking around with not much to do. I new only Prado, Reina Sofía, Thyssen- Bornemisza, and Archeological. To my great disappointment photos are not allowed in both Prado and Reina Sofía.
Thank you, Tetyana, hope you had a good time! Hard to understand why photos are not permitted inside the Prado and the Reina Sofía but are allowed inside the Thyssen museum. They are all national museums run by the Spanish government.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal , the staff in both museums are very strict to the point of obnoxious: they follow you very closely , they survey you very closely if you pulled out your telephone; in Reina Sofía I wrote the official complaint and left the building.
@@tetyanaquinn2362 while I don't agree with the rule, there I must admit I'm with the museum staff, there are so many people trying to bend the rules the entire time!
Nice i would have love to visit ❤ atleast its free here😅
Thanks for reminding me about the Sorolla Museum. I didn't get a chance to visit it on my first trip to Madrid but will make time when I visit Madrid next February. Love your videos!
The Sorolla museum is truly wonderful, you will love it! All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal I just returned from Spain and did get to the Sorolla. It was such a lovely place! I loved both the house and the art. Visiting this museum just makes you feel happy. I wish I had bought tickets online in advance though. We waited for 45 minutes to get in on a Saturday morning. I had no idea it would be so popular. It is my favorite museum in Madrid now.
@@connieosness550 hello Connie, great you had such a superb time at the Sorolla (minus the queues, museums tend to be quite busy during the weekends). The museum is truly special, being as it was the artist's residence. All the best.
Great job in highlighting these museums. 😊 Fyi, the moneda link is wrong… you have the MAN twice 😮
Thank you for the warning on the duplicated links. Problem fixed!
the city, many of the smaller museums are 3€, paseo arte 28-32€ , palacio real 11-16€ ; barcelona 38€ for six art mueums
Museums financed by the Spanish taxpayer are always cheaper than the ones belonging to private institutions.
Really helpful! Where can we buy the museum pass in Madrid? Gracias
Thanks Simon, you can buy the passes at any of the museums where they are valid.
Dear Tony, thank you for your wonderful videos. They are very helpful for our trip to Spain in June. We would like to visit Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, and we need your advice for the ticketing. My daughter is a university student below age of 25, my husband is over 65, both of them are qualified for free access to the museum. I need to buy a general ticket.
Should we buy one ticket online and get the two free admission tickets on site? Or should we just get three tickets on site on the day we visit the museum? Or should we buy three general tickets online in order to save us time for queueing up at the ticketing office.
And about our itinerary, we can visit the museum either on Thursday/Friday or Sunday. We also would like to go to the old town. Is it better to visit the museum and old town on Thursday and Friday and tour around in the city on Sunday or vice versa?
FYI. As for Saturday, we have took your advice (as we communicated before) and booked ticket to visit Royal Palace of Madrid and all the other amazing places near the palace (as recommended in your other video).
Thank you again and your advice is very much appreciated.
Hi Lucia. Since you will have to queue for one of the tickets, why don't you get them all in one go once you are in Madrid? If you go early in the day the queues shouldn't me massive (insider tip: there's an entrance at the back of the building, through the modern red structure, the queues there are much smaller). As for day of the week, hard to tell, there are tourists in Madrid from Monday to Friday. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Super!!! Thank you, this is super helpful.
One more question, when we leave Madrid for Barcelona, we will stop over at Saragoza for 1 night, then heading to Barcelona the next day. We will rent a car for these 2 days. Which scenic points would you recommend us to go on our way to Saragoza and Barcelona. Any good restaurants you would recommend for these two days?
This is our first trip to Spain, we are very grateful for your videos and recommendations, you are simply fantastic!!!
Don’t have a video on that stretch of road yet, but we would not rent a car for that trip, we would take the high-speed train.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks again, we will take high speed train then. I am watching your videos about traveling in Spain with train now...... 🙂
I’m very interested in the sculptures and wondering where I can see collections of the Spanish sculptures. Like the busts we see, I think at your congress building??
Thank you for your great videos.
Hi, we didn't quite understand your question. What sculptures are you referring to? The Congress is not open for visits, so we are not familiar with the reference you mention.
Thank you for a lot of wonderful video's. Do you have a list of museums that allow photography? because I know that the Prado doesn't, and I wonder if the rest of the museums are the same.
Hi Jacob, we don't have a list but we have something that could somehow be of help: check the video, wherever we recorded video images it is because filming its allowed. If there are no internal images (El Prado) that's because photographs are not allowed. All the best.
Thanks for the video. What do you mean by free opening hours? Where
Do we find the free opening times ? We will visit Madrid next month and staying for a whole month.
Some museums have a time slot when you don't have to pay to visit it. It changes from one museum to another so you will have to check the ones you are interested in visiting one by one.
Have you ever visited the Drawing museum? I think it may be called ABC?
It's the Museo ABC and we haven't visited it yet.
Hola Tony, thanks foir another inspiring video. I like the way you have highlighted the lesser known attractions here. We will try to visit some when we next visit Madrid. I wonder if you can clarify the qualification for free (or discounted) entry for over 65s. Is this only for Spanish nationals or also available for non-Spanish tourists. If this is the case, then one would have no need for the various passes since free entry applies to most museums except the Prado.
Hi Ken, each museum has its specific rules. Unless stated otherwise, discounts for +65 apply to everyone regardless of passport. All the best!
Hello, can you please tell me of a website to fill in schengen visa form online ?
May I ask what is the free entry slot for Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales?
Sunday from 17h to 20h. The number of tickets is limited.
Many thanks! Do we need to book online or this is from the counter on site?@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
@@StevenZhang1102 the free tickets need to be obtained on site and the number is limited.
how many days you need to visit all these plus convents monasteries
Around 10 days.
Hi Tony, visiting Madrid in late September. Would like to visit the Reina Sofia Museum. When I checked September 27th and 28th I couldn’t select either. Do you think it’s too far in advance?
Thanks!
Hi Delsia, unless there's a specific event we are not aware of, it's probably too early to book tickets. Can you find tickets for the dates after your trip?
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Hi Tony, none of the dates after mine are available. I just received an email from the museum stating that it’s too early for the dates that I’m planning to visit. They advised to keep checking back.
@@delsiag.7226 excellent, that's what we suspected.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Tony, we’re going to be flying into Madrid and spending a few days there. Then we’re taking a train to Barcelona and spending a few days there. Once the visit there is done, we want to rent a car and head to the Basque Country. On the way we’ll be making pit stops. If we stop in Zaragoza (which we want to) we’d like to invite you and Cecilia out to dinner.
@@delsiag.7226 thank you, Delsia, give us a shout near the date, if we're home (quite a few trips lined up) we'd be delighted to meet you.
How do we use the Paseo del Arte pass for a couple where one is adult less than 65 and the second traveler is over age 70?
George, the Paseo del Arte pass is an individual pass. Check out our video on Madrid museum passes: czcams.com/video/oeb4MfDRy4U/video.html
