Getting your cultural fix couldn’t be easier when you stay at Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid as the
Prado, one of the world’s most celebrated art museums, is almost next door. You’ll also find the famed
Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum opposite, with artworks from the 13th century to the present day. A few minutes’ walk away,
CaixaForum, remodelled by Herzog & de Meuron, stages temporary exhibitions and cultural events, while the vast
Reina Sofía contemporary art museum houses Picasso’s epic masterpiece, Guernica. Book ahead to visit the
Palacio de Liria, which contains one of the most notable private art collections in Spain, including paintings by El Greco, Velázquez and Goya.
