The famous ‘Golden Triangle of Art’ is three amazing and important museums of Madrid located within minutes from each other: The Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Art and the Reina Sofia Museum.
Built in the mid-18th century, the Royal Palace is the largest palace in Western-Europe and a must-see not only for the building itself but for the exhibitions it hosts.
