Prices from

The Eight Museums of Madrid Pass is priced at 16.00 EUR and is designed for visitors planning to explore multiple state-run collections. Its value depends on your specific itinerary, the number of included museums you intend to visit, and whether you plan to return for repeat visits within the 15-day validity window. As some state museums offer free-admission periods independently, it is advisable to review the calendars of your preferred institutions before purchasing the pass to determine if it aligns with your travel plans.

How to use the pass
Review purchase, activation, and important usage details for Eight Museums of Madrid Pass before you visit.

01

How it works

Purchase the pass from one of the participating State Museums and present it at the eligible institutions during the following 15 days. Unlike the four-museum alternative, this version covers the full group of eight and permits repeat admission while it remains valid. Each museum keeps its own opening calendar, security procedures and capacity rules, so the shared pass does not create one common schedule.

02

Purchase and activation

The pass is sold in person at participating museum ticket desks rather than as an advance online ticket. Buy it when beginning the museum itinerary and retain the original pass for later visits and re-entry. If the first intended museum is closed or temporarily unavailable, another participating ticket desk can be a more practical starting point.

Important information

The Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums are not part of this eight-museum product. Public museums may have weekly closing days, reduced hours or temporary room closures, and free-admission periods can affect the pass's financial value. Review the individual museum calendars before purchase, especially when several visits must fit into a short stay.
