It provides a focused path for travelers who prefer a curated approach to the city's diverse cultural collections.

Understanding the Four Museums of Madrid Pass
A 10-day pass for a choice of four from Madrid's eight participating Spanish State Museums.

The Four Museums of Madrid Pass provides a structured approach to exploring select state-managed collections across the city. This overview clarifies the scope and intent of the pass to help visitors determine how it aligns with their cultural interests.

The Four Museums of Madrid Pass is a convenient, lower-cost option issued by the Ministry of Culture of Spain for visitors looking to explore specific state-managed collections in Madrid. It provides a flexible way to access four institutions from a defined group of eight participating museums over a 10-day period.

The Four Museums of Madrid pass is the smaller, lower-cost alternative within the Ministry of Culture's Madrid State Museum offer. It lets the holder choose four institutions from the same group of eight museums covered by the full pass. The product works best for visitors with limited time who already know which specialist collections—such as archaeology, anthropology, fashion, decorative arts or historic houses—fit their interests.

The Four Museums of Madrid Pass provides access to a selection of cultural institutions across the city. Please review individual entry terms to understand specific visit requirements for each location.

The pass grants one-time admission to any four of the following eight participating institutions: National Archaeological Museum, Cerralbo Museum, Museum of the Americas, Museum of Costume, National Museum of Anthropology, Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas, Museo del Romanticismo, and the Sorolla Museum. Each visit must be recorded upon entry, and the pass does not cover the remaining four unselected museums.

The value of this pass depends on your specific itinerary and whether you plan to visit four of the eligible state-managed museums within a 10-day window. Because admission prices vary and many museums offer independent free-entry periods or concessions, visitors should compare the fixed price of this pass against the individual standard ticket costs for their chosen attractions. The pass is best suited for those who have already determined which four specialist collections they wish to prioritize during their time in Madrid.

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

01

How it works

Select four eligible State Museums and use the pass for one admission to each chosen institution within ten days. The selection limit is the defining rule: it is not a general credit that can be used for repeated entry to one museum, and it does not unlock the four museums that were not selected. Keep the pass throughout the itinerary so each eligible visit can be recorded.

02

Purchase and activation

Purchase the physical pass at a participating State Museum ticket desk. Decide on the likely four-museum itinerary before buying, while still checking the museums' opening days and temporary closures. The ten-day window provides flexibility, but it is shorter than the full eight-museum pass.

Important information

This product covers four selected museums, not all eight, and each selected museum is intended as a single admission. The Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza are separate from this programme. Compare the pass price with normal admission and Madrid's free museum periods, particularly for visitors eligible for existing concessions.
