Top 5 Must-See Artworks at Madrid's Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum | A Complete Guide to Must-See Artworks!
One of the three major art museums in Madrid, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum! I'll introduce you to just 5 must-see works~ The Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia National Art Center, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum are the three major art museums in Madrid. These three art galleries are grouped together in a triangle. That's why it's also called the Golden Triangle . Among them, the name of the art museum we will introduce today, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, is the name of a family. Thyssen-Bornemisza is a family with extensive business operations in Hungary and Germany. At the time, it was known that she had the largest art collection, second only to Queen Elizabeth of England. Most of the works were collected by this family, which is why it was given its current name. At Thyssen-Bornemisza, you can see art from the Renaissance to modern times. You can enjoy a truly wide world of art in one place. Now, I will introduce you to the top 5 masterpieces recommended by the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum😊 🌷 1. Jan van Eyck, The Annunciation Guys, is this a sculpture? No, this work is a painting drawn with a brush ! The delicate expression, like a sculpture, is impressive. The artist is Jan van Eyck, a Dutch painter famous for his work, The Wedding of the Argnolpini Couple. Jan van Eyck developed his own artistic world with a unique painting style different from that of the Italian Renaissance. I highly recommend you see it, as you can appreciate its true value right before your eyes😄
Top 2 Day Trips from Madrid
Toledo & Segovia: Cities of History and Gastronomy You Can Explore in a Day If you're staying in Madrid, I highly recommend taking a day trip to one of the nearby cities. While the capital, Madrid, is a modern and vibrant city, Toledo and Segovia, just an hour or two away, are treasures that preserve Spain's past and traditions. One city retains the grandeur of a medieval capital , the other a place brimming with Roman heritage and culinary delights . Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, allowing you to experience the diverse face of Spain in a short time. In this article, I'll introduce you to the two most popular travel destinations near Madrid: Toledo and Segovia. Toledo – A trip to the Middle Ages near Madrid Toledo is a city with a sense of historical weight, having once been the capital of Spain. Just 30 minutes from Madrid by high-speed train, it's the perfect day trip. The entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and strolling through its quaint walls and alleyways feels like being transported back to the Middle Ages. Must-see attractions include the El Greco House & Museum, where you can see works by El Greco, the majestic Toledo Cathedral, and the Mirador del Valle observatory, which offers panoramic views of the city. Toledo, in particular, is a city where Christianity, Islam, and Judaism coexisted, so its architectural styles are diverse and each narrow alley has a hidden story, making it fascinating just to walk around. Segovia – City of Roman Aqueducts and Cochinillos Segovia is a nearby city, about an hour and a half by bus from Madrid. The highlight here is undoubtedly the Roman aqueduct. Looking at photos alone, you might wonder, "Why bother going to see just one aqueduct?" But when you see it in person, you'll be amazed by its overwhelming scale and state of preservation. Another Segovia specialty is the cochnillo, or suckling pig. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the special performance of cutting it into plates is a Segovia specialty. This performance, available for group orders, adds to the fun of your trip. In addition, the Alcázar Castle (Alcázar de Segovia), perched on a hill, is so beautiful that it's said to have been the model for Disney's castles, resembling a fairytale castle. The aqueduct → Alcázar → Cocinillo meal—a perfect day trip to Segovia. 📌 Want more tips for Madrid?
Valencia Travel Guide: Just 2 Hours from Madrid
Spain's third largest city! Valencia 🇪🇸 Valencia, a city about three hours by train from Barcelona and two hours from Madrid, is a popular resort destination for those seeking a beach holiday in the central region. Valencia is famous as the birthplace of paella. True to its coastal origins, it's a place where you can savor authentic paella made with fresh seafood and rice. While you can find paella in Barcelona and Madrid, even locals say, "The real paella is found in Valencia." Another must-see is the Valencia Science Park (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias). Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, it boasts a unique atmosphere reminiscent of a futuristic city. It possesses a charm completely different from the classic European buildings, and even taking a photo of it feels like a scene from a movie. Valencia is also famous for its mild climate and the Mediterranean coastline of Playa de la Malvarrosa, where you can stroll along the shore. During the summer, the beach bustles with cafes and restaurants, making it a great place to relax and unwind.

Selection criteria Excluding works by artists like Titian, Rubens, Caravaggio, and Dürer that can be easily encountered when traveling in Europe, We've selected works by representative Spanish authors that are difficult to find in other countries! 💟 1. Velazquez - The Maids of Honor I think this is the first work that comes to mind when you think of the Prado Museum. This is 'Las Meninas' by Velazquez, one of the three greatest masters of Spanish medieval painting. This great work includes works by Picasso, Monet, Dali, Goya, etc. It is also a work that has inspired many artists to the point that they have reinterpreted it in their own style. That's why Velazquez is also called 'the painter of painters'. 'The Maids' has a complex and enigmatic painting style, It is a work of art that has as many interpretations and controversies as the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. Because there are so many things to see and hear, you can't just look at the work. This is a work of art that can only be properly appreciated after hearing the explanation of the painting.
