What you'll see on the tour

- Picasso's Guernica (1937), the world's most famous painting and symbol of the horror of the Spanish Civil War.
- Works by Salvador Dalí, including pieces from his Surrealist period that defined 20th-century art.
- Paintings and sculptures by Joan Miró, with his unmistakable language of symbols and primary colours.
- Juan Gris and Spanish Cubism, one of the best-represented movements in the collection.
- European avant-garde art, with works that illustrate the great movements of the 20th century.
Why book the guided tour
The Reina Sofía houses thousands of works and without guidance it's easy to miss the essentials. With a guide you know exactly what to see, why it matters and what lies behind each canvas. On top of that, admission is included and you skip the ticket-office queue, which can be especially long during high season and weekends. The average rating for Reina Sofía guided tours on Civitatis is 9/10.
