A day in Madrid

[Susan M Fron]

I am starting the Camino Francis in August, flying into Madrid. I'm arriving at 7:30 am, then have until 4:20 pm to fly to Pamplona. (I was originally scheduled to fly out at 11:30 am but my flight time got changed). Would I have time to go into Madrid, if even for lunch?

By taxi. Go directly to the Prado. The Reina Sofia is close enough to walk. Forget the rest of Madrid until you have much more time.

See what day you arrive. here is almost everyday of the week a mayor museum free entrance. Pick one Museum one stroll through the park and drink a bear with tapas. Reina Sofia is my favorite. Like Hopper.?

I agree with Roger. Go to the Prado! You can eat lunch there. It's lovely.

Pre-order your ticket for the Prado on the website https://www.museodelprado.es/en/visit-the-museum . Some days the queue is horribly long.

If you feel you have time to leave the museum for food, La Vaca Veronica is wonderful, and very close.
