Madrid Pass Calculator
Compare Madrid tourist pass options against separate tickets for the Royal Palace, Prado Museum, Reina Sofía, and Bernabéu Stadium.
Direct Verdict in 100 Words
The Madrid Pass bundles skip-the-line timed access to the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum with an audio guide. If you plan to visit both major landmarks, it saves booking hassle and time. However, if you take advantage of the official free evening admission hours at the Prado and Reina Sofía, individual booking is far cheaper.
