Well worth a visit. Queue early, bring water in summer: its hot waiting outside.

If you do get in early, consider heading to the diagonally opposite top corner: its where a lot of really nice stuff is you'll want to linger over, and you can avoid a crush and then backtrack.

I was totally surprised by some gems in the collection. Pre-raphelite works. Don't miss rooms, give everything its due.

The Thyssen is also another must-see.

And add the National Archaeological Museum to that list. All within walking distance.

And the naval museum. It's really amazing and not so famous. It's 175 old and has the map of Juan de la Cosa, the earliest preserved map of the Americas. And since 2007 the museum has hosted a specimen of moon rock from the Apollo 17 mission.
