Reina Sofía, Picasso's Guernica Guided Tour

Madrid 2 hours Small group4.8(9,300 reviews)

Picasso painted Guernica in response to the Nazi bombing of the Basque town of Guernica on market day, April 26, 1937. At 3.49 × 7.76 metres, in black, white, and grey, it is one of the most powerful anti-war statements in art history. A guided tour explains every symbol, the bull, the horse, the screaming mother, and the political history that makes the painting comprehensible.

The guide made the difference. Knowledgeable, warm, and full of stories you will not find in any guidebook.
