If you are planning your visit to Madrid, do not hesitate to buy tickets for this interactive museum that has become a favorite experience for locals and tourists. On a tour of its different rooms you can teleport yourself from a lush Japanese bamboo forest to a room full of neon lights or a ball pool.

The important thing is that you disconnect from the outside world and secure your pass to this world of fantasy, textures, colors and smells that is triumphing in Madrid. This museum is much more than a set to take pictures, you can bring several outfits to change clothes and you will have a photographer in the museum who will take professional photos to visitors.

Why I like this option: Madrid is a city that invites you to walk around, get lost in its streets and soak up its culture. But whether you are traveling in a group, with your family or even alone, you could use this dose of illusion and disconnection that is triumphing in the city. With a concept imported from the United States, Ikono Madrid is unique in Europe, which makes it the perfect visit during your trip.

Recommended if... you have already decided to immerse yourself in the parallel universe of Ikono and want to make sure you have a space at the desired time and day.

To secure your ticket to Ikono Madrid it is best to make your purchase online. While you can buy them at the box office, the organization gives priority to those who have reservations and according to the capacity of the day, you may have to wait a lot or directly return at another time.

I recommend you buy tickets in advance and thus ensure access to the fun without worrying about anything else.

Honestly, I don't want to reveal too much because the place is worth discovering and savoring it room by room for yourself. Throughout its three floors and fifteen rooms you will be able to travel around the world, discover smells you didn't know or be transported to a night illuminated by millions of colored lights.

This is not a conventional museum: you do not need to plan the tour, have context about their works or plan which galleries to visit. At Ikono Madrid you go to let yourself go, to immerse yourself in its immersive experiences and to lose track of time and space.

It's not that you can, it's that you should! Ikono Madrid is open to children and adults -I can't guarantee who will enjoy the visit more. Of course, children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult to participate in the experience.

If you are worried about whether the kids will get the most out of this visit, here is a list of reasons why they will have an incredible time:

Ikono Madrid is located in the heart of Madrid, in the neighborhood of Lavapiés, on Calle de Sánchez Bustillo.

You can get there on foot if you are visiting the city center or by metro (using line 1 and getting off at the Estación del Arte stop). You can also walk there from Atocha train station (origin and destination of hundreds of commuter trains), so there is no excuse to miss this fantastic "immersive art gallery".

Ikono Madrid is open every day of the week at the following times:

You can complete the tour of the museum in an hour, although you can stop a little longer to get (even) more out of it. This makes it the perfect break from your visit to the city and immerse yourself for a while in a completely different universe where the most important thing will be the enjoyment.

To access the museum you only need your ID and your ticket, but if you feel like taking pictures and having good memories of the visit, I recommend you to bring some extravagant or flashy clothes to change or play with the accessories. Again, you'll have to let your imagination run wild to decide which outfits go best with you. Otherwise, you can always take inspiration from Ikono Madrid's official Instagram account.

Also remember to bring your phone or camera with you, as you won't want to miss a single snapshot at this place.

Taking advantage of your passage through the heart of the city, it is a good time to walk the streets of Lavapiés, a traditional neighborhood full of contrasts, cobbled streets and colorful buildings. Some of the best tapas and snacks in Madrid are prepared here, so if your visit to Ikono has made you hungry (or thirsty), you're sure to find a terrace where you can get your strength back.

You can also visit the Prado Museum, then walk along the nearby Paseo del Prado, one of the largest boulevards in Madrid that will take you in a straight line to the famous fountains of Neptuno and Cibeles. All this you can do on your own or join one of the guided tours of Madrid to walk around with an expert guide.

Another area that I recommend visiting and that is not far from Ikono Madrid is known as Barrio de las Letras. The most traditional part of Madrid has small streets that seem to be taken from a picturesque village. They are mostly pedestrian, which invites you to let yourself go and get lost in its corners. The great geniuses of Spanish literature chose it as an area where they lived and took inspiration for their works (hence the name of the neighborhood!).

The famous Puerta del Sol is not far from Ikono Madrid, just over 15 minutes walk. If you have not yet set foot on the Kilometer 0 from which all roads in Spain start or you have not visited this famous square where thousands of Madrilenians congregate every New Year's Eve, this may be a good time.

But if there is something that distinguishes the area where Ikono is located, it is the concentration of the best museums in Madrid. Did you know that they recently changed the name of their metro station to "Estación del Arte"? Near Ikono you have the Reina Sofia Museum, the Thyssen and a little further on, the Prado Museum.
