We are senior citizens tourists and we're going to be visiting Reina Sofia around 11:00am on Saturday, January 27. Should we purchase skip the line tickets in advance? If yes, please advise of how to do that.

Free senior tickets available on site vs paying in advance We're going to be visiting the Reina Sofía around opening time (10am) on Sunday, Oct. 13. Oct. 12 is a national holiday, and I've heard that Madrid is likely to be more crowded that day with visitors. The free over-65 tickets are only available on site, which means, presumably, standing in line for them. We can, of course, also purchase the €8 online tickets and skip the line. Given the time we're visiting, I'm wondering if we wouldn't be better off paying for the tickets rather than standing in line for a while to save €16. Thoughts?

Hello. We're planning on visiting during the free hours, and I know we need to queue up early. My question is, is there anything I need to book online in advance (like the Picasso museum in Barcelona)? Thanks!
