At the heart of Madrid lies "the golden triangle", so-called for the three major galleries that fuel the city's claim to be Europe's capital of art. Its apex is the giant neo-classical Museo del Prado, housing what is one of the oldest and greatest collections of paintings in existence. Across the street sits the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, a private collection of art that many consider to be the world's finest. Then, down the Paseo del Prado, stands Spain's national gallery of modern art, the Centro de Arte Reina SofÃa, whose highlight is one of the 20th century's most important and impressive works - Picasso's Guernica.
At the edge of the triangle, sitting in splendour beside the Prado, is the Ritz Hotel -- Orient Express Hotels.
