If you're planning your visit to Madrid, don't hesitate to buy tickets for this interactive museum that has become a favourite experience for locals and tourists alike. 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 passage to this world of fantasy, textures, colours and smells that is triumphing in Madrid. This museum is much more than just a place to take photos, you can bring several outfits to change your clothes and you will have a photographer at the museum who will take professional photos of the visitors.

Why I like this option: Madrid is a city that invites you to stroll around, get lost in its streets and soak up its culture. But whether you're travelling in a group, with your family or even on your own, you could do with this dose of excitement and disconnection that's making a big splash 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 place at the time and day you want.

To secure your ticket to Ikono Madrid it is best to purchase your tickets online. Although 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 long time or come back at another time.

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

Honestly, I don't want to give you too much away because the place is worth discovering and savouring 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 coloured lights.

This is not a conventional museum: you don't need to plan your route, have context about the works or plan which galleries to visit. You go to Ikono Madrid 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 must! Ikono Madrid is open to children and adults -I can't guarantee who will enjoy the visit more. However, children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult to take part in the experience.

If you're worried about whether the kids will get the most out of this visit, here's a list of reasons why they'll have an amazing time:

Ikono Madrid is right in the centre of Madrid, in the Lavapiés neighbourhood, on Calle de Sánchez Bustillo.

You can get there on foot if you are visiting the city centre 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 suburban 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 one 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 is to enjoy yourself.

To enter the museum you only need your ID and your ticket, but if you feel like taking photos and making great memories of your visit, I recommend you bring some extravagant or flashy clothes to change into or play with the accessories. Again, you'll have to let your imagination run wild to decide which outfits suit you best. Otherwise, you can always get 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.

While you're in the heart of the city, it's a good time to wander the streets of Lavapiés, a traditional neighbourhood full of contrasts, cobbled streets and colourful 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, which will take you in a straight line to the famous fountains of Neptuno and Cibeles. You can do all this on your own or join one of the guided tours of Madrid with an expert guide.

Another area I recommend visiting that is not too 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 neighbourhood!).

The famous Puerta del Sol is not far from Ikono Madrid either, just a 15 minute walk away. If you haven't yet set foot on Kilometre 0, the point from which all the roads in Spain start, or if you haven't visited this famous square where thousands of Madrilenians congregate every New Year's Eve, now might be a good time to do so.

But if there is one thing 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.
