About this trip

Home of the ‘Golden Triangle of Art’ Madrid offers Art and Design Students a great opportunity to study Spanish masters from the last 800 years.

Your Art and Design GCSE or A-Level class can explore the vast history, both old and new, in the city's many art galleries, all situated fairly close together, meaning you will have plenty of time to fit in cultural activities to soak up the Madrid culture in the Spanish capital. Take a look at a WST Madrid school or sixth form college trip itinerary below.
