Prado National Museum, Madrid

The house for the best of Goya and Velazquez with their most famous masterworks. A beautiful building with a great collection. You can walk through the different eras of Spanish art, specially paintings. Be sure to book yourself for a whole day to enjoy all that there is to offer. From 18 to 20h the entry is free, so it-s best to go as soon as they open at 10h to get your tickets.

Just an unforgettable experience, near the botanic garden. You loose yourself in the beauty and the story that Goya and Velazquez, among others artists. The paints, the status the magnificent tables. All treasures that teach us and show us from where we've come. Of course 1 time it's not enough to see everything in detail at least for me. I will return to complete my tour. I recommend, go and enjoy..

Did a private guided tour through The Guides You Need it was wonderful and my guide, Maria, was very attentive and experienced. The displays are lovely and walking through you can truly capture the development of Spanish fine art. The contrast between earlier Goya and his Black paintings is especially dramatic and interesting. Couldn't recommend coming here enough.

I spent a wonderful afternoon here. 5 hours and I felt like I’d seen it all. Amazing collection of art and sculpture. No photos allowed. Which I appreciate! I bought my ticket online. And breezed right in at my scheduled time. It’s big enough that the crowds seem spaced out. I never felt like there were to many people in one area. I’ve been to several of the great museums in the world. Prado is definitely near the top! One thing to note. As I was leaving. There was a very long line of people in the queue for the free late hour admission. Not sure it would be worth it…..

This has been indeed the most incredible museum I visited in Spain. It’s a mesmerizing maze that portrays one of the best vivid and exuberant collections in the EU. The religious paintings and all the references to the Greek mythology took me aback! All the paintings are so beautifully preserved that make you believe they were painted just yesterday! They have discounts for students and the elderly as well. Make sure you book your time for at least half a day to fully visit all the floors and read all the information on every splendid piece of art. You can’t claim you have visited Madrid unless you visit this magnificent heaven of art!
