Best thing was that it was Museam appreciate day and we got in for free. Lots of pictures nicely displayed but awkward walking patterns that we couldn't just stroll through the collections. Excellent collection of Spanish pictures however . . .

This museum is awesome and the free entry after 6pm was a great deal. I think we only waited about 15 minutes (because of the line). Just be advised, this museum is very large. When you enter at 6pm, you're only going to have 2 hours to see stuff. This review is just to manage your expectations.

This is an amazing collection of mainly Spanish painters. We spent 3 hours with the self guided headphones. I think it would have been better with a personal guide, particularly if you only have a few hours. It was a challenge for us to maintain concentration through the whole gallery and were exhausted at the end of three hours and... More

This place is so beautiful. The facade outside is gorgeous and the collection inside is spectacular. I only made it througj the basement floor as there is so much to see. Works of Gota tantalize the mind. Do yourself a favor and see this place a few days

Use the audio guide (4 euros) some amazing art on display. You will have to leave some ID when you get your headset and get it back on return. Good shop and cafe. Plenty of rest stops/benches.

Don't get a tour, its a waste. My boyfriend and I did it in 1.5 hrs and saw everything important. The prado has a few walking interaries on their site of all their most famous works with a quick description. This is really all you need!

Gorgeous museum space with an amazing collection of pre 20th century art, mostly paintings but some sculpture. Our guidebook claimed the museum opened at 9am, but it was actually 10 (Friday). Since we were there early our wait was only until opening time but it got pretty long behind us by then. We walked all of the rooms paying the... More
