About this activity
Visit: Prado National Museum, Calle Ruiz de Alarcon 23, 28014 Madrid Spain
The Prado (Museo Nacional del Prado) and its collections of paintings, drawings, and sculpture reflect the history of Spain, whose waning role on the international stage in the 19th century reduced its appeal for foreign artists. Spanish artists now trained and worked abroad: in Rome at the beginning of the century, and from the mid-century onward in Paris, the new world capital of art. The nationalistic fervor that characterized the entire century, reflected by Spanish artists in canvases celebrating the country’s peoples, landscapes and history, and the Disentailment of ecclesiastical possessions which, when they entered the Prado from the Museo de la Trinidad, significantly enriched the original holdings from the Royal Collection, are all reflected in the Museum’s collections, which terminate in 1881, the year of Picasso’s birth.
While primarily oriented towards painting, these collections also include outstanding examples of sculpture, the decorative arts and works on paper, from antiquity to the 19th century.

We could walk right in. If your thing are medieval religious paintings then this is the place for you.
The Museo Nacional del Prado is a must-see if you are in Madrid. As an art lover, I spent close to six hours looking at all of the exhibitions. Because I bought the ticket, I was able to skip the line and enjoy myself to the fullest. If I visit Madrid again and want to visit the museum again, I will definitely buy this ticket.
As the main Spanish national art museum, a visit here is a must do on any trip to Madrid. Beautifully laid out, and easy to navigate, you can't help but revel in the works of Raphael, Rubens, Rembrandt, De Goya, Bosch, and the list goes on. This is for art lovers and anyone who just enjoys beauty.
Easy purchase process and no line ups....plan a half day to fully appreciate the collection. The gallery is and the number of works is huge so it's well worth researching what you want to see in advance.
The Prado Museum had El Greco, Goya, Velasquez, and even special displays of Rembrandt and Fra Angelico and the rise of the Florentine Renaissance. It had a beautiful display of varied art.
Unless you LOVE art history this is your museum! It was interesting to walk around and see famous artists arts.. but in my opinion it was very boring ... too big.. too much ... Having the tickets in advance was great! we skip the line , and it was a long line!
As I approached the Prado Museum, the long line snaking around the entrance caused me to mentally jump for joy that I had pre-purchased the no-line entry voucher. The museum is fabulous and covers many time periods, so budget your time to ensure that you are able to enjoy your priority galleries and artists.
It did not really save me time as I waited in the wrong line even after asking the staff where I should present my ticket the entrance is the to far left, there are 2 lines. I was there in the busy season and the line was not crazy long. I suppose it was good to have but I am sure I paid more as opposed to just buying tickets straight from the museum. The museum is amazing though!
If you are familiar with the museum this is a great way to visit El Prado on your own, specially on a busy holiday. Skip the line and just walk thru security.
The Prado is almost without parallel as a museum. The ability of the Spanish kings to collect European art and thus preserve it for our generation is something to behold. The collection is so extensive that there must be something for every taste in painting and sculpture too, if we had the time and energy to absorb that too.
The Prado is one of the worlds great art galleries we went to see Hermonius Bosch and were not disappointed.
Very large, beautiful museum. Easy to get to via wonderful Metro system in Madrid. Don't miss this one and allow time to see as it is very expansive. We spent 3 hours and could have spent that much more time if we'd had the energy. Definitely buy skip the line ticks.
