Finding an entry gate among many is also a fun to know how big Prado is and how beautiful a botanic. Garden is . Yes it is too great indeed inside to see all out with only a day but a couple of days . Compared with artists' age of life against the size of campus they painted , we can easily image they could not sleep enough for completing their paints , genius enough . So you can smell their real history as if you had been living contemporary. Do not miss such a chance .

The works from the permanent exhibition were my goal. I only had about two hours to work with so I prepared and aimed for the highlights. It was awesome. I hadn't studied the floor plan at all, but as I am trained in architecture the building was rather easy to navigate. I would strongly recommend that people prepare themselves and plan an itinerary through the collection. There was some confusion on my behalf about the digital audio guide included so I rented the official audio guide from the museum. It was a great little guide, which I enjoyed both in Spanish and English.

A Day at the Prado: A Tour with Helena This year, I had the pleasure of experiencing one of the best guided tours I’ve ever attended. Visiting the Prado Museum in Madrid is always a highlight, but having Helena as our guide took it to an entirely new level. Helena’s knowledge of the museum’s collection was impressive. She brought the works of Velázquez, Goya, and Bosch to life with stories that were both fascinating and engaging. Her ability to explain the nuances of each painting, from the political undertones of Las Meninas to the surreal details of The Garden of Earthly Delights, kept everyone hooked. But what set her apart was her entertaining style. Helena didn’t just recite facts; she made the history feel alive. Her humor and passion for the art were infectious, and she encouraged questions and discussions, making the experience interactive and fun. It wasn’t just a tour; it was a journey through history, culture, and art. If you’re planning to visit the Prado, I can’t recommend Helena enough. She turned what could have been an ordinary museum visit into the best cultural experience I’ve had this year.

We had an excellent guide, Marta. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. My only issue is not a reflection on her but the way it is scheduled. It should have been 2 hours instead of 90 minutes since so much time is lost to the logistics of getting through security, cloak room storage and then moving through the crowded museum. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Nice guide . She was very patient BUT It was a bit confusing where they would start. It was indicated 12:50 at Goya manoument but at 13:10 somebody showed up after I called Another big issue : we booked at 11:00 and the night before they let us know they moved us to 13:00 which messed up our plans. And I booked a city tour with the same company and they cancelled it less than one hour before starting!

Finding an entry gate among many is also a fun to know how big Prado is and how beautiful a botanic. Garden is . Yes it is too great indeed inside to see all out with only a day but a couple of days . Compared with artists' age of life against the size of campus they painted , we can easily image they could not sleep enough for completing their paints , genius enough . So you can smell their real history as if you had been living contemporary. Do not miss such a chance .

The works from the permanent exhibition were my goal. I only had about two hours to work with so I prepared and aimed for the highlights. It was awesome. I hadn't studied the floor plan at all, but as I am trained in architecture the building was rather easy to navigate. I would strongly recommend that people prepare themselves and plan an itinerary through the collection. There was some confusion on my behalf about the digital audio guide included so I rented the official audio guide from the museum. It was a great little guide, which I enjoyed both in Spanish and English.

Let me be clear there is no place like the prado museum of art, the work is just breath taking and I had many beautiful teary moments around the museum however saying that In our modern day of technology it seems very backwards to me that they wouldn't allow photos on your phone. Othe art museums allow pictures without a flash and because people are all trying to take secret pictures they end up making mistakes by accident like putting the flash on because they're not looking at their phone properly because they're secretly trying to manoeuvre it. It was very frustrating Morgan around the museum and having every two minutes in the corner of my ear not no photo, no photo no photoit really starts to get old especially when we are in an age of technology. We cannot ignore this and by not embracing this it ruins the experience for everybody so I don't quite understand why Prado still employee and waste money on such trivial things.

Tickets are very useful, but there were several of us so there was still a wait, especially as we had to pass through the security gates (photos are not allowed at the Prado museum ...).

The museum was overcrowded and large tour groups dominated. They stood in large groups in front of paintings for extended periods with no regard to anyone else trying to view the paintings.

The purchase process was very good. I just didn't realize that it was a digital audio guide. I overlooked it and then had too many difficulties with downloading and pairing the earphones on site.

The fact that we were able to enter without any problems and the selection of pictures. A small suggestion for improvement: indicate the exhibition room with the audio guide number. Otherwise perfect

The beauty and quantity of the works are the strong point, although the ideal way to fully enjoy them is to spread out the visit over several days.

Finding an entry gate among many is also a fun to know how big Prado is and how beautiful a botanic. Garden is . Yes it is too great indeed inside to see all out with only a day but a couple of days . Compared with artists' age of life against the size of campus they painted , we can easily image they could not sleep enough for completing their paints , genius enough . So you can smell their real history as if you had been living contemporary. Do not miss such a chance .

Easy access. Buying the ticket online was simple. Getting in the museum was easy - no lines and entry was well-marked with signs etc. The Prado is one of the world's great museums, and it was fantastic to be there again!

There were many stops. Everyone helped give directions. The audio was clear but some of the seats did not match the language and channels. It was raining hard. I wish it had a side cover on the top deck.

The works from the permanent exhibition were my goal. I only had about two hours to work with so I prepared and aimed for the highlights. It was awesome. I hadn't studied the floor plan at all, but as I am trained in architecture the building was rather easy to navigate. I would strongly recommend that people prepare themselves and plan an itinerary through the collection. There was some confusion on my behalf about the digital audio guide included so I rented the official audio guide from the museum. It was a great little guide, which I enjoyed both in Spanish and English.

I paid again to get the audio guide and lost out because it was supposed to be included. I called the information guide but it was automation so it was not helpful. I think next time I'll book the basic and get the extras where I'm going

The visit was great, the works and the organization very good. All the staff was very friendly and prepared to guide us. But in the store the person charged two bags instead of one and I only noticed it when I arrived at the hotel. I felt cheated, disappointing.

I think I'm a layman who appreciates art very much. We've visited some excellent museums in Europe and, humbly, I found the Prado as exceptional as my pleasant and enjoyable trip to Madrid. I thank humanity for the existence / excellence of the Prado.

Pre-booking meant we could plan our days, no long queue to get in and very easy to have our e-tickets in the app. Especially, great as the queue for buying at the Royal Palace was huge. Prado Museum flexible tickets were very convenient for day and time to visit. Very happy.
