Depending on whether you\u2019ve booked your tickets online or are buying on the spot, you can choose the following entrances. The average waiting time before you enter the museum is at least one hour. To avoid the long waiting time, it\u2019s recommended to buy skip-the-line tickets online. <\/p>\n<p>The opening hours of all the entrance points are from 10 AM to 8 PM on all days except Sunday and on public holidays (10 AM to 7 PM). <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pradoentrance1a\">Entrance 1 &#8211; Puerta de Goya Baja<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re on a budget, head to this entrance as the ticket counter at this entrance is known to offer concessions and discounts. But make sure you head early, as the ticket line here is long. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pradoentrance1b\">Entrance 2 &#8211; Puerta de Goya Alta <\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve not booked your tickets online and are looking to buy tickets quickly on the spot, you can head straight to this entrance. Equipped with an automated ticket machine, you can quickly get yourself a ticket without waiting much. But, you\u2019ll have to pay the full price here. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pradoentrance1c\">Entrance 3 &#8211; Puerta de Vel\u00e1zquez<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve purchased your tickets online, you can use this entrance for a speedy entrance.  No queues, just scan your ticket and walk in. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pradoentrance1d\">Entrance 4 &#8211; Puerta de los Jer\u00f3nimos<\/h3>\n<p>Located at the eastern side of the museum, you can use this entrance too if you\u2019ve booked your tickets online. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pradoentrance1e\">Entrance 5 &#8211; Puerta de Murillo <\/h3>\n<p>This entrance is said to have the shortest line and should be your go-to if you\u2019re in a hurry or have a packed day.  <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pradoentrance2\">Getting To Prado Museum Entrance <\/h2>\n<p><b>Car<\/b> &#8211; You can rent a car and drive to the museum, however, there\u2019s no parking available within the museum premises. So, you can opt for public car parking facilities around the museum.   <b>Bus<\/b> &#8211; Cibeles is the nearest bus stop to the museum. You can board bus numbers E1, N2 and N3. From the bus stop, it\u2019s a quick 5 minutes walk to the museum. <b>Taxi<\/b> &#8211; Taxis in Madrid are inexpensive and easily accessible, so if you don\u2019t want to rent a car you can simply hop into a cab and get dropped right outside the entrance of your choice.     <b>Metro<\/b> &#8211; There\u2019s a subway station next to the Prado Museum with Retiro being the nearest station (just a 5 minutes walk from there). There\u2019s also a train station called Recoletos which is another option if you\u2019re travelling via train.   <\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/tour\/19329\/TOUR-IMAGE\/12625827-5e5b-4562-abcf-ae3637530962-10409-madrid-prado-museum-guided-tour-04.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;h=750&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" width=\"723\" height=\"452\" alt=\"Prado Museum Entrances\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1808791525\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pradoentrance3\">Tips for your Prado Museum visit<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>It is advised to book your tickets online at least 24 hours in advance.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019ve booked your tickets online, you can pick the following entrances at Prado Museum: Puerta de Vel\u00e1zquez, Puerta de los Jer\u00f3nimos &amp; Puerta de Murillo.    <\/li>\n<li>Each entry point has a mandatory temperature check (should be less than 37.5\u00baC) <\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re looking for a speedy entrant, opt for Puerto de Murillo.
