I loved how the Thyssen museum complemented the Prado perfectly. The collection was incredibly diverse, from Renaissance paintings to modern art, and the layout made it easy to enjoy each room without feeling overwhelmed. Some of the Impressionist and modern pieces were especially memorable, and the atmosphere of the museum was calm and elegant. It was a great way to experience different periods of European art in one visit.”

A great way to skip the lines, which are absolutely crazy, especially during long weekends and holidays. The museum staff are poorly informed and don’t know that guided tours in Italian are available—it’s a shame I only found out after the tour, directly from a young woman who works as an Italian tour guide.

This online booking method is really convenient. I have to say, I was also pleasantly surprised by the skip-the-line option—all handled conveniently online right from my smartphone. Plus, the ticket’s long validity period gives me a whole year to use it at an amazing price! Could it get any better?

Everything went very smoothly. Getting into the museums was quick and easy. However, you have to download the app to access your ticket. For those who prefer to print it out, this isn’t very convenient. But it’s the cheapest option I found for visiting the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen museums.

Convenient and very easy to use, even when exchanging the e-ticket for a paper ticket—it saved me from having to wait. I highly recommend it. Disappointed that photography is prohibited at the Prado Museum, even though it’s allowed at the Reina Sofía and Thyssen museums.

Easy to book the museum tickets and hassle-free museum entrance with the online voucher. Suggestion: doing 3 museums in one day is a little too much. Would have been great if we could spread the museum visits over 2 days.

Enjoy flexible or timed entry to the largest collection of Spanish art housed at the Prado Museum, with an optional on-site or digital audio guide.

Get the chance to view over 20,000 works ranging from Renaissance-era paintings by Bosch to 19th-century masterpieces by Antonio Gisbert.

Gain insights on famous pieces in the museum, from Las Meninas by Velázquez to Andromeda & the Dragon by Titian and more.

Upgrade to the Paseo Del Arte card and save on entrance fees of Madrid's 3 best museums — Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofia.

Fun fact: Prado Museum houses one of Francisco Goya’s most recognizable and morbidly brilliant oil paintings — Saturn Devouring His Son.

Es ging sehr schnell Dank der bereits gebuchten Tickets. Ich habe aber auch ein Ticket für Palacio Reale gebucht und bis heute noch keine Nachricht erhalten.

A cultural landmark

The Prado Museum is a site of huge national and global importance. Occupying an 18th-century neoclassical building, the museum is home to over 20,000 works of art. Including 7,500 paintings, 8,000 drawings, 4,800 prints, and 1,000 sculptures and other artworks and historical documents.

Bypass the arduous ticketing queue and, after a brief security check, you are free to roam Prado's galleries. The exhibits on display are spread over 3 levels: basement, first, and second.

Choose your own path

You can explore the museum's galleries for as long as you like. Some of the greats whose works adorn the walls are Francisco Goya, El Greco, Diego Velazquez, Hieronymus Bosch, Peter Paul Rubens, and Titian. Learn more about them with an optional on-site audio guide in 11 languages or a digital audio guide in 5 languages. If you are an avid fan of the arts you should upgrade to the Paseo Del Arte card. This one super saver pass will grant you access to Madrid's best museums — Prado Museum, Thyssen-Bornemisza museum, and Reina Sofia Museum.
