After a quick inquiry about where to exchange the digital tickets for paper ones—which had been mentioned when purchasing tickets for the Prado—we had to walk past a very long queue of people to a counter. With only two people ahead of us, a friendly lady handed us our admission tickets after an estimated five minutes, to our delight. Everything was straightforward and worked out very well. Highly recommended!

The three museums were absolutely outstanding worth so much more than the price of admission! The art walk pass enabled us to walk in without standing in line. This saved us hours of time and allowed us to enjoy the artwork without stress. Obtaining the tickets was very simple recommends without any reservations.

Tickets worked with no issues, modern art museum was closed on the Tuesday so we came back at the end of our trip and the pass still worked . All 3 are well worth the visit.

awesome art and museums. i was suprised that prado museum doesn't let you take photos or videos. i've been in numerous museums in france, italy and spain. and the prado museum is the only that does not allow it. besides this, all three have memorable art.

That's all well and good, but at one ticket window, the staff wasn't very familiar with the system. That didn't stop us from having some great visits, though.

Very convenient for people who want to visit the three museums during their stay or over the year, and economical for full-price tickets.

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 Including 7,500 paintings, 8,000 drawings, 4,800 prints, and 1,000 sculptures and other artworks and historical documents.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.
