While the wait to enter was longer than I anticipated, our guide, Laura, effectively used the time to explain major artworks. Her knowledge regarding technique, perspective, and use of light was extensive. We also appreciated her insights into the period in which the work was executed and information about the artist . She was exceptional!

I really enjoyed these two museums. The Royal Palace is impressive with its grand rooms and chandeliers... it reminds me a little of Versailles in France. The Prado Museum is huge. I spent five hours there without even realizing it. I highly recommend them; they are the soul of Madrid.

Headout thank you! I had best experience with buying tickets from your app. Easy, affordable and comfortable when visiting site. I purchased tickets for Royal Palace and Prado in Madrid and very easily accessed both places. I will use this app in the future.

Nice museum. Quite busy. The Headout audio tour we purchased wasn't very good. No clear route and lots of different voices. The information in the audio tour is quite superficial. I wouldn't recommend it; just use the museum's audio tour, which is also cheaper.

This museum is simply impressive. The works are magnificent. It's important to prepare your visit well to get the most out of it. I had made a list of the works I absolutely wanted to see and the rooms in which they were exhibited. I also let myself wander around and made some wonderful discoveries. On the downside, I had booked a guided tour 3 weeks in advance, but it was cancelled without explanation the day before it was due to take place. I had to buy tickets for "general" admission.

It's very convenient to buy tickets online via the app. We avoided a very long line, which would have taken at least an hour. This museum is a must-see, a mandatory stop. Precious art to admire, a very beautiful, huge museum with a bar area.

I liked that our guide showed a few significant historical painting and pointed to details, I would have not known to look for or understood their significance. He was knowledgeable in art history. I feel enriched.
