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.

The museum is in a beautifal building and has a monumentus collection that isvast and diverse. It has renowned works by famous psinters that one encounters like old friends. Personally I especially enjoyed seeing the work of Clara Peters as she was a renowned female painter of her time. There are apple services and the staff is very helpful and attentive. I was disappointed there is no free wifi which could have expanded by enjoyment and envolvement with the works. Overall a very worth while visit

The Prado is excellent but the entry system is not. Even with pre booked timed tickets we had to wait outside on a very cold day for over 30 minutes. The entrance for pre booked tickets is a narrow side door with a single security screen X-ray machine immediately inside the door. This compares very badly to other museums we have visited that have covered waiting areas and multiple X-ray machines

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.

Excellent tour. My guide for the tour was Anna-Christina. My guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. She turned an otherwise rainy, wet Sunday into one of the highlights of my trip to Madrid.
