Unfortunately, the ticketing system is not functional and we had to wait in two lines to get in. First at the ticket office and then at the 'entrance. The tour, on the other hand, is well organized and you can easily find the things you are interested in

I bought my ticket online and went through without queuing. I arrived around 5.45pm and there was nobody at the entrance. People who had bought their free ticket on the Prado Museum website were waiting in the long queue at 6pm to get in. Museum staff very ANTIPATHIC! Not a smile, not a hello, and barely answer you when you ask them a question. What a shame! The museum is magnificent! Make a day of it! It's 2 storeys high and your eyes hurt on the way out! But it's not interesting for children! It's too long and of no interest to them because there are too many paintings! The bag deposit is free. But I loved it! Bravo to the city of Madrid!

Audio guide set up very poorly. We walked through the same halls several times to find the works described. The rooms are poorly marked and you waste a lot of time finding matches. Also, some works were out in other exhibitions but were listed anyway.

Buying my ticket has been extremely easy and I hadn't to wait more than a minute to access the Prado: never experienced an easier way to book, buy and have my ticket at my disposal. Seeing other people in the infinite line made me think it's been a great choice. Absolutely recommended.

The presentation of all the works of art are excellent and the order and narrative make the visitor is introduced in each passage of history, social, war, religious and political history of the time, I leave satisfied and amazed to have had and shared with my wife this experience: +1:
