My experience buying tickets through Headout is that tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged if necessary. Due to the Lufthansa strike, we were unable to visit Park Güell, and we ended up losing those tickets. Next time I’ll use the GetyourGuide service, because they allow you to cancel tickets up to 24 hours in advance. There are no photos from the Prado Museum, because photography is prohibited there

Liked - good facilities and plenty of wonderful art to enjoy. In fact probably too much! Disliked - queue to get in (go later when the queue to get through security is small and pre-purchase tickets) and the prices of food and drink. (Photos only allowed in a couple of rooms)

We were able to enter the Prado immediately without having to wait in line. That was great, since you really need plenty of time to admire the wonderful art treasures. Booking online in advance saves a lot of time and hassle.

A visit to the museum is a must during your stay in Madrid. The exhibits are not to be missed. Booking tickets for the times that worked best for us was definitely the right choice—I highly recommend it.

No problems getting in. There was a dedicated line for online reservations, and the wait time was minimal even though it was almost peak hours! The Royal Palace is absolutely stunning—both the rooms and the armory. Highly recommended

    I thought I’d be able to skip the line at the entrance with my fast-track ticket, but that wasn’t the case—instead, I ended up waiting in line with everyone else, even those without fast-track tickets.

    A truly impressive collection of art by the Old Masters! Hieronymus Bosch’s "The Garden of Earthly Delights" impressed and surprised me the most. Unfortunately, cell phone photos aren’t allowed.

    The ticket did not include the audio guide or access to the special collections; the price was the same as a full-price ticket if we had bought it at the museum.

    There were a lot of people in line waiting to buy tickets. We skipped the line and waited 5 minutes. It was worth it.
