The detail

What's at Prado Museum

The heart is Spanish painting — Velázquez ('Las Meninas'), Goya (the 'Black Paintings', the 2nd/3rd of May), El Greco. A small add-on also covers the temporary exhibition.

The last two hours before closing are free — crowded but doable. Otherwise an online booking saves the queue. Closed on some holidays; check ahead.

The permanent collection is the heart of it, with rotating exhibitions that change a few times a year. An audio guide is worth the add-on — it turns a room into a story.

Who it's for

Best for people who like to take their time; less so for young kids without prep.

Practical

In season and at weekends, book ahead — the ticket queue for Prado Museum can run half an hour or more, and an online booking gives a timed entry slot. Check opening hours for your date (they change on holidays) and arrive about 15 minutes early. Most tickets are free to cancel up to 24 hours ahead.
