Prado Museum Guided Tour, Madrid
Taking a guided tour of the Prado Museum is one of the best decisions you can make on any trip to Madrid. Walking through this 18th-century building, full of history, and admiring the treasures displayed in each room is a privilege not to be missed in Spain’s capital. Among the great works on display are paintings by Velázquez, Goya, Rubens, Titian, El Greco, and Bosch. Some of the masterpieces in its galleries are already part of the Art History we all studied in school. Recognizing these incredible pieces is truly exciting (Goya’s “La Maja Vestida” and “La Maja Desnuda,” Velázquez’s “The Forge of Vulcan,” or Caravaggio’s “David and Goliath”).
Accompanied by a professional guide, you will uncover the secrets of the Prado’s enormous collection, which includes over 8,000 paintings, more than 9,000 drawings, over 950 sculptures, and more than a hundred maps—not to mention the works stored in the museum’s reserves that are not on display. Learning the stories behind each artwork, the great artists who created them, and the evolution of art makes for an unforgettable experience.
A major advantage of this guided tour is that you don’t have to worry about tickets or waiting in line, as everything is included. Children up to 3 years old enter for free.
