About Prado Museum: Skip The Line Ticket + Guided Tour

Skip the notorious queues and dive straight into the artistic wonders of the Prado Museum with an expert guide. Discover masterpieces by Velázquez, Goya, and Bosch as you explore one of the world's premier art galleries. This 2-hour tour brings the former Spanish Royal Collection to vivid life.

Local Legends & Stories

The museum's collection was largely built by the Spanish monarchs in the 16th and 17th centuries, reflecting their personal tastes rather than an encyclopedic gathering of art. It is said that King Philip IV was so close to Velázquez that he personally painted the red cross of the Order of Santiago on the artist's chest in 'Las meninas' after the painter's death.

  • Stand before Velázquez's masterpiece, 'Las meninas', and uncover its complex perspectives.

  • Experience the raw emotion of Goya's 'El dos de mayo' and 'El tres de mayo'.

  • Admire the beauty of Rubens' 'Las tres gracias' alongside your knowledgeable guide.

Hidden Gems

  • Ask your guide about Goya's 'Black Paintings' for a haunting look into the artist's later years.

  • Take a moment to admire the museum's neoclassical architecture, originally designed as a cabinet of natural history.

  • Don't miss the Dauphin's Treasure, a spectacular collection of decorative arts often overlooked by rushing tourists.

What Makes it Special

  • Skip-the-line access saves you hours of waiting outside one of Spain's most popular attractions.

  • Includes a comprehensive 2-hour tour led by an official art expert in English or Spanish.

Overview

Based on the former Spanish Royal Collection, the Prado is a beautiful old castle with more than a thousand fascinating works on display. From Spanish masters like Velázquez and Goya, to works by Titian, Rembrandt, El Greco, Rubens and more, this is a must-see for the art lover. And with this skip-the-line ticket you'll get right in - to both the Permanent and Temporary Exhibitions!Welcome to one of the world's premier art galleries. The more than 7000 paintings held in the Museo del Prado’s collection (although only around 1500 are currently on display) are a penetrating look at the celebrated history of Spanish art. The collection includes a large number of paintings by Spanish Golden Age golden boy Velázquez, and an overview of the somber, sometimes darkly psychological, works of Goya - widely considered to be the most important Spanish artist of his era. And it's not just Spanish art - Prado has works by a number of Flemish masters: Peter Paul Rubens, Pieter Bruegel, and Anton Van Dyck. And their collection also includes the remarkable Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, a weird-as-heck - and thoroughly wonderful - triptych. Full of hallucinatory images of hedonism, it's thought to perhaps be a warning against the temptations of pleasure-seeking but, on the other hand... he makes it all look good.With one of the world's finest collections of European art from the 12th century to the early 19th century, housed in a splendid castle, the Museo del Prado is one of the most visited art museums in the world. When you're there, you'll know why. Make sure to give yourself of time, and go at a relaxed pace; there is so much to see here that it can be overwhelming if you try to race through. Instead, slow down and spend as long as you can - this is Spain, there's no need to rush.
