Short Prado Museum Visit, Madrid

Considered the most important museum in Madrid (and one of the most popular in Europe), the Museo Nacional del Prado is perfect for anyone interested in Spanish, European, and international art—though, even novice art enthusiasts will enjoy this activity. With the help of a professional guide and skip-the-line tickets, you'll walk through the museum, learning about its history and global influence. Stop at the highlights and view incredible works of art from renowned creatives like Goya, Rubens, Titian, Bosch, and more. Because you'll be in a small group, your guide can tailor the experience to your interests.

You don't have to spend hours in a museum to appreciate the artwork, which is why this 90-minute tour is perfect for those who want to learn about Spanish and international art while focusing on the highlights. With a private guide (an expert in the art world) and a small group, you'll enjoy a catered experience through the Prado Museum, with plenty of entertainment. 

As you stroll through the halls, you'll discover little-known facts and anecdotes about the artists and their visions. For example, what's the meaning behind Goya's dark black background, and why does that differ so much from the golden glow of the Gothic era? What's the true story of Velázquez's Las Meninas, and did Bosch predict the future in the 15th century with The Garden of Earthly Delights Triptych? Stay entertained as your guide reveals these unique details and answers other inquiries you might have about the museum's vast collection.

Other must-sees at the Prado include Third of May 1808 by Goya, Las 3 Gracias by Rubens, The Cardinal by Raphael, and Venus and Adonis by Titian, but, again, your guide will ensure you see the works that interest your group the most. After two hundred years, the Prado is still one of Spain's most treasured and important museums, revealing secrets and symbolism that your guide will happily share with you.
