Step by Step

The Prado Museum is one of the most prestigious museums in the world, and this guided experience offers you a privileged way to discover its most emblematic works. With preferential access, you'll avoid the long queues and delve straight into the history of universal art.

Throughout the tour, your guide will take you through the main rooms of the museum, offering you context, curiosities and anecdotes about the most important pieces. You will contemplate in detail iconic paintings such as Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, Velázquez's Las Meninas and Goya'sThe Third of May 1808, and you will learn about the geniuses who created them.

This experience is perfect for art lovers and first-time visitors alike, as the Prado's enormous collection can be overwhelming without an expert guide. In addition, the radio guide system ensures that you can hear the explanations clearly at all times.

The tour also includes information about the history of the building that houses the museum, from its construction as the Gabinete de Ciencias to its conversion into Spain's leading art gallery.

Once the guided tour is over, you have the option to stay inside the museum for as long as you wish to continue exploring at your own pace.
