Why Visit the Prado Museum?

Located in the so-called Paisaje de la Luz, a beautiful area in the centre of Madrid declared a World Heritage Site, the Prado Museum is one of the most important art galleries in the world.

With a collection of 7600 paintings and 1000 sculptures, the Prado Museum houses an extensive exhibition of European and Spanish art. It has pieces by painters such as Velázquez, El Greco, Rubens, El Bosco and Goya.

In the Prado, you'll find masterpieces such as Las Meninas by Velázquez, The Garden of Earthly Delights by El Bosco, The Three Graces by Rubens or La maja desnuda by Goya.

This ticket includes access to the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions on the day of your visit. Please note that, on certain occasions, your ticket may not include access to certain temporary exhibitions.

In the latter case, you'll need to purchase the corresponding time pass on the day of your visit. Availability is subject to demand.
