What to expect
Your guide meets you and whisks you past the main queues, heading straight into the Prado's galleries. You'll spend time with the collections—paintings, sculpture, prints—while your guide contextualises works within Spanish history and artistic evolution. After the museum, you'll exit into Retiro Park's sprawling grounds: manicured gardens, tree-lined paths, and the central lake reflect the city's pace from the 18th century onward. The tour moves at a conversational tempo, allowing you to absorb rather than rush.
Good to know
