About this tour
Spend three hours with an accredited Prado guide unpacking masterworks by Velázquez, Goya, and El Greco housed in one of Europe's finest art collections. You'll skip queues and move directly into galleries holding paintings that shaped Western art. Madrid's Royal Palace—still the working residence of Spain's monarchy—awaits as an optional add-on, showcasing ornate Rococo interiors and the famous porcelain and throne chambers. Book one attraction or both; the choice is yours.

What to expect
Your guide will meet you at the Prado and lead you through the museum's highlights at a measured pace, explaining the historical context and artistic techniques behind celebrated paintings. You'll see works from the Spanish masters and European schools spanning centuries. If you've booked the Royal Palace add-on, you'll then move to that separate venue to explore gilded rooms, decorative arts, and the working chambers of the Spanish royal family. Expect around 90 minutes at the Prado proper, with additional time if combining both sites.
