About this experience
Museo del Prado tickets with timed entry Book Museo del Prado tickets and see one of the world's finest collections of European art at a time that suits you. Founded in 1819, the Prado in Madrid fills three floors with masterpieces by Spanish and European painters, from Velázquez's Las Meninas and Goya's Black Paintings to El Greco, Titian, Rubens and Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. A timed-entry ticket gives you access to all permanent and temporary exhibitions and lets you skip the ticket queue, so you spend your time with the paintings rather than in line. Choose your Prado Museum ticket Timed entry tickets: guaranteed entry at the time slot you choose. Timed entry with audio guide: a digital audio guide in Spanish, English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian on the Prado Guide app, with the stories behind the most famous works. Timed entry with digital guidebook: a keep-forever guide with suggested routes, key artworks, tips and nearby landmarks. English-guided tour: an expert guide leads you through the highlights and explains the museum's history and collection. Not sure where to start? Most first-time visitors head for the Velázquez and Goya rooms, then find Bosch, El Greco and the Flemish masters. If you want an audio guide, bring your phone fully charged and your own earphones. How to get in and what to know The Museo Nacional del Prado is on the Paseo del Prado in central Madrid, between Atocha and the Retiro Park, at Calle de Ruiz de Alarcón 23. Depending on your option, you collect your ticket from staff near the Goya statue outside the museum or meet your guide at the Velázquez monument on the Paseo del Prado; your voucher confirms the exact meeting point. Your ticket skips the ticket line, but everyone goes through security. Photography is not allowed in the galleries, and food and drink are not permitted. Lockers, toilets and a cloakroom are available. The museum is wheelchair and pushchair accessible, with ramps and lifts, accessible maps and audio signage, and guide dogs are welcome. The Prado is closed on 1 January, 1 May and 25 December, and some rooms can close at short notice. Cancellation depends on the option you book. The English-guided tour can be cancelled for free up to 24 hours before it starts. Timed entry tickets, including the audio guide and guidebook options, cannot be cancelled, amended or refunded. Make the most of the Golden Triangle of Art Seeing more than one museum? The Paseo del Arte pass covers the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen-Bornemisza in one ticket.
