The museum was impressive: we appreciated the fantastic collection. Very bad for us was the limited number of sanitary facilities, and also very hard to find. We were very satisfied and tired after the visit.

La visita guiada del museo el Prado estuvo excelente, sin embargo, la visita con Gabriel en el parque El Retiro dejó mucho que desear. En cada parada daba muy breves reseñas de algo de 2 minutos, algunas de mis preguntas no fueron respondidas, aspecto desaliñado, actitud demasiado seria casi aburrida.

Apparently, many others had early entry, as the Prado was rather crowded. Nevertheless, our guide was superb, and both museums were very interesting. Both should be on the list for anyone visiting Madrid

Did you know these about the Prado Museum?

Money heist gone wrong
In 1961, an unusual theft attempt occurred when a thief tried to enter the museum from the ceiling. Unfortunately for him, he fell through and died during the attempt, making it one of the more bizarre incidents in the museum's history.
Where it all started
The name "Prado," which translates to "meadow," refers to the location where the museum was built, originally a meadow known as the Hieronymites' meadow. The museum was officially named "Museo del Prado" in 1920, although it was initially known by other titles such as the Royal Museum of Paintings.
The "First Gioconda"
The Prado is home to a lesser-known painting that some refer to as the "first Gioconda." This refers to a work that predates Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa and showcases the influence of earlier portrait styles on later masterpieces.
The largest painting in the collection
The largest artwork in the museum is The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist by Bartholomäus Strobel, which measures an impressive 280 cm tall by 952 cm wide. This monumental piece exemplifies the grand scale of some of the works housed at the Prado
The "Spanish David"
The museum is home to a sculpture known as David by Donatello, which is one of only three known versions of this iconic work in existence. This piece is significant for its artistic merit but also for its rarity within the context of Spanish collections.

Itinerary of must-see paintings at the Museo del Prado

Las Meninas

Artist: Diego Velázquez
Date: 1656
Location: Floor 0, Room 012
Description: Often considered the pinnacle of Western art, this enigmatic painting captures a moment in the Spanish royal court, featuring Infanta Margarita Teresa surrounded by her entourage.

The Garden of Earthly Delights

Artist: Hieronymus Bosch
Date: 1490-1510
Location: Floor 0, Room 056A
Description: This triptych is a vibrant exploration of paradise, earthly pleasures, and hell. Bosch’s intricate details and surreal imagery challenge interpretations, making it a captivating piece that draws visitors into its fantastical world.

The Third of May 1808

Artist: Francisco Goya
Date: 1814
Location: Floor 1, Room 081
Description: A powerful depiction of the horrors of war, this painting illustrates the brutal execution of Spanish rebels by French soldiers. Goya’s use of light and shadow conveys deep emotion, making it a poignant commentary on human suffering.

The Descent from the Cross

Artist: Rogier van der Weyden
Date: 1443
Location: Floor 0, Room 058

The Nude Maja

Artist: Francisco Goya
Date: c. 1797–1800
Location: Floor 1, Room 036
Description: Celebrated for its bold sensuality, this painting features a reclining nude woman gazing directly at the viewer. Goya’s work challenges the societal norms of his time and remains an iconic representation of female beauty.

The Three Graces

Artist: Peter Paul Rubens
Date: c. 1635
Location: Floor 1, Room 029
Description: This enchanting painting depicts Aglaya, Euphrosyne, and Thalia—the daughters of Zeus—celebrating beauty and femininity. Rubens’ vibrant colors and dynamic composition capture a moment of joyful intimacy among these mythological figures.

The Crucifixion

Artist: Juan de Flandes
Date: 1509

Saturn Devouring His Son

Artist: Francisco Goya
Date: c. 1819–1823
Location: Floor 1, Room 093
Description: This haunting painting depicts the mythological figure Saturn consuming one of his children to prevent them from overthrowing him. Goya's raw emotion and dark themes make this piece both disturbing and compelling.

Tips to help you visit Prado Museum better

Seek out lesser-known works in the museum’s collection, such as José de Ribera's “The Clubfooted Boy” or Francisco de Goya’s “The Milkmaid,” which are often less crowded but equally captivating.
If available, join a thematic tour focusing on Spanish Romanticism or Baroque art. These tours often dive deeper into specific periods and styles, revealing connections between different artists and their works.
If you need a break, head to the museum’s reading room, which offers a quiet space to reflect on what you’ve seen and access art-related literature.
Restrooms are located on the ground floor near the café and another set near the temporary exhibitions area. Knowing their locations can save you time, especially during busy hours.
For a more peaceful experience, seek out quieter galleries like Room 50, which often has fewer visitors. This allows for uninterrupted viewing of masterpieces like Raphael's "The Cardinal."
Similarly, if you feel overwhelmed, take breaks in quieter areas like Room 51C, which houses 12th-century frescos. This room is often less crowded and offers a serene environment to regroup.
The Prado Café, located on the ground floor, offers light meals and refreshments. Plan your visit around lunchtime (between 2pm and 4pm) when crowds tend to thin out.
First time? Well, some paintings might look a bit…complicated, and honestly, not everyone’s a pro! But say you’re intrigued about a piece of art, what do you do? Just scan the QR right by the painting. These QR codes are strategically placed next to certain artworks, allowing visitors to scan them with their smartphones. The QR codes can link to multimedia content, including videos and audio guides, which bring the artwork and its background to life!
