Tour description

Has it ever happened to you that you visit a museum and you don't even know where to start from the amount of works there are? If you want to know the Prado Museum and prevent this from happening to you again, this is your Free Tour !!.

We will visit the rooms of this fascinating place and I will explain its most important works in a different way. We will focus on the symbolism of the paintings, the secrets they hide, as well as the curiosities that make them so special; traveling to places like Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.

During our visit we will see some of the best known pictorial genres (portraits, religious paintings, mythological paintings ...) through such emblematic works as Las Meninas by Velázquez , Las Tres Graces by Rubens , El Jardín de las Delicias by El Bosco or Las Majas de Goya . You can not lose this!!!


In addition, I will tell you curiosities about the Prado Museum itself: Why is it called that? How was its collection formed? What happened to the works during the Spanish Civil War? ...
and much more!.

I'll wait for you in front of the Museum's ticket office, at the Goya statue, the only one that looks at the museum, unlike the one by Murillo and Velázquez. You want to know why? Sign up for the Free Tour and I'll tell you about it!

Information of interest to the traveler:

  • The entrance fee (€ 15 per person) is paid by each person. For over 65s, young card holders and large families the price is € 7.5. It is mandatory that it be purchased in advance before the start of the tour so that we can start on time.
  • The museum has a FREE schedule in the afternoons (Monday to Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.), so if it suits you and there are tickets left , you can reserve at this time.
  • I will provide you with more information after reserving your place.
  • In case you want to continue visiting it on your own, we will finish the visit inside the museum.
