MadridPrado Museum Tickets

If you spent a minute on every artwork in the Prado, you’d be here for more than 24 days. That’s how massive it is—over 2,000 pieces on display, with nearly 18,000 more in storage. But don’t let that overwhelm you. The trick is knowing what to look for. Goya’s haunting Black Paintings, Velázquez’s Las Meninas, Bosch’s surreal Garden of Earthly Delights—it’s impossible to see everything in one visit. But that’s the beauty of it! Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, the Prado always has more to show you.

Before we jump straight in, here are some things we bet you didn’t know about the Prado Museum! Let’s see how many you can tick off!

Did you know these about the Prado Museum?

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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

  1. 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.

Every part of the palace makes us imagine what life is like for royalty. It transports you to that world and is so exciting that you want to find out more about this world that is so different from the lives of people who do not have the privilege of living that way. Everything is beautiful, and you are amazed by every detail of every place we enter.

We enjoyed the tour very much. We took line 2 (Modern Madrid) and then line 1 (Classic Madrid). We want to congratulate the manager Salvatore. He guided us wonderfully and had a great last minute idea: he suggested us to get off and take line 2 (the back bus) first; this way we could enjoy both lines in a row. Congratulations!
