Prado Museum

This museum is known for having one of the best art collections in the world. It has an important collection of Spanish paintings: for example, there are 140 paintings of Goya and 50 of Velázquez.

Among the masterpieces the following stand out: Velázquez' "Las Meninas" (Room 12) and "Las hilanderas" (Room 15A), Goya's "La familia de Carlos IV" (Room 32) and his famous "Maja desnuda" (Room 36), Rubens' "Las tres gracias" (Room 9), El Bosco's "El jardín de las delicias" (Room 56A), El Greco's "El caballero de la mano en el pecho" (Room 10A), among many others.

The permanent collection consists of Spanish painting between 1100 and 1850, Flemish painting between 1450 and 1800, British painting of the 18th and 19th centuries, sculpture, drawings and illustrations and decorative arts. For art fans it is an ideal place and if you want to spend an entire day visiting it, there is a cafeteria and a restaurant.

Every Madrileño worth their salt is always going on about how they think it’s one of the most important museums, with a great collection, blah blah blah. I´m joking about it because I don’t just think it’s true. I know it’s true. The Prado Museum is a must-see place for visitors in Madrid, like the Gran Vía or the Puerta del Sol. The place has magic: the magic of time, the magic of history, a magic which spreads throughout the streets of Madrid, filling visitors with wonder and reminding us of a era when it was at the forefront of Art and modernity. To visit the Prado is to almost touch History itself and totally immerse yourself in man’s greatest expression of his own humanity.

In my opinion, this museum was the most impressive thing in all of Madrid, where there’s plenty of things to impress you.

It’s located in a peaceful spot in the middle of busy Madrid. A place perfect for disconnecting from everything and enjoying the culture of past centuries.

It exhibit pieces of El Bosco, Rubens, Goya... if you visit Madrid it’s a must. Go full of time, it’s always crowded. It’s a little bit expensive, but if you’re a tourist you can enjoy some discounts

The Prado Museum is found in Madrid, enjoying a very privileged location. It’s surrounded by trees, monuments, and other symbolic sites in Madrid.

The Prado Museum is one of the main touristic sites in the city that must be seen.

You can see the masterpieces from the Spanish, Italian, and Flemish schools. It has a valuable collection of 8,6000 paintings and more than 700 sculptures.

The truth is that the Prado is fantastic. Its walls are covered in tremendous paintings.

Anyone who likes painting or appreciates art will thoroughly enjoy the Prado. There’s a lot to see.
