When brought up to the staff they just said it wasn't their problem and shoved us out the door. Staff in the museum was pretty rude and follow you around like a criminal wherever you go. I went May 2021, tourism in Spain is just starting up again so the place was pretty empty and I could literally tell staff would follow me around room to room which felt very strange.

Seeing his painting, in reality, was breathtaking. For one thing, I never imagined they are so huge:) And apart from Velasquez, Prado's collection is a masterpiece after masterpiece, Goya, El Greco, Rubens.

No lockers, and no commercial locker facilities nearby. Back to hotel, drop backpack, back to museum. When I initially got my ticket, I was told I could return to get a *timed* ticket to enter the special exhibit. I asked what time I needed to return to ensure I got a ticket, and they said at latest an hour before closing at 8pm. Not knowing how long I would be in main museum, I chose not to get a timed ticket. When I went back to get ticket for special exhibition at 5:15pm I was told none were available. I asked if I could get one for the next day. No, sorry. That's a bummer. And why are photos not allowed???

You should take care of you customers and staffs as much as you take care of the art you are exposing !

The Prado is an amazing museum with an incredible collection of masterpieces from some of Spain's most famous artists including Velazquez, El Greco, G.. Read more »oya, Picasso and Miro. The collection is enormous so plan on spending a fair bit of time here. Do grab a guide which shows where the more famous pieces are displayed and visit the Prado's website to get suggestions on what to see if your time is limited. Regular admission is 15E but it is free 6:00pm to 8:00pm Monday to Saturday and 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Sunday. However, unless you arrive very early (a minimum one hour in advance) you will spend a long time in line (we gave up after 20 minutes). If your time in Madrid is limited and/or paying 15E is not an issue don't waste your precious time trying to get in for free.
