Museo del Prado (Prado Museum)
Best time to visit
Arrive at opening or late afternoon on weekdays to avoid the largest tour groups; weekends and midday are busiest. Cooler shoulder seasons like spring or autumn offer fewer tourists and pleasant walking weather.
Budget tips
Standard tickets are around €15 when bought online; the museum usually offers free admission during specific evening hours—check the official site for current times. Consider the Paseo del Arte combined ticket for Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen to save money, and buy timed-entry tickets to skip the line.

About
快速信息: 走进展厅，油画的光泽和画布的细腻纹理会让你忘掉外面的喧嚣，仿佛能听见画面里的低语。收藏里超过八千件作品，但真正对外常展的只是精挑细选的一部分，所以每次来都像发现了新秘密。
亮点: 偷偷告诉你，1656年由迭戈·委拉斯开兹画的《宫娥》里有一面小镜子，镜中清晰映出国王与王后，画家还把自己画进画面，靠近能看到细密的刷痕和灰色的光影层次。还有更奇特的是，戈雅在他位于Quinta del Sordo的房子墙上画的14幅“黑画”在1874年被小心地移到画布上，近看仿佛能闻到老漆的霉香和厚重黑色油彩留下的颗粒感。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and plan a route using the museum map to avoid backtracking.
- Start in the Spanish painters' rooms to see Velázquez and Goya before galleries get crowded.
- No-flash photography for personal use is generally allowed, so keep your phone or camera ready but avoid tripods.
- Use the cloakroom for large bags and visit the quieter upper galleries for a calmer experience.
