One of the world's most important picture galleries.
The Prado is one of the world's oldest and most famous art galleries and it is without doubt a real highlight of any visit to Madrid. The museum has over 9000 paintings, around 2300 of which are on display. The main focus here is on Spanish painting.

Massive museum, part of a multi-museum complex. I opted for just the basic ticket and wasn't disappointed. The Prado has a great collection, including The Garden of Earthy Delights by Hieronymous Bosch.

A not-to-be-missed museum, this place hosts some very well-known pieces of art, including Velazquez's Las Meninas, Fra Angelico's Annunciation, Bosch's creepy triptych: the Garden of Earthly Delights, and a bunch of stuff from Goya.

The best art gallery in the world...?

Very huge museum, you need at least 4 hours to watch all the art work very quickly. Don’t miss the Bowel pain of Crespi. Ideal for the classic painting art lovers.

Be aware this place is closed on Mondays…

Those who can not cope with old ham, should rather visit the Reina Sofia of Modern Art, or the Museo del Jamon, for fresh ham and beer.

One of the best museums in the world!

A paradise for fans of painting: You can easily spend several days here without seeing a painting twice. If you are in a hurry, focus on an epoch or an artist. My favorite: Caravaggio.
