The experience
Direct entry to Spain’s national collection — Velázquez, Goya and El Greco, at your own pace.
The Prado holds Spain’s national collection of European painting from the twelfth to the early twentieth century — Velázquez’s court portraits and Las Meninas, the full range of Goya from formal commissions to the Black Paintings, and El Greco, Titian, Rubens and Bosch alongside them, in one of the world’s most complete single collections.
This ticket is for direct, timed entry rather than a guided tour, so the visit runs entirely at your own pace — well suited to travellers who would rather set their own route through the galleries than follow a fixed one.
