What To Expect

Museo Nacional del Prado

Head straight into the Prado with your guide and small group an hour before the doors open to the public. With an art historian to share the hidden stories and context behind every masterpiece, you’ll have the knowledge and space you need to fully appreciate the Prado’s incredible collection without the usual crowds. Have the iconic Las Meninas all to yourself, marvel at every hidden detail of The Garden of Earthly Delights up close, and view Goya’s haunting Black Paintings alone in a silent gallery. All of this and so much more awaits you on this once-in-a-lifetime early access Prado tour. Your tour ends just as the first public guests are entering the museum for the day. Feel free to continue exploring the vast collection on your own, or head out into Madrid to see even more of the vibrant Spanish capital with one bucket-list experience already checked off your list.
