Museo del Prado

When you are in Madrid, you should go to the Prado – it’s definitely worth it! We arrived there on Sunday morning around eleven o’clock and the line was appr. 50 metres. Within 15 minutes we were inside of the museum. It seemed to be a good time, as when we left the Prado two hours later the line was already 200 metres long. So come around 10 or 11 o’clock in the morning and you don’t have to wait very long to get inside. The Prado itself is amazing with numerous of the world-famous paintings by Goya, Velázquez, El Greco…
(On Sundays you get in for free.)
