7. The Best Way To Book Your
Ticket To The Prado Museum
You should absolutely buy your ticket to the Prado in advance. The
tickets are timed-entry but are good for the entire day so if you want
a long visit, go in the morning. Print the tickets if you can so you
don't have to worry about lack of wifi or a dead battery.
With your ticket in hand, you can go directly to the museum's
Velazquez entrance (the central entrance in the middle of the
museum's grand facade) and you're in.

8. The Best Time To Visit The Prado
Museum
The best time to visit the Prado is between the hours of 9am and
10am before the museum opens. However, this luxury will cost you
€50,00 per ticket. The Prado is busiest between 11am and around
2pm. Tour groups don't often book slots pre 11am so arrive close to
10 for a quieter start.
However, in our opinion, the best time to visit the Prado is
between the hours of 3pm and 5pm.

9. The Prado Audio Guides
The Prado's audio guides are top notch but are not included in the
ticket price. There are also different guides for permanent and
temporary exhibitions. Children's audio guides are free with an adult
ticket but are only available in Spanish and English. We recommend
taking an audio guide for the permanent collection but temporary
exhibitions usually include a great deal of interpretation that makes
an audio guide unnecessary.
