Prado Museum Tours
Whilst visiting Madrid it is essential to go to the world famous Prado Museum
which houses several thousand works of art. A private tour is the ideal way to
gain an insight into the fascinating evolution of art over several centuries.
Some of the Prado's most celebrated exhibits are works by Goya, Velazquez, and
El Greco, but you'll also find the great works of Rubens and Titian.
After visiting the Prado with a licensed guide you will be driven to the Royal
Palace for another private tour. In total the visit lasts around four hours. The
Prado is closed on Mondays.
Seeing all the major works of the Prado in one visit is impossible so it may be
worthwhile considering which area of its art is of most interest to you. You
could concentrate on a tour of the works of Goya and Velazquez or extend this to
include the works of other great Spanish painters including the Ribera,
Velázquez and Murillo.
Alternatively you may prefer to take a tour of art's evolution through the
Flemish Paintings of the 15th century, the work of the 16th century School of
Venice, the Spanish Baroque period of the 17th century and the Goya era of the
18th century. Here you'll discover the major works of Bosch, Titian, El Greco,
Caravaggio as well as the Spanish greats.
