My mom and I spent a couple of hours in the Prado last year while we were on a tour of Spain. There wasn't one thing I disliked about the Prado. I understand now more why it's one of the foremost national museums in the world. The works by Goya , Valesquez and the ...
I am not really the type of person who is into art museums, but i was still able to enjoy everything here. I loved the Goya section. I went to the Prado about a week after i went to the Louvre, and I must say i enjoyed the Prado more. I don't know what it is, but it pulls you in. I would Definitely visit again if i could.

For those who appreciate history , culture and art
If you are in Madrid set aside time enough to enjoy the wonderful art collection at the Prado Museum. If you have a little extra money they have a shop in side with post cards of some of the paintings and books o the artists' history. The piece I enjoyed the most was to see La Guernica in person. It is so big and beautiful! In the gallery area ...

Fantastic. One of the greatest art museums in the world! The Goya are a must! The El Greco's are mind boggling! The Riberas and Velasquez are beyond words. The van der Weyden is not to miss.
