Prado Museum Guided Tour, Madrid
Overview
The Prado holds one of the world's great collections of European painting, and a guide makes sense of it in a couple of hours. You meet outside the museum on the Paseo del Prado and go straight to the masterpieces.
Stand before Velázquez's Las Meninas and work out who is really watching whom. Follow Goya from his bright tapestry designs to the haunting Black Paintings, see El Greco's elongated saints, and lose yourself in the strange world of Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights. Your guide picks out the stories behind the paintings and the Spanish kings who collected them.
After the tour you can stay in the museum as long as you like. The Prado is a short walk from Atocha, the Retiro Park and the Barrio de las Letras.
