What travellers are saying
- VictoriaSt. Paul's Bay, Malta13 contributionsPrado museum houses amazing fine arts by various artists. Purchasing tickets online ahead of your visit is highly recommended to avoid queuing up. Audio guides do not cater for all the paintings but only for specific ones. A visit is highly recommended.Written 23 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- lmphillyPhiladelphia, PA285 contributionsWonderful art gallery. Very close to Prado. A wide variety of art from different times. Many well known painters. Some less well known. From Europe and even some from the USA. It’s large. We spent 2 hours and could have easily spent another hour. Skip the audio. Well worth a visit.Written 21 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Shades100Newcastle upon Tyne, UK213 contributionsWe initially tried to access one of the free periods at this museum but with the queues were so long (and it was very heavy rain!) that the place would have been closed by the time we reached the front!!!
We booked online instead for the following day. Despite booking, we still had to queue in the rain for 45 minutes. The queue didn't seem to go any quicker than the one to buy tickets. Be sure to book on the official site. We paid 12 euros each but some sites are charging a lot more.
Once in we tried to prioritise what to see. After almost 3 and a half hours, we hadn't seen it all but were tired and ready for a snack! We really wanted to see Guernica but were astounded by how many hugely well known works were available. Unlike it many museums, you could get very close to each painting and take time to appreciate it. As well as works by Picasso, Dali and Miró, there were many artists from throughout Europe with whom we were unfamiliar. The temporary exhibitions were also included in our ticket.
It was a great visit and I'm not the most knowledgeable person about art!Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Set in the artist's exquisite villa you can learn about him and see many of his works.Written 25 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Diane B25 contributionsThis is an excellent museum covering pre-history through the modern era with a mix of artifacts and accompanying videos. It’s easy to find your way through this amazing collection of items that showcases the rich history of the Iberian peninsula. All signage is in English as well as Spanish and the entry tickets were very inexpensive.Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SKEArizonaarizona47 contributionsMy wife and I visited in April during Holy Week and waited probably one hour to get in.
What struck me is recently when I went back through all of my travel photos, I didn’t realize I had taken over three dozen photos in the museum and how stunningly gorgeous the rooms (and photos) were.
Incredible artwork, including Greco. Gorgeous tapestries and frescos on the walls and ceilings. Extensive collections from armor to books to pottery.
The entrance was magnificent with the marble staircases, artwork and chandeliers. The dining room, pool room, library, bedrooms and ball room all made for outstanding photos.
So understand this museum is not for all and certain friends I would advise to hit a tapas bar instead. However, some will really enjoy this former mansion and relish that the crowd inside is limited contributing to a very pleasant visit.Written 16 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Will recommend some background music for video shooting then customers can dance and enjoy more while being filmed.Written 15 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rocky Linden25 contributionsWe thoroughly enjoyed the Naval Museum. The replicas of ships were amazing, and the entire experience was educational while being very relaxing.
It was a lovely way to spend a morning.Written 2 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

While i've Breń inside, exhibitions wasn't do great, that why i give only four stars.
For plus i also can recommend restaurant inside, IT waśń just a coffe shop but really good placeWritten 9 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not many people which makes it a joy to visit. Everything is Spanish and English. Most exhibits have extra information besides just artist and title.
There are introductions to each floor (Spanish and English) as well as to every room (Spanish and English).
Lots of QR codes but no Wifi.
You may take photos as per usual: no flash, no selfie stick, no tripod
Not sure about audio guides. I was not asked/offered one when buying my ticket.
Important: The lockers are before! you enter trough the second door to get to the ticket counter (on the left and the right). And the toilets are past the ticket counter on the left going down one floor. Very clean!
The only thing I found sad was that there is no English guide book in the shop. There are some nice ones but all in Spanish.Written 27 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you are in the neighbourhood and are looking for a place to chill for a while, this is pretty cool. There is a restaurant inside and they host shows/ music at night. There’s an open courtyard with some interesting architecture to explore and places to sit and relax away from the busy streets.Written 25 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ros13673Amsterdam, The Netherlands56 contributionsIt was a bank holiday so entrance was free, but otherwise it is good value too. It is a nice small museum and it is like going back in time with antique furniture and artworks. Read a bit up before visiting, which will make it more special.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GreentreeMASudbury, MA551 contributionsThis street houses over a dozen tapas restaurants and bars, just within a block or two. It is right next to Plaza Mayor, very easy to get to and close to the center of the city. The area's tapas places are frequented by tourists and locals alike. We found ourselves in La Tempranilla, which I reviewed on TA, and both the food and wine there were excellent. Little or no English was spoken, although there were menus in English available, and there were mostly locals there at the bar while we were eating, so it was not primarily aimed at tourists. As with many Spanish eating establishments, opening times are usually 8-8:30 and the action often doesn't pick up until substantially later.There were a handful of places that were open before 8, and these were geared towards tourists. We were not out past 10 but I'm sure the street must get very lively later in the evening!Written 6 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- leonard mEdinburgh, UK441 contributionsThis Museum/Gallery was situated quite near our hotel but we passed it several times before realising that it was an establishment open to the public (the entrance is quite unassuming). It is well worth a visit. We were initially lured in by the poster promoting Goya etchings of which there proved to be a great many (including the copper plates). Very interesting and instructive to see that process and to appreciate the astonishing technical talent of the artist. The main collection was originally assembled to serve as models for academic art teaching, so a different agenda to most major city galleries. There are fifteen rooms in all and distinguished by specific individual themes - so for example Room 1 is "Renaissance Diversity". It is a lovely building with a fantastic cross section of mostly Spanish art including some of the big names. It was quiet at the time of our visit and a good choice to visit if you find the nearby Prada too busy.Written 10 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pavla R2 contributionsI had an excellent experience visiting the museum. I did not have a reservation and nearly did not get in as the house can only take limited numbers . The friendly staff accommodated me when a booked group did not turn up and I had a "private" tour.Written 8 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
