If you find yourself in Madrid, you will not regret making time for the Prado. Whereas some museums, like the Hermitage, go for quantity, the Prado seems to pride itself on extreme curation. It did not feel like a huge museum (at least the tour of it that I did), but every single room had at least one true masterpiece.
- totoglazer 8y agoAgree, the Prada is easily one of the best museums of its kind in the world.
- adilmoujahid 8y agoAlso make sure to check out Reina Sofia museum. It's a walking distance from the Prado and it has master pieces from Picasso and Dali
- CaptainZapp 8y agoI agree. Do also visit the Reina Sofia[1], mostly dedicated to (modern) Spanish art. It's your chance to experience Picasso's Guernica[2] in real. To me it was one of the most moving and impressive, while also disturbing exhibits I've ever seen in any museum.
