• Prado National Museum - Begin your tour by bypassing the line to enter the Prado art museum, which houses one of the world’s most remarkable collections of European art. Skip the crowds and head directly inside to enjoy a comprehensive tour of the museum’s highlights. Along the way, you’ll encounter the masters who have shaped Spanish art over the centuries, from the court painters of the Spanish Royal Family to iconic artists like Goya, Velazquez, El Greco, Bosch, Tintoretto, and more. Your guide will share the stories behind the art and explain what makes each piece so renowned—something that is difficult to achieve on your own in a museum with over 1,000 pieces on display!

For a VIP experience, opt for the Prado Early Access option, which offers a guided tour of the galleries one hour before they open to the public.

• Plaza Mayor - After leaving the museum, you’ll wander through the medieval streets of central Madrid, stopping at famous landmarks like the Plaza Mayor and the Puerta del Sol. Your guide will narrate the story of how the city evolved from an outpost of a declining Moorish empire to a leading Catholic power in Europe. While these streets are steeped in history, today they are among the city’s trendiest neighborhoods. Your guide will also provide tips on where to eat, shop, and relax to make the most of your stay.
• Puerta del Sol - Enjoy sightseeing and a photo opportunity.
• Royal Palace of Madrid - Walk towards the breathtaking Royal Palace, where you’ll enter with skip-the-line tickets to explore an extraordinary collection of paintings and textiles in each room. During your guided tour of the world’s largest functioning royal palace, you’ll visit the impressive chapel, the king’s and queen’s dressing rooms, the throne room—where the king and queen still receive officials today—and more. You’ll also learn about Madrid’s most famous “mayor,” King Carlos III, who played a key role in shaping the modern city you’ve explored throughout the day.
