Museo del Prado

The Museo del Prado is Spain's most popular tourist attraction and one of the finest collections of pre-20th century European art in the world. It ranks with the likes of the Louvre in France in must-see art museums, and is one of the most important stops you can make during your vacation in Spain. Reserve a car rental in Madrid for your visit to this, one of the world’s favorite museums.

Entry during the day to the museum is about 8 Euros, but if you come later in the evening the museum is free to enter from 6PM to 8PM, Tuesday to Saturday, and from 5PM to 8PM on Sunday. The Prado Museum is closed on Mondays. If you are spending a little time in Madrid you can save money on your visit to several different cultural locations with a Madrid Card or a Madrid Cultura Card, which provides free entry to the Museo del Prado.

Housing one of the largest collections of Classical paintings in the world, the Prado Museum is the most prestigious museum in Madrid. Over 300 works from the Spanish monarchy were assembled here, and it boasts more than 8,000 paintings - well over a day's worth of viewing! Plan your tour of this marvelous museum with the freedom of your own Madrid rental car.

The collections of El Prado include Spanish, Greek, Flemish and Dutch, Italian, German, French, and Sculpture. Some of the artists featured here include El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, Zurbarán, Ribera, Murillo, Bosch, and many others. In addition, the museum has its own souvenir store where you can pick up some unique souvenirs, postcards, prints, books, and other gifts to bring back home.****
