It goes without saying that you cannot come to Madrid without a visit to the Prado. Considered one of the great art museums of the world, it is Madrid’s biggest attraction. The unique collection contains more than 8000 paintings by masters including Goya, El Greco and Velázquez. There are also temporary exhibitions in addition to the main collection. You can buy advanced tickets on the website to beat the queues, which might be a good idea to beat the huge queues on weekends
