    Of course the art is what made it memorable. We were glad to be able to take a break in the cafe. The maps were confusing and we missed galleries we wanted to see. The restrooms were hard to find.

    1) I was confused when I got to the venue as to why I didn't already have a ticket. At one of the venues, the ticket office person initially rejected it as a valid voucher. I had to explain to her that it was. 2) the tour groups at the Prado make the experience impossible to enjoy for independent travelers. You should try to reserve certain hours of the day when tour groups aren't allowed to operate. They monopolize all the masterpieces.

    The queue cutter is not useful, and the museum does not provide a brochure or map. You don't get an audio guide with a paid ticket.

    The experience with the guide Bianca has been incredible. We have enjoyed her detailed explanations, her attention, especially with my son who has been exquisite. She has made the guided tour simply fantastic. Thank you for everything Bianca! It was a pleasure to have met you.
