Wonderful museum with many masterpieces. It does take a few tours to do justice to all the pieces worth seeing. In addition, the Prado staff is extremely friendly and helpful in finding your way around (this is in great contrast to the attitude of the (hospitality) staff at Reina Sofia). We had a three in one ticket (Prado, Reina and Thyssen). In itself, we got value for money. Nevertheless, we appeared to be insufficiently prepared. There appeared to be different opening hours (one of the three closed early on Sunday) and there appear to be days when admission is completely free. That is a point for next time.

It was a very good experience: at the Thyssen and Reins Sofia museums we skipped the queue and got in immediately. At the Meadow we did a little 10-minute thing. We liked all three museums The Lawn outstanding. Too bad you can't take pictures, even without flash. Thanks!

The service worked very well; in each museum I only had to show the QR of my ticket and they gave you the ticket; I went in July and there were almost no lines, likewise, I consulted each worker before starting a line to know where to redeem the ticket. It is advisable to take a screenshot of the QR because sometimes it is hard to load the app in a hurry and.... the only detail I can say is that it is VERY tiring to visit three museums in one day but it is very rewarding. I recommend starting early, as soon as the Reina Sofia opens, around 12hrs have some lunch and go to the Museo del Padro, as it is the largest and where you will probably spend the whole afternoon; and around 5 go to the Thyssen which is usually the smallest and least visited.

The museum was amazing and better, in my opinion, than the Uffizi in Florence. We bought a three museum pass and information about how to use this could have been better -- even though it was advertised as 'skip the line' we still needed to go to the ticket office and collect paper tickets. Luckily the lines were short.

Prado of course is good but no photo allowed even without flash? Too strict. Been there before and it was allowed. Been to other museums all over the world and photos using phone camera without flash is allowed. Part of the experience in the 20th century is taking some photos of favorites memorable experiences. We are frequent museum visitors with GenZ visitors too. And to attract young people too this must be considered.
