As you walk this beautiful boulevard and see iconic monuments, like the Cibeles Palace, Central Bank and the fountains of Neptune and Apollo, you’ll learn how the kings and queens of two separate royal dynasties gave this area much of its monumental splendour. 

Your city stroll ends on the steps of the Prado, one of the world’s greatest art museums. With skip-the-line tickets, you’ll step inside with your expert guide and enjoy a full tour of the museum’s highlights, including works by Goya, Velazquez, El Greco, and Hieronymus Bosch. Whether you are a seasoned art lover or have never set foot in a museum, your guide, who has spent years studying art, will introduce you to some of the greatest works of Western art in a way that is both accessible and engaging.
