Staying near the Prado: what you need to know

What is the Prado Museum?

The Museo Nacional del Prado opened in 1819 in Juan de Villanueva’s building on the Paseo del Prado. It holds the world’s finest collection of Velázquez and Goya, as well as works by Bosch, Titian and Rubens. Together with the Thyssen and the Reina Sofía it forms the so-called Art Walk, and the boulevard and the Retiro have been a World Heritage Site since 2021.

How to get there

The nearest metro stations are Banco de España (line 2) and Estación del Arte (line 1). Atocha station is about ten minutes’ walk away, the Thyssen five and the Puerta del Sol fifteen. The museum is free for the last two hours of every day: staying nearby lets you go without rushing.

When rooms are hardest to find

The museum is open all year and the hotels around it are always in demand, with peaks at Easter, on the autumn long weekends and in December. Big temporary exhibitions also bring in visitors from outside Madrid.

Which area to choose

Just to the west is the Barrio de las Letras, with pedestrian streets and Lope de Vega’s house museum. To the east, the Retiro and the quieter, more elegant Jerónimos neighbourhood. To the south, the Atocha area, handy if you arrive by train.
