What you will discover

Discover Spanish painting at the Prado with a private guided visit, from royal portraits by Velázquez to the worlds of Goya and Bosch.

The Prado is a starting point for understanding Spain through art. Its royal collections bring Spanish painters into conversation with Italian and Flemish masters, so a visit can connect the pictures with the court, beliefs and European exchanges that shaped them.

Your guide can introduce a selection of key works without assuming previous knowledge of Spanish history. Tell us whether this is your first visit or part of a wider art itinerary; the focus and the works to be discussed are planned around your interests and what is on view.

A private tour, shaped around you

We can adapt the itinerary to your group’s interests and pace. Tell us if you are travelling with children, need an accessible route or have a special request.
