Overview

Embark on a route through El Retiro's most famous sites such as the Crystal Palace and the Felipe IV Gate, as well as some places that are not listed in guidebooks.

El Retiro has more than 19,000 trees of 167 different species, a lake, and a variety of different sculptures, important buildings, and gardens that make the park one of the most famous in the world and one of the main attractions in Madrid.

Then, you will take a walk along the Paseo del Prado until you reach the Museum, where you can enjoy all the beauty and history of The Prado Museum, the main Spanish national art museum.

Explore one of the greatest art museums in the world without having to queue and awe at the splendorous works of Francisco Goya, the single most extensively represented artist, as well as by Hieronymus Bosch, El Greco, Peter Paul Rubens, Titian, and Diego Velázquez.
