Madrid's Prado Museum holds over 7,000 artworks, including masterpieces by Goya and Velazquez. This walking tour begins at the statue of Francisco Goya outside the museum, where guests skip the line to enter. An art history expert guides visitors through the top highlights for about 1.5 hours, explaining key works and their backgrounds. After the tour, there is free time to browse the gift shop or get a snack. Following the museum visit, the tour continues with a walk through Madrid’s Literary Quarter, known for its connection to the country’s famous writers. The route then leads to Plaza Mayor, where the guide shares stories about the area's role in Spanish history. The final stop is Botín, the world's oldest restaurant. Guests enter before the usual crowds and receive a behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant’s cave, part of an old tunnel system beneath Madrid. They also see the historic kitchen with ovens over 300 years old. The tour finishes with a three-course traditional Spanish lunch featuring dishes like chicken and ham croquettes and Botín’s roast suckling pig. Two alcoholic beverages are included throughout the walking tour, which lasts about 4.5 hours in total.
