Prado Pre-Visit Checklist: Ticket, Route, and Comfort Planning

Preparation does not reduce spontaneity. It removes avoidable friction.

Core Checklist

• Ticket and entry gate confirmed
• Top 10 works selected
• Route sketched in rough order
• Comfortable footwear chosen
• Break slot planned
• Backup time window saved

Optional but High Value

Night-Before Plan

1. Re-check opening details.
2. Set realistic visit duration.
3. Sleep enough to protect attention.

The quality of your Prado day starts the evening before.

Minimal Emergency Plan

If delay happens:
1) Keep only 6 must-sees
2) Prioritize one artist wing
3) Save the rest for next visit

Bottom Line

Prado rewards prepared curiosity. Arrive with a plan, then let discovery happen inside that framework.
