Want to get around the Prado Museum line?
I promise I will stop writing about the painfully long lines everywhere you look in Madrid, starting with the lottery lines to the King's cake line, but seriously...look at this line at the Museo Nacional del Prado. People as far as the eye can see! I haven't seen a line of art lovers this long even at the Louvre.
Granted, Prado is an amazing museum featuring one of the finest art collections in the world and I understand people want to see it. What I cannot understand is why everyone is waiting in line (for up to 8 hours, I hear) to purchase tickets if you can get tickets online and bypass the line entirely.
Please, do Velazquez a favor, and do not give up on him. Next time you are in Madrid, go to an internet cafe, buy a ticket in advance and get around the people who clearly enjoy queuing up.
