Madrid, Spain: The Prado Museum, A Kid-Doable Must-Do

The Prado houses one of the most important collections of European art in the world and probably the largest collections of works by Spanish masters Goya and Velasquez. Therefore, it is truly a must-do in Madrid. And while the lifts could be better designated, they do exist, and the noise levels match a railway station rather than a museum with thousands of tourists teeming through the halls, so you won't feel embarrassed about your little one going berserk and screaming amidst the great masters!

When you are done, have a bocadillo or coffee or fresh fruit at the cafe or let bubby loose in the extensive museum grounds. The bookshop has cute and clever toys, books and knick-knacks but it is extremely crowded, so make sure bub is in his/her pram. 


Worst (best?) case, the art might bore them to sleep (see below).
