El País

The Prado Museum in Madrid has reduced the maximum number of people per visitor group from 30 to 20 to improve the quality of visits. The director cited concerns about overcrowding, comparing it to rush hour on public transport, as the museum saw a record 3.5 million visitors in 2025. Group visits make up about 16.62% of total visitors.
