One can't just drop in so give yourself time to queue
Pre-book and pay for ordinary admission. No need for special rate to get in early. I pre-paid ordinary price and jumped a queue of about 250 at 10 am, opening time.
It is well worth getting a guide for two hours. You can stay longer after the tour, which takes you to the more famous and interesting paintings. We chose a lunchtime slot and found that we were two of only four in the group. The guide was great; enthusiastic and informative. The Prado is always crowded with long queues to get in, a tour is not expensive and saves a good deal of time and energy if your stay in Madrid is limited.
