If there is one landmark in Europe that you simply cannot miss, it is the Royal Palace of Madrid. With more than 3,000 rooms, this is the largest functioning palace in Europe—double the size of Buckingham Palace! Step into a world of opulence and discover the history of this imposing building, shaped by the Habsburgs and the Bourbons, the dynasties that brought eternal splendor to the city. This is an immersion into the power, art, and secrets of one of the world’s most influential monarchies.
On this tour, we navigate the historic heart of Madrid, starting at the iconic Puerta del Sol, the neuralgic center where all Spanish roads begin. As we walk through the old town, we explore the grand Plaza Mayor before heading to a stunning mirador (viewpoint) to admire the architectural harmony between the palace and the Almudena Cathedral. Finally, we make our way to the Royal Palace, where we skip the long lines with fast-track access to explore its magnificent interior, from the grand staircase to the lavishly decorated state rooms.
The Royal Palace of Madrid is usually fully booked several days in advance. Make sure to book ahead before all tickets are sold out!
