What to expect

Skip the line and enter directly into the Royal Palace for this unforgettable guided tour!

Get ready to discover the Royal Palace which was built in the XVIII century upon the ancient Baroque Italian style fortress of the Habsburg. It is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved palaces in Europe and a symbol of the permanence and consolidation of Madrid as the capital of the Kingdom. The Palace was the official residence of the Spanish Monarchy from 1765 to 1931. To date, the most stunning receptions of the Spanish Crown are celebrated here: audiences, dinner parties, the signature of agreements and the traditional ceremony of presentation of Credential Letters from foreign ambassadors to the King.

Don't miss the opportunity to learn about the monarchy lifestyle, admire the impressive architecture, the artworks by the world-famous painters' Goya and Velázquez, as well as the marvelous English gardens accompanied by a professional guide.
