Royal Palace Guided Tour



Experience Madrid’s magnificent Royal Palace on a fascinating guided tour.
Overview
Walk in the footsteps of kings and queens on a palace tour that includes the throne room, royal chapel, parade grounds and more.
Madrid’s Royal Palace is the biggest functioning royal palace in Europe. You’ll get to experience a flavor of its epic scale on this tour, which takes in some of its grandest, most important rooms and includes an illuminating commentary from your knowledgeable guide.
Cameras at the ready for the grand staircase, which sweeps majestically up to the first floor beneath a huge Giaquinto ceiling fresco. Look out also for incredible artworks from European masters including Goya, Caravaggio and Velázquez.
You’ll visit the royal armory, with exhibits that date back as far as medieval times, before stepping into the opulent splendor of the throne room. Here, golden lions flank sumptuous gilt-edged thrones, and dazzling chandeliers light up Tiepolo’s glorious fresco.
Afterwards, take a gentle stroll through peaceful Campo del Moro, the ornate English-style gardens to the rear of the palace, with their monumental neoclassical fountains.
