Description
Royal Palace Guided Tour, Madrid
The Royal Palace is an essential visit on any trip to Madrid—one of those noble buildings that is truly worth exploring with a professional guide who can reveal all its secrets. The size of this construction is astonishing. With almost 200,000 m² and 3,478 rooms, it is the largest palace in Western Europe.
The current building was constructed in the 18th century on the remains of the Royal Alcázar, which had been left in ruins after a disastrous fire. Philip V, the monarch at the time, wanted to build a palace in the French style, large and elegant like Versailles. Four architects worked over time to create the masterpiece you can admire today. From the very entrance, through a magnificent white stone staircase with marble decorations, you already begin to sense the grandeur of the place.
Inside, you will find sumptuous rooms such as the Throne Hall, where two lions guard the throne and a large chandelier hangs from the ceiling; the Banquet Hall, the Hall of Columns, the Royal Library... Equally fascinating are the Carriage Museum, the Royal Armory, and the Royal Pharmacy. Touring the palace and admiring its artworks from around the world or its incredible collection of musical instruments is a privilege not to be missed.
Having an expert guide adds valuable context to the magnificence you will witness. This visit is suitable for all types of travelers: friends, couples, families… and if your visit falls on the first Wednesday of the month, you can also see the changing of the guard. On top of that, you will enjoy skip-the-line access to the palace.
