    Our guide was excellent. I got so caught up in the history and her explanations that I forgot her name. She's from Colombia but knows a great deal about history. She's kind, warm, attentive, and very knowledgeable—she's very well-prepared. We loved the tour.

The Royal Palace of Madrid is the official residence of the King of Spain, though the royal family does not reside there year-round. Located right in the heart of the Spanish capital, the Royal Palace is renowned for its architecture, extensive gardens and art collections.

Why visit the Royal Palace in Madrid?

Step into the Spanish royal residence on a guided tour of the Royal Palace. Erected in the 18th century, this palace replaced the Royal Alcázar, which was destroyed by a fire in 1734.

Inside, you'll explore lavishly adorned halls, priceless works of art, and historical collections. Immerse yourself in the opulence as you explore ceremonial chambers, the throne room, the royal pharmacy, and the breathtaking Sabatini Gardens.

Did you know...

The Royal Palace of Madrid is said to have secret tunnels. It is said that these passages were used by royalty to move discreetly between the palace and other strategic locations in the city. While the existence of these passageways is disputed, they continue to fuel royal conspiracies and intrigue!
