PALACIO REAL 2

Royal Palace of Madrid Small-Group Tour

About the Royal Palace of Madrid

The Royal Palace of Madrid is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family, although today it is mainly used for state ceremonies. Built in the 18th century on the site of the former Alcazar, it combines baroque and neoclassical architecture, reflecting the splendor of the Spanish monarchy. Its halls, staircases and patios offer a journey through centuries of history, art and power, with more than 3,000 rooms decorated with furniture, tapestries and works of art of great value.

What to see during the visit

During the tour, highlights include the Throne Room, the Royal Armoury and the Gasparini Rooms, decorated with frescoes and tapestries. Among the painting collections, works by Goya, Velázquez and Caravaggio can be admired, along with clocks, porcelain and an impressive collection of carriages. The visit, conducted in a small group, allows you to enjoy the Royal Chapel, its rich ornamentation and the artistic legacy of centuries of monarchy at a more relaxed pace.
