Guided tour of the Royal Palace of Madrid and Royal Gardens with entrance fee

Start by getting to know the palace's majesty and setting, which is located in the Plaza de Oriente opposite the main entrance.

This is the best place to get a historical introduction to this Madrid landmark and the monuments that guard it, such as the equestrian statue of Philip IV.

Afterwards, with skip-the-line entry, you can comfortably enter the interior of the Royal Palace with your expert guide, who will explain the secrets of the largest Royal Palace in Western Europe in detail.

Baroque in style and covering an area of some 100,000 m², the palatial facilities house more than 3,000 rooms that have been silent witnesses to key moments in the history of our country.

We will go up the main staircase with its two large lions sculpted in stone, and we will see the Salón de las Columnas, the former dance hall, with its chandeliers, introduced by Isabel II, which are worthy of admiration.

We will go back centuries to the Gasparini Room, where the King used to receive private audiences. The Gala Dining Room, the Royal Armoury and the Royal Chapel are some additional rooms we will discover with our guide before heading outside.

The Sabatini Gardens, located in front of the north façade, offer 2.66 hectares where you can travel with your imagination to the Madrid of the Habsburgs, which is an unbeatable backdrop for a monument of such calibre.

On the west side, the visit culminates with a stroll through the Campo del Moro garden, created by Philip II and declared to be of historical and artistic interest.
