Skip the lines and immerse yourself in the history of this beautiful place. Did you know that its size is twice that of Buckingham Palace? Built in the Italian Baroque style, it was the former residence of the Spanish Monarchy from 1766 to 1931. Today, it remains a great example of the establishment of Madrid as the capital of the kingdom.
Currently, the most important receptions of the Royal Crown are held there. Find out what hearings, gala dinners and signing agreements have been held over the years. Stroll through the Plaza de Armas. Marvel at the impressive tapestries and rooms decorated with elegant antique furniture. Follow your guide through the Grand Staircase, the Throne Room, and the Gala Dining Room, among others.
Once the guided tour is over, you can visit the Royal Armory on your own. Make sure you don’t miss the views from the Plaza de Armas viewpoint!
