This tour takes you into the Royal Palace of Madrid, the former residence of the Spanish royal family, with priority entry. The guided tour runs in small groups of up to 8, so you hear your licensed guide up close as you learn about the history of the Spanish monarchy. You pass through official rooms such as the Throne Room, the Gala Dining Room and the Royal Chapel, as well as the lavishly decorated private quarters of the royal family, and admire a vast collection including paintings by Goya and Velázquez, porcelain, antique clocks and armor. There is also an option to explore freely with an audio guide on your phone, without a guide.
The guided tour starts after you check in at the Amigo Tours office. Your guide gathers the group and introduces the tour for about 15 minutes around Plaza de Ópera, then you walk about 10 minutes to the palace. You enter through a special entrance without queuing, and in a small group of up to 8 you listen comfortably to the commentary through an individual radio guide system.
Located right next to Plaza de Oriente and also known as the Palacio de Oriente, the Royal Palace of Madrid is now used only for receptions, ceremonies and official events. For about 1 hour 30 minutes, you visit official rooms such as the Throne Room, the Gala Dining Room and the Royal Chapel, as well as the royal family's private quarters, each with its own character.
The palace holds a vast collection including paintings by Goya and Velázquez, tapestries, porcelain, antique clocks, armor and works of art. With your guide, you learn about the history of the Spanish monarchy while admiring the artworks throughout the palace.
With the audio guide tour option, you explore the palace at your own pace without a guide, listening to a mobile audio guide sent to your phone. Show your ticket at the palace ticket office to enter.
※ The guided tour takes about 2 hours from check-in time.
