    We had to pay 10 euros to get the audio guides on site as we couldn't get them in the app. A real shame. Fortunately, the visits went well!

    There was no map provided and the palace itself seems to be undergoing some renovations. I am not against renovations at all, actually the opposite so we can keep these beautiful places in great shape but there should be communication to that affect so visitors can decide whether to visit or not
  • You don’t need to be a historian or an architectural aficionado to know that Monserrate Palace is a work of art. A summer residence bearing witness to the eclectic tastes of a bygone era with the main halls adorned with alabaster statues and decorative symbols. Ornate details never give the impression of being over the top, reflecting Indian and Moorish influences, that come together to birth beautiful design.

    On entry, you’ll receive a map that will allow you to truly get into the skin of the place. The best way to go about your tour would be to start by exploring the garden, through the scenic path. Along this winding path, you will see contrasting sceneries with waterfalls, ruined chapels, age-old araucarias, and palm trees. Home to 3,000 exotic species and separated by geographical areas, the garden offers a lens into the diverse origins of plants in the world.
