I visited the Royal Collections Gallery at the Royal Palace in Madrid today. Everything was superb, I felt unexpectedly good and the whole visit was very well documented, with videos about royalty Spain. It is worth visiting this Palace and especially the Royal Collection.

It was a very interesting visit. There was no need to buy skip-the-line tickets because there were few people and no lines. The exhibition on Queen Elizabeth II was very well documented and revealed a charismatic human being with a sense of statehood. We were sorry that we only visited the part related to the Bourbons. The part related to the Habsburgs will have to wait for another opportunity.

I purchased this ticket for Royale Palace Madrid. I was denied entry to Royale Palace at the entrance because guard said this ticket not for Royale Palace. I called Headout asking for refund but my request was denied. Headout booking information and details written on tickets are misleading. Headout agent said only can refund me 25 percent of ticket price into credit wallet. But I asked for credit back as cash into my credit card. No response from Headout.

The visit went very well. It was crowded, lots of groups, but that's the price you have to pay to admire this palace. The staff are very welcoming.

    The place was, well, majestic. A good example of what unbridled wealth and power can create. My only wish was some fuller explanations of some of what we saw. For example, there were Chinese people presented in one room without any suggestion as to why. But don't let that stop you from viewing this palace, considered one of the world's grandest. And I can't argue with that.
