Great, extensive collection. Despite many visitors, hardly any waiting time and, with a few exceptions, enough space to admire the exhibits. Unfortunately, the audio guide was disappointing. We took advantage of the 3-hour tour. There was no recognizable concept or chronology. Instead, we were constantly sent back and forth between the rooms and floors and spent a lot of time looking for rooms. Unfortunately, the labeling of the rooms was poor. What a pity.

Walked right past the line and into security. The palace was beautiful and my 3 teens all enjoyed it. I would have researched the kitchen experiencce add on if I had known about it, at least for one daughter. The armory was closed when we were there, that would have been interesting. Also should have downloaded the audio guide. But there were signs that explained the rooms well.

I bought the entrance ticket without an audio guide and without a tour of the kitchen. The entrance was practically queue-free, but I recommend buying in advance because the queue to buy tickets on the spot is very long. I loved entering the palace, it's worth every penny, the place is fantastic inside, and the visit takes a long time, it's very big.

Excellent collection of art work. Anyone in the city must visit it. Works of Goya, Caravaggio and Bosch are a must see. There's Velasquez , Titian and many others. Only drawback is that the lighting could be better in some rooms. There was some glare on some of the paintings.
