This museum is simply impressive. The works are magnificent. It's important to prepare your visit well to get the most out of it. I had made a list of the works I absolutely wanted to see and the rooms in which they were exhibited. I also let myself wander around and made some wonderful discoveries. On the downside, I had booked a guided tour 3 weeks in advance, but it was cancelled without explanation the day before it was due to take place. I had to buy tickets for "general" admission.

The tickets ordered online took a long time to print out at first. But then everything worked perfectly. The paintings and sculptures on display are fantastic, and everyone should see them at least once in their lifetime. It's a great idea that older people don't have to wait in line for long at the entrance.

The Palace was majestic and having booked our tickets online saved us from standing in a 3 hour line. Every room within the Palace was indicative of the gradeur and royalty of the Spanish monarchy. We did a self guided tour which allowed us to go about and explore at our own pace. Thank you Headput for the smooth experience.

    The Royal Palace was amazing. I've never seen so much gold leaf, filigree, ceiling, frescoes, tapestries, and art. Jjust amazing derails. It was a feast for the eyes and displayed the immense grandeur and history of the Spanish royalty.

    I must say that Royal Palace and Prado were blast and very good experiences I am grateful for in Madrid. I recommend it to everyone. For Royal Palace, one tip, come early, because after 12 am, it becomes very crowded.

    Online shopping helps you save time and money everywhere. Plus, you can plan your time better. A beautiful palace, well presented with evocative exhibits. It's worth spending at least half a day there.
