FamilyVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The Royal Palace of Madrid is truly extraordinary. The part open to the public is a sight to behold. In addition to the Palace, you can also visit the Royal Armory, where you can see a collection of countless suits of armor belonging to the various kings who have lived there. The admission fee was well worth it. After the tour, there’s also a section of the gardens you can explore, which I highly recommend. As for the Almudena Cathedral, which is right across the street, I only saw it from the outside—I just don’t understand why you’d pay €8 to enter a Christian church. But some people do pay.AAbhijit P
FamilyVerified bookingLast week5/5The Royal Palace of Madrid is an absolute treasure and easily one of the most impressive royal residences in Europe. The architecture alone is breathtaking — the grand facade and sweeping courtyards set the tone the moment you arrive, and the interior only gets more spectacular from there. The guided tour was incredibly informative, bringing centuries of Spanish royal history to life in a way that kept us engaged throughout. The Royal Collections on display are simply outstanding — from priceless tapestries and paintings to ornate furniture and weaponry, every room tells a story. What really surprised us was how much you get for the price. For such a world-class attraction, the entry fee offers exceptional value and the visit easily fills a full half-day. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or just looking for an unforgettable Madrid experience, the Royal Palace delivers on every level. Highly recommended!TTracy E
GroupVerified booking5 days ago5/5Headout is efficient. The museum of course is absolutely grande and lovely, incredible and a joy. The cafe options are nice. We enjoyed a nice break from the museum with espresso and bocadillos, pastries, and a fun frozen mango margarita. Suggestions for the gift shop: offer fun men's ties. Suggestions: could offer the audio rate with self digital download and self used EarPods available on website or available for post museum entrance without needing to return to entrance. The e decide dlater we might enjoy the Audi but the walk back was too long. We did NOT take photos inside. Thank you!KKleiver P
SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5Absolutely incredible experience, especially for anyone who loves Spanish royal history. The Royal Collection, crowns, jewelry, letters and stunning rooms were fascinating. Buying the ticket in advance also made entry super easy, with no waiting in line. The only downside was that some areas felt quite crowded with large tour groups, but overall it was an unforgettable visit.RRonald S
SoloVerified booking6 days ago5/5Purchasing ticket was easy and readily available in my account to gain entry to the Prado. The Prado experience was well worth the entry cost. The only down side was not being able to take any pictures due to the age of the art and possible damage to it, other than that, I fullly enjoyed visiting the Prado.
