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.

We had booked tickets online for Palacio Real in Madrid. The advantage of booking online was indeed, that you don't have to wait in a long line, but get in much faster. Visiting the palace is definitely recommended, it's amazingly beautiful! And wonderfully cool inside, if you are in Madrid in the summer with temperatures over thirty degrees and still want to do fun things!

Experience, both with buying tickets and visit, were great. Buying tickets was simple, and they arrived soon to my email. Visit was also easy to find the entry, we almost didn't wait, just entered the palace and started our visit. The palace is amazing, impressive and worth visiting.

    Wonderful palace, compulsory to see it, lots of people but once inside you disperse quickly and are well able to appreciate all its beauty and grandeur. Too bad that NONE of the sleeping areas are visible to the public.
