All about the trip

Meet your guide at our offices in central Madrid. Discover why there are two significantly important Royal Palaces in the area surrounding Madrid.

Royal Palace: Skip the lines and dive right into the history of this beautiful palace. Did you know its size doubles the one of Buckingham Palace? Built in an Italian baroque style, it was the residence of the Spanish Monarchy from 1766 to 1931. Nowadays, it still is a great example of the establishment of Madrid as the capital of the kingdom.

Today, it holds the most important receptions of the Spanish Crown. Know the audiences, dinner parties and signature of agreements celebrated through the years. Walk around the Armory Square. Marvel at the beautiful tapestries and elegant furniture. Follow your guide through the Grand Staircase, the Throne Room and the Banqueting Hall, among others. Once your guided visit finishes, you can visit the Royal Armory on your own. Make sure not to miss the views from the viewpoint of the Armory square!
