About this experience
Madrid Old Town Guided Tour with Royal Palace Fast Track Entry This 1.5-hour guided tour takes you through Madrid's historic centre, starting at Puerta del Sol and winding through the narrow streets that tell the story of Spain's capital. You'll explore key landmarks including Plaza Mayor and Catedral de la Almudena while learning about the Habsburg dynasty that shaped the city's architecture. The tour concludes at the Royal Palace of Madrid, where you receive fast-track entry to explore Europe's largest palace at your own pace. With over 3,000 rooms, the palace outshines even Buckingham Palace in scale, offering ornate staterooms, historic art collections and meticulously decorated halls that showcase centuries of Spanish royal heritage.
