About this experience
About Royal Palace of Madrid & Royal Collections Gallery: Small Group Guided Tour This small group guided tour combines entry to two of Madrid's most significant royal sites: the Royal Palace of Madrid and the Royal Collections Gallery. The Royal Palace, completed in 1764 under King Ferdinand VI and designed by architects Filippo Juvara and Giovanni Battista Sacchetti, is the official residence of the Spanish Crown and one of the largest royal palaces in Europe by floor area, with over 3,400 rooms. The tour runs for three hours and covers more than 500 years of Spanish royal history. An expert guide in history and art leads the group throughout, providing context for the architecture, the collections, and the dynasties that shaped the palace's development from the original Habsburg fortress to the present Bourbon residence. What to expect Inside the Royal Palace, visitors move through ceremonial state rooms decorated with tapestries, armour, porcelain, and crystal. The collection includes sedan chairs, royal carriages, and paintings by El Greco and Diego Velázquez, placing the works within the broader history of the Spanish court. The Royal Collections Gallery, which opened in 2023 adjacent to the palace, houses artworks and objects accumulated by the Spanish Crown over centuries, displayed across purpose-built exhibition spaces. Tickets cover entry to both sites and the services of a live guide throughout. The tour departs from the corner of Calle de Requena, and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible. The Royal Palace of Madrid and getting there The Royal Palace of Madrid stands on the western edge of the city centre, overlooking the Manzanares river and the Casa de Campo. The nearest metro stations are Ópera and Plaza de España, both within a short walk. For more options across the city, browse things to do in Madrid to plan the rest of your visit.
