Discover the largest royal palace in Europe, which is currently used for state ceremonies and solemn acts. You will be amazed by each of its corners on this guided tour, where your guide will show you the main rooms. It has more than 2500 rooms, Stradivarius musical instruments with more than 300 years of life, and beautiful tapestries embroidered in the Santa Barbara tapestry factory in Madrid, among other wonders.
Visit with us the Royal Palace of Madrid, one of the most emblematic monuments of the capital. Immerse yourself in what was once the residence of the King and Queen of Spain on this wonderful tour. We will visit the large main staircase that takes us from the entrance to the King's apartments, where one of them holds the international meetings of the monarch Felipe VI with foreign leaders visiting our country. Later we will discover the most private rooms of the King and Queen next to the Grand Gala Dining Room prepared to accommodate 144 diners. The regal collections also include a fantastic porcelain room and a spectacular Royal Chapel whose fresco was made by Corrado Giaquinto. The Throne Room will be our last stop where we will be able to admire the wonderful fresco by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
Special mention should be made of the Royal Armoury, considered one of the most important collections of its kind. It preserves arms and armour belonging to the kings of Spain and other members of the Royal Family, from the thirteenth century. Considered, together with the imperial one in Vienna, as one of the best in the world, it is made up of pieces ranging from the fifteenth century onwards.
The changing of the guard at the Royal Palace of Madrid is held every Wednesday from October to July at 11 am.
