What you can expect

Discover two of Madrid’s greatest cultural icons: the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum, each boasting a unique historical and artistic heritage.

The Royal Palace of Madrid, built in the 18th century in an Italian-influenced classical Baroque style, stands on the former site of the Alcázar de los Austrias. Covering 135,000 square metres, it is the largest palace in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world. Although it is not the official residence of the monarchy, it continues to host important state occasions. During the guided tour, you will be able to admire such iconic spaces as the Plaza de Armas, the Grand Staircase, the apartments of King Charles III and the Queen, the banquet hall, the royal chapel, the throne room and the crown room.

For its part, the Prado Museum houses one of the world’s most outstanding art collections, with over 1,000 works spanning four centuries of history. Inside, you can admire works by great masters such as Velázquez, Goya, Sorolla, El Greco and El Bosco.

Please note that transport between the two monuments is not included and must be arranged at your own expense.

From 18 May, the order of the visits will be reversed: the visit to the Prado Museum will take place first, followed by the Royal Palace.
