Royal Palace of Madrid Skip-the-Line Tickets

Skip the line to access the Royal Palace of Madrid, the largest functioning palace in Europe. As you wander through its lavish halls, you can admire the 16th-century Baroque architecture, as well as the many frescoes, tapestries, and decorative motifs that adorn its walls. Within the palace, you can visit the Grand Staircase, composed of a single piece of San Agustin marble; the Royal Library, with its vast collection of rare books and manuscripts; the Royal Armory, which showcases full sets of armor and weaponry from the reign of Charles V; the apartments of Charles III, the Queen, and the infant Luise; the Crown Room, which houses Charles III’s royal scepter, throne and crown, and much more.

Along the way, you can admire masterpieces by Caravaggio, Goya, Velázquez, and Tiepolo, among others. Many other collections of great historical and artistic importance are also preserved in the palace, including the Royal porcelain, watches, furniture, silverware, musical instruments, and the world's only complete Stradivarius string quintet. Later you can also relax at the gorgeous gardens and thoughtfully laid out plazas within the palace complex.

To promote proximity tourism during the Easter holidays, the Royal Palace of Madrid opened the 'Ala de Bailén', a set of 7 rooms, among which are the Diario Dining Room, the Halls of Mirrors, Tapestries and Weapons, and the Official Tram. This means that you get to travel back in time and see artifacts that have remained a quarter of a century away from the gaze of tourists!

Enhance your visit by upgrading your ticket to include an audio guide or an English-speaking expert, depending on whether you prefer solo exploration or guided insights. No matter your choice, the Royal Palace of Madrid is sure to blow your mind away!
