    The whole palace was a "madness". The "palace band" in particular was an absolute hit. It's not easy to see such a great "chapel". Buying the ticket and getting in (we were at the entrance about 1/2 hour early and were let in without any problems!) was absolutely stress-free and pleasant. It was a highlight of our trip to Madrid. I will be going there again with my wife !!!!

    The architecture of the palace is magnificent, it's the best palace I've seen. i'm not much of a museum lover, but the prado attracted me too much. I won't hesitate to visit again if I get the chance. to be recommended

    A little difficult to find the entrance, but the overall tour was nice. We didn't have a guide so we explored the palace on our own, which was pretty okay, i think you will only need an audio guide if you wanna learn more.

    We visited the Royal Palace on 31/10. I highly recommend taking the queue-cutting tickets, which saved us a huge queue. We took an audio guide which really helped us understand the tour. A very pleasant visit.

    We did indeed skip a long queue by buying tickets online, and the palace is undoubtedly beautiful, however I think it is relevant to mention that the Palace has no air conditioning, which makes the experience, inside the rooms, unbearable to say the least, my family and I were sweltering in the middle of autumn.
