Very practical! At the palace, the armory, and the royal galleries, they just scan the QR code and you're automatically admitted! Highly recommended!

The Royal Palace of Madrid

The Royal Palace of Madrid is the largest in Western Europe, twice the size of Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Versailles.

Philip V, the first Spanish king of the Bourbon dynasty, commissioned the construction of the Palacio de Oriente on the site of the ruins of the old Alcázar. The first monarch to reside there was Charles III, and it remains the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family, although it's now used solely for hosting ceremonies and official events.

By booking this ticket, you’ll have the chance to discover the treasures held within its magnificent interior. The Plaza de Armas, the Main Staircase, the Throne Room, the Gasparini Room, the Royal Chapel, the Pharmacy… You’ll also be able to see some portraits and works by Francisco de Goya, who was court painter to the Bourbons. Are you going to miss out?

Ticket Options

When booking, you can choose between the following options:

Royal Palace Ticket: You can tour the main rooms of the palace as described above. Please note that you must take the tour at the time selected; entry at any other time will not be granted.
Royal Palace + Gallery of the Royal Collections: with this option, in addition to the palace, you'll see an exhibition consisting of 650 pieces, from ruins of the Arab wall of Madrid to pieces of furniture. Please note that the entry time on your ticket applies specifically to visits to the Royal Palace. The Royal Collections Gallery ticket is valid at any time for seven days following your visit but cannot be used during the free entry hours, Monday to Thursday, from 6 pm to 8 pm.
Royal Palace + Kitchen: you'll see the rooms of the palace and the kitchen, which stands out for its size, its antiquity and the value of the pieces it holds. Few European palaces have managed to preserve such a space! Its current appearance is the result of a series of renovations carried out between 1760 and 1931. Please note that for this option, the Royal Palace is unguided while the visit to the Royal Kitchen is guided. Therefore, the time you select will be for your visit to the Royal Kitchen. You can visit the rest of the Royal Palace either before or after the visit to the Kitchen.

The following fares are available:

Basic fare: this fare is for adults.
