Description

The Royal Palace alongside the Almudena Cathedral stands out as two of the most significant sites in Madrid. Join this intimate group tour to gain insights into the rich history of Spain while visiting both extraordinary monuments.

Tour Overview

Your adventure begins at the renowned Plaza de Ópera, where we'll convene at the agreed time. Once everyone is present, the guided exploration of Madrid’s remarkable landmarks—the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral—commences.

Our first stop will be the Royal Palace, regarded as one of Madrid's most vital landmarks. This grand structure boasts an impressive 3,418 rooms, making it even more expansive than both Versailles and Buckingham Palace!

We will venture inside to admire key areas of this Baroque architectural gem, which include the stunning Throne Room, adorned with Tiepolo’s frescoes, the majestic Main Staircase, the elegant Column Hall, and the serene Chapel.

Positioned directly opposite the Royal Palace is the Almudena Cathedral. Its construction spanned over 110 years, during which its architectural style evolved through three different phases. From our vantage point outside, we will discuss intriguing anecdotes and delve into the debates surrounding its design.

At the conclusion of our 2 hour and 15-minute journey, we will end the tour at the side entrance of the Almudena Cathedral, enriched with knowledge and experiences.
