it was within walking distance from our hotel, there were no crowds, it was a clear cool day and we enjoyed the view, took pictures and went to have a snack at a near café.

very well maintained and preserved ....really a place worth visiting ...the plaza is buzzing and the insides are so well kept ...even the upholstery maintained well..

This palace is absolutely amazing. Opulent to the extreme and completely over the top with ornate decoration.Art collections were worth looking at on their own. Well worth a visit.

This Palace is stunning, and a must see. However, spend the extra $4 and get the audio tour. Without it you will still see the wonder of the Palace, but you will miss the importance of each room and the history behind it. We would have just had an average time at the Palace without it. You can not miss... More

one must see the royal palace,with its various types of rooms...(wooden,porcelain,claywork,chinese style etc)the chandeliers in this palace are the best in the world(and i have seen many palaces in the world).takes about 1 hour to explore the palace...no need for audio guide

Cant compare with Versailles but is still grandiose. Visit the Armory for historical briefing of what kings wore to go to war.

The people of Madrid take their "NO CAMERA" policy very seriously. While in the Royal Palace, we saw 3 different tourist scolded for taking pictures. There are a lot of group tours walking through, so it is a little difficult to navigate and really see the details of this extravagant Palace.

Amazing armory. Huge, very ornate, Loved the chandelliers. Took a long time to see. Would recommend to all.

Vrey impressive palace, with some of the reception rooms are pretty spectacular to say the least. The staff are super keen on making sure that you cant take any photos when inside the palace and bit rude about it but otherwise a great afternoon.
