Royal Palace of Madrid
Madrid’s Royal Palace offers grand ceremonial rooms beside Plaza de Oriente. It suits visitors interested in the Spanish monarchy and formal palace interiors.
Why go
The state rooms make court ceremony tangible through scale, decoration and room sequence. Outside, the palace frontage and Plaza de Oriente create a second, open-air view of the building. Even travelers who skip the interior can appreciate the urban setting, while an indoor visit needs a longer block of time.
