Stunning! Definitely book in advance. Even if you've been before - as we have 10 years ago - the added museum gallery is exceptional (it's jam-packed with incredible things - what a superb bonus that was!).
What an incredible experience! Stunning!! I’m so glad I visited while in Madrid. Each room is luxurious and unique in its own way. I did the self-guided tour on a weekday and did not buy tickets in advance.
You can tell they spared no expenses building this palace. The rooms seem to get more and more elaborate as you get deeper into the palace. Its a good experience to see a modern day palace. The lines were long during a weekday afternoon. There was a line for ticket holders and non-holders. I was part of a tour group that had skip the line so I can't comment on the wait. There are free lockers for you to store your backpack. The restrooms are only at the exit beside the gift shop. Warning that once you enter the gift shop or bathroom, you are not supposed to reenter the palace. There will be a guard stationed by the gift shop entrance to stop you from reentering. However, I have seen people ask the guard to use the restroom and be allowed to reenter. Just make sure you ask first.
Such a beautiful place. Make sure you visit with a tour. So much beauty and history in one place. The sheer size of this place will blow your mind. The interior is something I've never seen before and would recommend it to anyone who visits Spain.
Honestly, I'd say the palace is slightly above average. History enthusiasts will likely be disappointed . It's a nice place to spend the day with kids and family, and it's particularly great for school kids to learn about history in a hands-on way.
I had booked the tour, but the day before they contacted me because the guide was sick and they offered us other alternatives to do! In the end, we decided to take the Segway tour and it was fantastic
