Description
Begin your journey at the Mirador de la Calle Factor. Enjoy a stunning visual introduction to the city, with panoramic views framing the Almudena Cathedral and Madrid's vast cityscape, offering the perfect place to admire the architecture and plan your exploration. Descend from the observation deck to the majestic Almudena Cathedral, distinguished by its unique blend of neoclassical, neo-Gothic, and neo-Romanesque styles. Start your tour at its impressive façade and continue inside. Admire the vibrant frescoes and sumptuous decoration, and discover the crypt. After exploring the cathedral, walk through the Plaza de la Armería to enter the Royal Palace, the official residence of the Spanish monarchy. Although today it is used primarily for state ceremonies, explore its rooms and galleries, a testament to its rich history and royal luxury. Receive an introduction to the monarchy and the kings who have inhabited this landmark for years. Enter through the main staircase and walk through the two rooms used in ancient times as leisure and banqueting areas, enjoying each of the paintings, tapestries, and spectacular vaults. Admire works of art by masters such as Caravaggio and Velázquez, and marvel at the opulence of the Throne Room and the Hall of Mirrors. Appreciate the magnificent views of the Almudena Cathedral, Campo del Moro Gardens, and the Casa de Campo. Next, access the private rooms of Charles III, stopping before his great dressing room and Gasparini's room, with its chinoiserie style and rococo influences. Discover Charles III's main room, then visit the triple room of the famous royal dining space, one of the only areas still in use. Pass by the silver and porcelain rooms, with all their collections of crockery and silverware. Enter the prince's courtyard and discover the precious reliquary and the grandiose chapel guarded by the Catholic kings at its entrance. After your tour, marvel at the royal collections in the last chambers of the museum. See Stradivarius violins, the crown room and its scepter with the table of sphinxes, the throne room with its 12 mirrors and armchairs guarded by Velazquez' lions, and the great royal armory.Includes
