Traveler reviews
Huge and beautiful Palace
Worthwhile visit. Most of the furnishings are intact. The king abdicated in 1931, so it has not been a home since then, and still in wonderful condition. It is the world’s largest Palace—over 3,400 rooms. Also visit the armory—its three stories, packed with suits of armor for people and horses—extraordinary!
Nice, quick overview
Jesús was a very informative and knew a lot of the history for the rooms that are open to the public.
Worth it.
It looked like we paid more than the going rate because we just bought the tickets about an hour before the tour began. But the tour itself we very good. Beatrice, the tour guide, we very good. Provided a lot of history, interesting stories and did not rush anything. Would def recommend - just buy tickets well in advance so you are not paying a premium for last minute add on.
Lovely walking tour
