Begin their experience at Madrid’s majestic Royal Palace, accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide who shares insights into its fascinating history. Twice the size of Buckingham Palace, this 18th-century Italian Baroque masterpiece served as the royal residence from 1766 to 1931 and still hosts state ceremonies and receptions today. Inside, travelers explore the Plaza de Armas, the Grand Staircase, the Throne Room, and the Gala Dining Room, admiring exquisite tapestries and ornate furnishings that reflect Spain’s royal heritage.

After visiting the palace, the tour continues through the picturesque Literary Quarter, where cobblestone streets and historic façades recall the works of Cervantes, Quevedo, and Lope de Vega. This lively neighborhood leads to the final stop, the Prado Museum. Discover masterpieces by El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, Bosch, and Rubens while learning how the building evolved from a royal project to one of the world’s most celebrated art museums.
