Royal Palace & Almudena Cathedral Tour
Royal Palace & Almudena Cathedral Tour
At the scheduled time, we'll meet up in the center of Madrid. Once we're all gathered, we'll start this guided tour of two emblems of Madrid: the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral.
First, we'll visit the Almudena Cathedral. Did you know that it took more than 110 years to build? Throughout that time, its architectural style changed up to three times. We'll discover interesting facts about this cathedral and the controversy surrounding its history, while we explore the main nave and see the side chapels from the outside.
Right in front of the Almudena Cathedral is one of the most important buildings in the Spanish capital. The Royal Palace of Madrid is one of the largest palaces in Europe, with a total of 3,418 rooms–it's even bigger than Versailles and Buckingham!
We'll step inside the palace and see the main rooms of this Baroque wonder, among which are the Throne Room with Tiepolo's frescoes, the main staircase, the Hall of Columns, and the Chapel.
After this 2-hour and 15-minute tour, we'll finish the activity at the main entrance of the Royal Palace.

Additionally, in this case, after the guided tour of the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral, we'll go on a short walking tour of Madrid. On this 30-minute tour, you'll explore the most iconic sites in the Spanish capital like the Plaza de la Villa, Calle Mayor, or Puerta del Sol.
At the time that this tour takes place, the activity will have a total duration of 3 hours and 45 minutes and will end at Plaza Mayor.
