Royal Palace of Madrid

The 24 Best Things to Do in Madrid, Spain

"One of Europe’s grandest palaces and a rare official state residence open to the public, occupying some 1.5 million square feet with about 3,400 rooms. Visitors can see gilded grand salons, 16th‑century armor, tapestries, frescoes and works by Goya, Caravaggio and Velázquez; don’t miss the classical Sabatini Gardens for a stroll through formal landscaping and views of the façade." - Siobhan Reid Siobhan Reid Siobhan Reid is an NYC-based writer, editor, and copywriter.
