What to expect
The Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace, two of the most iconic buildings in Madrid, house countless stories inside and elements of great beauty. Are you ready to explore them during this guided tour?
You will start next to the Ópera Metro stop, from where you will go to the Almudena Cathedral, whose name is due to the legendary appearance of a Virgin inside the Islamic wall of the city. There, you will get to know all the details of its architecture, both the exteriors and the interiors.
Later, you will cross the Plaza de la Armería to see the Royal Palace. You will enter it through the access for groups, so you will not have to wait for the long queue that is usually posted in front of the main door. Once inside, you will visit the most emblematic areas of the building: the Gasparini Chamber, the Throne Room, the Hall of Mirrors, the marble stairs, the Royal Armory, and many more. Come discover the earthly and the sacred through the imprint that Art left forever in Madrid!
Important to know

- If a reservation is made with some type of discount, it will be necessary to show the document that proves the condition required for said discount. Otherwise, the difference in price compared to the regular tour must be paid
- A minimum of 3 people is needed to guarantee departure. This quota is almost always reached. If this is not the case, we will contact you to offer you an alternative
- On occasions, and for reasons beyond our control, the Almudena Cathedral may have restricted access. If so, the explanation will be given outside the temple
