What to expect

This tour combines two of Madrid’s most significant landmarks: the Prado Museum, home to a world-class collection of European art, and the Royal Palace of Madrid, the official residence of Spain’s royal family. As you walk between these iconic sites, your guide will share insights into Madrid’s history and culture.

Features
