Madrid we have booked a guided tour on Viet tour to see both the Royal Palace and the prao museum I do recommend booking a tour or buying tickets in advance because the lines to get in get very long and they do sell out of tickets that’s why you need to skip the line ticket amen the Royal Palace of Madrid is the largest Palace in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world with 3,4 18 rooms the Royal Palace is regularly used by their majesties the king and queen of Spain Madrid’s Royal Palace was built in the 18th century by the order of Philip V on the site of an old Alcazar Fortress a former morish Castle beneath the Baroque fesco on the ceiling we climbed up the main staircase you go up up the stairs on the left side the Queen’s side and you exit the palace on the right side the king’s side you enter as a queen and come out a [Music] king a portrait of the royal family has a strange history the painter took some 20 years to finish it one after another we pass through some 20 to 30 rooms the interconnected rooms are designated by their purposes and have been planned according to Progressive levels of privacy every room has at least one Chandelier and as you pass through the palace you come to realize that there are enough chandeliers to pay a king’s Ransom the rooms in the palace are folded in Baro decor with paintings motifs and sculptures that speak of the lavish lifestyles of the inhabitants the throne room has a fiery energy and a set in the color red chandeliers Dazzle the room as mirrors reflect and amplify the Rays of crystals two sculptured Lions guard the elaborate Throne of the Royals the throne room looks just as it did when it was finished in 1772 as you wander through the palace it’s hard to take in all that you see while in the Gayla dining room we were told that each time they host a banquet all of the silverware is counted before guests are allowed to leave Among The Many Wonders that Grace this Splendid Palace is the Royal Chapel a place of unparalleled Beauty and significance as the official Chapel of the Spanish Royal family this Chapel has been the setting for numerous Royal ceremonies including weddings baptisms and funerals one interesting fact about the Strat of various violins that are 1 to 200 years old is that they are still played at special occasions as you walk through you’ll feel like you’re in a fairy tale the rooms are enormous the walls are covered in beautiful artwork and did I mention all those [Music] chandeliers they even had a smoking room for the men here there is a painting by Michelangelo The Merc dear vagio painted in 16007 the ceremonial changing in the guard occurred each Wednesday and Saturday and is worth going to see the Royal Palace of Madrid is not not just an architectural Masterpiece it’s a symbol of Spain’s Royal Heritage and historic significance as you walk through its Grand halls and admire its Treasures you were transported back to a bygone era of Regal Splendor

painting as well as masterpieces of other European artists the prto museum has more than 100 rooms in Galleries and over 1,800 works of art this is a museum consisting of mainly paintings and sculptures and was began in 1819 artists such as El Greco Velasquez Francisco Goya and heronimus Bosch are just a few of the artists that are featured at the prao this Museum also is where you can see the prom Mona Lisa the prom Mona is a painting by the workshop of Leonardo D viny and depicts the same subject and composition as the original Mona Lisa at the Lou in Paris the pr Mona Lisa has been at the prto Museum since 1819 one of the most famous pictures at the prto is laminas painted by Diago Vasquez it presents several figures most identifiable from the Spanish Court captured in a particular moment as if in a snapshot we par particularly like this painting because it reminded us of our granddaughter I would also highly recommend picking up a floor plan when you enter it not only helps you get around but also has pictures and names of the most famous works of art and where they’re located in the museum this museum is free every day Monday through Saturday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and on Sunday and holidays from 5: to 7:00 p.m. good to know if you want to save money or if you want to avoid the large larger crowds we just finished up our tour of the pr Museum tons of art lots of Spanish influences lots of pictures of old Spanish royalty you’re not going to see if you if you book The Tour that you were on you’re not going to get to go through the whole museum they’re going to point out certain pictures that have a theme back to tied back to Spain and Spanish artists so it’s in a cool part of the city y uh the walk between where the palace is and where the museum is was very cool yeah let me try to explore that back on the way back a little bit so it gets a thumbs up for Mrs KS and me the old uh uh Palace and prto Museum [Music] tour thank you so much

The Royal Palace of Madrid is the largest in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world. With more than 135,000 square feet and 3,418 rooms and more chandeliers than you’ve ever seen in one place, it’s sure to please.
We were very fortunate to be able to film our entire experience. On the day we were visiting they were testing to see if allowing people to take photos or video would slow down the tours. I could not find any information stating that they have since changed the no photo or video rules.
With over 2 million visitors each year Madrid’s Royal Palace is a busy place. We booked a tour through Viator that included skip the line tickets, a tour guide and tickets for both the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum. We walked from the Royal Palace to the Prado Museum. The walk was short and easy. I would guess most people in relativly good shape would be fine doing this. The tour guide told us all kinds of interesting things we would have never known. I was very happy with the tour and would highly recommend!
The Prado Museum was also a delight. We didn’t have time to see everything but we saw the highlights, spending over 2 hours touring with the guide. You can stay in the museum when the tour is over if there are things you want to revisit or see.
This was one of the many highlights of our trip! I was thrilled that we were able to video our experience to share on YouTube and to have as memories for us!
