Royal Palace
The Royal Palace is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family, but it is only used for state ceremonies. The Royal Family do not reside in the palace.
The interior of the palace is notable for its wealth of art and the use of many types of fine materials in the construction and the decoration of its rooms. These include paintings by artists such as Caravaggio, Francisco de Goya, and Velázquez, and frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Juan de Flandes, Corrado Giaquinto, and Anton Raphael Mengs. Other collections of great historical and artistic importance preserved in the building include the Royal Armoury of Madrid, porcelain, watches, furniture, silverware, and the world's only complete Stradivarius string quintet.
The palace is the largest royal palace in Europe by floor area. Several rooms in the palace are regularly open to the public except during state functions ( read more )

Duration of the visit to the Royal Palace of Madrid
How much time do you recommend for the visit to the Royal Palace ?
Re #0: Duration of the visit to the Royal Palace of Madrid
I have visited it several times and the truth is that I always discover details that fascinate me, but for a first visit I would say that you will need about three hours. I particularly love the throne room, with its wonderful mirrors and spectacular ceilings, the royal armory, the armor of Charles V and Philip II, the real pharmacy and Sabatini gardens, the latter a little neglected and very untapped for my taste . As I am a great fan of classical music, I have also enjoyed watching the five Palatine Stradivarius, whenever I have visited it. At night the outdoor lighting is also worth a visit and many photographs. That way you can get even a little bit of what you can not do inside.

We were a little over two hours and we could go through everything, but without stopping too much. It is very large, in the guide said it occupies almost twice as much surface as Buckingham Palace or the Palace of Versailles. It is full of tapestries, period furniture, paintings and beautiful porcelain tableware. It is tremendous to see the luxury with which they lived, while the people passed needs but it is history and it is with those eyes that you have to look at it. Fortunately today the differences, although they exist, are not so great. They let you visit 😂😂😂.
