The Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace, two of the most iconic buildings in the city, are home to countless stories and elements of great beauty. We propose you to know them in this guided tour that will take you, for about three hours, to visit some of its main rooms.
We will start the tour next to the Metro stop Ópera, from where we will go to the Almudena Cathedral, whose name is due to the legendary apparition of a Virgin inside the Islamic wall of the city.
There we will know all the details of its architecture, both exterior and interior, and we will explain why Madrid's cathedral is so different from the rest of the Spanish cathedrals.
Afterwards, we will cross the Plaza de la Armería to visit the royal palace with the most rooms in Western Europe.
We will enter the palace through the group entrance, so we will not have to wait in the long line that usually stands in front of the main door. Once inside, while we marvel at the exquisiteness and ostentation that characterizes its rooms, we will visit the most emblematic areas of the building: the Gasparini Chamber, the Throne Room, the Hall of Mirrors, the marble staircases, the Royal Armory, and many more...
Come and discover the earthly and the sacred through the mark that Art left forever in Madrid!
