Wow, visiting the Museum of Royal Collections was an absolutely mind-blowing experience, especially since we got to enter for free! It's not every day you stumble upon such a stroke of luck, bypassing the usual hefty entrance fees. It truly made me appreciate the grandeur of the collection even more, knowing that I was getting a steal of a deal. The exquisite architecture, the opulent art, and the priceless treasures on display were all the more dazzling because I didn't have to pay a dime. It was as if I had won the lottery of cultural experiences, enjoying the splendors of royalty without even opening my wallet. The sheer magnificence of the collection combined with the thrill of scoring free admission created an unforgettable and slightly rebellious adventure that I'll cherish forever. 5/5 - would enter for free again.

Easily one of the most stunning places to visit (out of the very long list of such in Madrid). Next time I'm in Madrid I'm going to book for three or four days, one for each floor. There is so much to see, so much to learn from the videos, so much information to read and so much beauty to appreciate- it's impossible to take it all in in one day. The staff were all incredibly helpful and kind and provided me with a wheelchair, and helped at every opportunity. They went out of their way to be of assistance. Also - I didn't take a photo of my very favourite painting: the one of a sad and pensive Isabel la Católica with the shell of Santiago and the white covering on her head. I adored this painting. I think I was too overwhelmed by her sadness that I wasn't able to take a photo.

The latest museum to be incorporated into the collection of Spain's Patrimonio Nacional. It took many years to build, not least because of the archeological discoveries on the site dating from the Arab conquest, which can now be observed from inside. You can either enter from the high level next to the Almudena Cathedral or from the gardens of the Royal Palace, the Campo del Moro, lower down. A large collection but manageable in a morning's visit. The tapestries are amazing, as is the current temporary collection of royal carriages. Videos are offered along the way describing Spain's royal history with subtitles in English and Spanish. Well worth the visit. We purchased our tickets in advance online. There was no queue on entering but there may be at busier times of year.

What a magnificent collection of artwork. This dates back to medieval era Austrias family and till modern day. If you are an art buff then this one such places not to miss. I recommend coming here to the collection after visiting the palace because you will get to recall whatever you heard in the palace as a history you can get to see here. There is no guided tour here but sufficient details are given next to each exhibit. If you are just here to see what they have got you can complete it with an hour, if you need to have a glance at each exhibit thoroughly then you may need a day. Best time to visit this place is during summer as there is more day light and extra operating hours.
