Immerse yourself in the splendor of Spanish royalty in Madrid's grandiose palace
While it's now the Madrid residence for the Dukes of Alba, it's not hard to notice the Palacio de Liria doesn't bear their name. Originally, the palace was built for the Third Duke of Liria in the late 18th century, but since passing hands to the Albas, it's lost none of its original glory. The palace is now open to the public, where you can tour 14 rooms, admire one of the world's finest private art collections; with work by Goya and Rubens; and learn more about the palace's past with an immersive audio guide.
The Royal Palace of Aranjuez is located just 50 km out of Madrid and its location has been the site of Spain's royal residence since the 1500s. This Renaissance-style palace is renowned for its outstanding Porcelain Room, a magnificent throne room, and its stately gardens by the banks of the Tagus.
