The Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial has been considered by some as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World', thanks to both its size and its enormous symbolic value. This 2-hour tour is designed to show you some of the rooms in this world-famous monastery, and let you in on what happened within its walls.

Find out why Felipe II, King of Spain (1556–1598), chose this location at the foot of the Sierra de Guadarrama as you tour the basilica, the battle hall, the pantheon – where the kings are buried – the palatial rooms, and even the famous library. This is where Felipe II kept his volumes, and spent hours reading!

A fascinating and educational trip back in time.

Show your smartphone ticket to the guide at the Entrance for Groups of the Monastery (the door with the Spanish flag); they will be holding a Todo Tours blue umbrella.
