Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Palacio, Community of Madrid

May 10, 2022 Christa Meece

So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Royal Palace of Madrid

Luxurious, over-the-top rococo palace with over 2,000 opulently gilded rooms.

Reviewed By WizWiz - England, United Kingdom

The excellent audio guide was sufficient for exploring the palace without a guided tour The Palace was really impressive, the view from the Scenic viewpoint was breathtaking and the works of art inside were very antique and impressive; do make sure you include a visit to the armoury. Overall, the sheer splendour of the palace was breathtaking, every one of the rooms exquisite, and particularly the magnificent Throne Room. Well worth a visit

Cripta de la Almudena

Reviewed By 598marisap - Dallas, United States

This is a beautiful cathedral. The construction start in the late 19th century, but was inaugurated by the Pope John Paul II in 1993. Although it is a modern building, it is really nice in the inside with beautiful altars and in the crypt the patroness of Madrid, Our Lady of the Almudena.

Monasterio Del Corpus Christi

Reviewed By TrueTexasTraveler - Amarillo, United States

If you can find it, this is a really unique experience while in Madrid. Find the buzzer outside, and let the cloistered nuns know you're there. If they're selling cookies, they'll buzz you in. Follow the signs through a courtyard and you'll end up at a lazy susan with a list of cookies for sale and the prices. You never see anyone because they're cloistered, but through the turntable you tell them what you want and put down your money. It spins, you wait a minute, it spins again and out comes your cookies. The cookies are simple but tasty. The experience is fantastic.
