What to do and see in Aranjuez, Community of Madrid: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
Aranjuez is the home of Palacio Real (Royal Palace), the spring residence of Spanish kings since the late 1880s. The beautiful gardens surrounding the palace are just as famous as the residence and are the inspiration for “Concierto de Aranjuez” by Joaquin Rodrigo, one of Spain’s most significant composers of the 20th century. During the summer, join the local tradition of eating dinner in the picnic area next to the Tagus River. UNESCO designated Aranjuez as a World Heritage landscape in 2001 and a very large casino was built in 2005.

Only a short distance from Madrid, this is a must visit. The self guided tour takes c 1.5 hours (there’s also options to book a tour or download an app to guide you during your visit) and you get to see a good few, elaborately decorated, rooms and the grand staircase. The gardens can be explored separately free of charge.

Between the Royal Palace and the river Tagus this 18th century Prince's Garden is decorated with sculptures, fountains and lofty trees from the Americas. It also houses a number of historic buildings. Definitely worth while taking the time to slowly walk these gardens to better appreciate the atmosphere.
