As a person who used to work at the Royal Palace of Madrid as a tour guide (and being a former G.R.) It is actually the largest royal palace in Europe, containing 135,000 m² of floor space and 3,418 rooms.
Hello, first, thanks for posting this video. Second, your introduction picture which is also put along with the website pictures, is the Library of San Lorenzo del Escorial.
Thanks for taking us along on your trip to Spain. Love everything you guys have showed us so far. Especially, the palace, it looks stunning. The food looks so yummy. Now I'm craving a calamari sandwich
Visiting the palace of an empire that dominated the world for 300 years, neither the British nor the French empire could have something like this... just a little information bro, I send you my regards
Casi 400 años, por no hablar de los años de las posesiones en el Mediterraneo s. XIII del Condado de Barcelona, hasta....... Corona de Aragon y luego de España hasta s. XVIII.
The Royal Palace of madrid IS the largest Palace in original and strict use in Europe with 1.453..000 sq feet or 135.000 M2 of construction It is like Versalles and buckigham Palace togheter ; not later expanded for a museum only ;like the louvre or hofsburg of vienna ;It is a masterpiece of european and spanish baroque style It is has 3.500 rooms and treasures paintings of Velázquez ;caravaggio; rubens; goya; etc;It is has the largest collection of Stradivarius in the world;; apart the tapestries; jewels and one of the best three Royal armories in the world Its imposing main staircase has captivated personalities such a clinton or Joe biden lately who said jonkingly at the nato summit dinner that he would like to stay and live here as the " poor family;i they left him here maybe he wouldn't come back its amazing place
My understanding is photographing is often banned in stately homes and palaces when there is a risk that flash photography will damage art works and occasionally material or furniture. It's easier to ban photography rather than try to explain to each guest to turn the flash off. Great video, loved the tour. 10 out of 10.
Hay otra salsa en España, que vá mejor con el bocadillo de calamares que la MAYONESA, y es el AJIOLI , porque lleva ajo y le dá un toque de picante suave
On our visit to the palace yesterday, at the throne room, the old lady guard allowed a 'white tourist family to take pictures and even jump over the corded area. We (Asian couple) tried to take a selfie and the lady got mad. We tried to ask politely, and she just ignored us and pointed us to leave the room. Approve all visitor or no one.... she made it look like a race thing.
You should have reported that incident. In every public space in Spain wich is open to visit as well as bars, resturants, hotels, hospitals... there is a Book of Complaints which is very seriously taken by authorities.
I could take pictures of Westminster Abbey. To not be able to take a photo of the tomb of Queen Elizabeth I is a shame. Lots of things you can’t take photos of. They want you to buy pictures and post cards. $$$$$$$.

I wonder if you may know, are the Rubens portraits of Philip IV and Queen Isabel on display in any of the public rooms?
What other rooms are included in the count, in order to reach 3,418 rooms? Storage rooms, attics or broom closets are also included?
I’ve been to several royal palaces in Europe. Hands down the one in Madrid is the grandest!
agree!

Yeah! I get it. This one was weird because 1/2 of the tour was okay and 1/2 wasn't. lol
Stunning palace!

I'd also love to replicate one of these rooms, but if good materials aren't used, the results could be poor. I'll do my best :)
