Madrid's Royal Palace
This Royal Palace was the official residence for the Royal family.

Once in the Royal Palace you’ll have access to lavish halls, banqueting rooms, the throne room and residential areas.
How to get there: If you arrive at the metro station at Opera, it is about 5-minute walk to the entrance of the palace. Alternatively, if you are coming from the centre, around the Plaza Mayor, then you can follow Calle Mayor directly to the palace.
Santiago Bernabéu Stadium
Found on the Paseo de Castellana, the Santiago Bernabéu is the home of Real Madrid FC. If you cannot make a game, tours are available which give you access to all corners of the stadium. The tour allows you entry into the presidential box, the bench area, changing rooms and the playing field.
