A few blocks away from the lively streets of Sol and Plaza Mayor lies the beautiful Royal Palace. Surrounded by stunning gardens, fountains, and art exhibitions, the Royal Palace is one of Madrid's most elegant and charming spots. While the Royal family doesn't currently live there, the Palacio Real is a popular location for ceremonies and celebrations. It is also the largest fully functioning Place in Europe! Step back and time and see Spanish royal history come to life. Stroll through Campo de Moro behind the Palace and get lost wandering the dirt paths, relax by the Fuente de Los Tritones, and marvel at the traditional Spanish Chalets. The Palace grounds are the perfect place to learn all about Spanish art and culture. Next to the Royal Palace sits the Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena. This Baroque-style Cathedral is known for its gorgeous domes and colorful interior. Make sure you are dressed modestly if you wish to enter. Photo by Eduardo Rodriguez from Unsplash
