Getting there

Walk to Puerta del León by Plaza del Triunfo, near the cathedral. The historic center is easiest to approach on foot.

Admission

Book a date and time in advance. Carry ID matching any named ticket and check whether the royal apartments require an additional reservation.

What to see

Slow down in the decorated courtyard rooms before going into the gardens. It is easy to spend most of the visit outdoors.

Plan your visit

Check your entry time first. Keep the walk around Santa Cruz for before or after, depending on the slot.

Allow two to three hours for palace rooms and gardens. Some paths and steps are uneven; budget extra time if you want to visit both areas slowly.
