If you want to discover the history of Spain in Madrid's newest museum and enjoy the charm of the city's oldest neighborhood, this is the tour for you. The Royal Collections Gallery, opened in 2023, offers an extraordinary collection of artworks, tapestries, decorative arts, and royal carriages amassed over the centuries by Spanish monarchs. Inside the museum, we will also visit Madrid's oldest archaeological site: the medieval walls of the former Muslim citadel. We will combine this visit with a walking tour of the Habsburg Quarter, the oldest part of the city, filled with stunning architecture, charming squares, and rich history.
