(Metro Opera - Linea 5 / Linea 2) The palace, no longer functional, but you can pay a fee to enter and see its grandeur from the inside. Opera house is across the palace. Beautiful architecture.

The Palacio Real is Madrid’s Royal Palace and is also the largest palace in Europe with over 2,800 rooms. It is the official residence of the Royal family; however it is only used for state ceremonies these days. The palace is open to the public but even just a walk around its grounds and courtyard is a great free thing to do in Madrid. The Royal Palace is a beautiful building to look at and once you have taken in this architectural splendor, check out the view from the side of courtyard.
