Things to know before booking your tickets

Liria Palace is where history and art high-five in velvet-draped hallways. Whether you’re there for the standard entry ticket or upgrading to the 90-minute Spanish guided tour, one thing’s for sure: you’re in for a treat.

The cherry on top? Every ticket comes with a digital audio guide featuring Joana Vasconcelos. Yes, the internationally acclaimed artist herself—expect wit, wisdom, and maybe a saucy secret or two.

Speaking of Joana, don’t miss the Flamboyant temporary exhibition that’s equal parts fabulous and thought-provoking. If you like your art with a splash of sass and a dose of dazzle, this one’s for you.

You can access the exhibition from 10am to 8pm, with last access at 6:30pm. However, the exhibition closes by 3pm on Monday.

You’re free to explore the palace’s halls and gardens along a circular route, so you won’t miss a thing or accidentally end up in a duke’s closet.

The first two floors are wheelchair accessible, so everyone can get a taste of palace life, though unfortunately, the upper levels are still not fully accessible by wheelchairs or strollers.

If you’re planning to make it a royal week, check out the combo tickets—Royal Palace of Madrid, the Royal Collections Museum, or even a panoramic tour with a top-rated operator. The best part? You don’t have to cram it all in one day—use the combo tickets whenever it suits your schedule.

Tips to make your Liria Palace visit hassle-free

Liria Palace guided tours are timed. You won’t be able to explore at your own pace, so follow your assigned group and soak in the details as you go—you can’t circle back.

If you’re taking the audio-guided tour (available in multiple languages), it’s played using a simple QR code. You’ll thank yourself if you plug in your headphones—better audio quality, less distraction, and hands-free comfort.

Your visit covers multiple floors and rooms, and stops are standing only. There are no rest breaks until the end, so wear supportive shoes and be prepared to be on your feet the entire time.

There’s a Goya... but don’t blink. The interiors house original works by Goya, Rubens, and more. But it's easy to miss them if you're not paying attention, as they’re integrated into the décor, not standalone pieces.

Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, the former Duchess of Alba, lived at Liria Palace and held over 40 noble titles (more than Queen Elizabeth). Make sure to look for her portraits or ask your guide for more tidbits about her.

Liria’s library has over 18,000 historical volumes, including Christopher Columbus’ very first letter from the New World. You can't read them, but knowing this rare archive is right there adds major historical weight to your visit.

The palace enforces a quiet, almost contemplative atmosphere. Whispered conversations are allowed, but avoid phone calls and noisy children if you're traveling in a group.

Visit in spring or autumn for the views. While interior visits dominate the experience, spring flowers around the palace entrance and milder weather make waiting or taking photos outside more pleasant and picturesque.

Last admission is at 6:30pm, and it's usually quieter than midday. Perfect if you enjoy slower-paced cultural visits or want better interior shots without crowds.
