This heritage gem in central Madrid will allow visitors to explore a space not usually open to the public. Palace officials describe the gardens as “an oasis of serenity where Spanish history and avant-garde European landscaping converge.”

The gardens are divided into two distinct areas. The section visible from Princesa Street features an English style, designed in the 19th century to emulate natural spontaneity in the urban core. Here, notable tree specimens such as centuries-old magnolias, Lebanese cedars, horse chestnuts, and yews surround the neoclassical palace facade, designed by Ventura Rodríguez.

However, the true highlight of the visit lies in the French Garden, an area redesigned in 1916 by the renowned French gardener Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier. Visitors will discover a structure of perfectly symmetrical parterres and an emblematic central fountain, also attributed to Ventura Rodríguez, evoking the splendor of gardens inspired by the Palace of Versailles.

Guided tours of the gardens take place daily at 10:00 AM and cost 10 euros. For those interested in a more comprehensive experience, the combined ticket, which includes access to Liria Palace, amounts to 27 euros.
