Best Madrid-Palacio holiday apartments

The city of Madrid has a long and illustrious history of royalty and colonialist power, and nowhere in the city is that more evident than in the Palacio district. The district takes its name from the Palacio Real – Madrid’s royal palace. The breathtaking building has the honour of being the largest palace in western Europe, and its grandeur is every bit as impressive as its size. The site on which the palace and the surrounding buildings sit has been occupied since the 10th century. Originally the side of the old Alcazar, the area is now a major tourist attraction, and you can get close to the action by renting a holiday apartment in Palacio from 9flats.

Luxurious Holiday Apartments in Palacio Provide Privacy and Comfort

Work on the stunning palace building began in 1737; it was originally built in order to house the royal court of Felipe V. An opulent collection of tapestries, artworks, ceramics and historic artefacts now have their permanent home within the palace, which makes it a living and serving museum of sorts. Indeed, over 800,000 people visited to the palace in 2012 – making it one of the world’s most popular museums. Although it is a popular tourist attraction, the building still performs an important role in government, and it will often be closed to the public in order to make way for official ceremonies, state dinners and receptions. As well as the palace itself, the area is blessed with countless buildings of great beauty, and basing your stay in a holiday apartment in Madrid will allow you to admire them first-hand. A holiday home rented through 9flats will give you all the creature comforts of home and a refuge from huge crowds of tourists that descend on the area during peak holiday season.

Discover the Real Madrid with Holiday Accommodation in Palacio

Staying in this stunning area of Madrid will also provide you with an opportunity to explore a great many examples of architectural magnificence. The palace gardens – referred to as the Campo del Moro – are a collection of expertly landscaped grounds that feature a dazzling array of fauna, water features and exquisitely maintained lawns. The Plaza de Oriente is a square only a stone’s throw from the palace, and it features a selection of monuments dedicated to previous Spanish monarchs. And the magnificent Royal Theatre building not only serves as a stunning example of Spanish architecture, it is the location of regular concerts and lavish stage productions. Renting holiday accommodation in Justicia will allow you to completely immerse yourself in the cultures and customs of Madrid – something hotels can’t do.
