Highlights: Imagine walking through halls where Isabella I and Ferdinand II perhaps planned their royal decrees, surrounded by intricate Mudejar architecture. The museum preserves incredible tapestries and even a rare 15th-century printing press.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking on uneven cobblestone streets.
- The bell tower offers fantastic panoramic views, but the stairs are narrow; go early to avoid crowds.
- Don't miss the medieval alchemy exhibit in the west wing; it features fascinating old instruments.
- Allow extra time to wander through the adjacent historic gardens, which are beautifully maintained.
