Overview
Palacio encompasses the Royal Palace and the historic 'Madrid de los Austrias.' It is arguably the most beautiful part of the city, with wide stone plazas and grand architecture. Unlike Sol or Malasaña, certain pockets of Palacio are surprisingly quiet and residential. The trade-off is that the hills are steep, and many buildings are protected, meaning renovations can be difficult and elevators rare.
Best for
- History buffs
- Couples seeking romantic surroundings
- Fans of classical architecture
Less suited to
- People needing modern building amenities
- Those on a strict budget
"Living amongst the grandest history and most beautiful views in the city."
