Aranjuez Tours & Activities | Discover Royal Palaces & Gardens

Nestled just south of Madrid, Aranjuez is a charming town known for its grand royal palace, exquisite gardens, and tranquil atmosphere. With its rich cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes along the banks of the Tagus River, it offers visitors a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

A Glimpse into the Past

Once a favorite retreat for Spanish royalty, the town boasts a fascinating history. The Royal Palace and its vast gardens were built during the 16th century, and over time, kings and queens have left their mark, turning Aranjuez into a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its elegant design and historical significance.

When to Go

Spring and early autumn are the best times to visit, when the gardens bloom, and temperatures are mild. In summer, days can get quite warm, but the lush parks offer plenty of shade for a pleasant stroll.
