About this event

Once a month the Royal Guard performs the full solemn changing of the guard in the courtyard of the Royal Palace: some four hundred people, a hundred horses and period uniforms from the reigns of Alfonso XII and Alfonso XIII. Arrive early and enter by the Puerta de Santiago; it fills.

Why we picked it

The full monthly ceremony, not the daily version — 400 guards and 100 horses, free.

Free entry

Free public access to the Plaza de la Armería for the ceremony.
