Palacio de Cristal

Amazing place sorrounded by a lake and beautiful greenery. Special for taking awesome pictures. You can feed the ducks and tortoises with the kids. Fully recommended. I visited in summer 2024, the palace was closed for renovation.

Beautiful place, has tiny details painted on. It's sad that it was too hot to stay around for long to admire it but I got to take some pictures! There is a little pond with geese, ducks, swans and turtles right in front of it! Excellent piece of architecture

The cristal palace is located in the Retiro park towards the South and is pretty much in the middle. There’s a lake right in front of the palace that sometimes has turtles and such. I don’t think currently you can enter at all because they’re under construction but the glass is see through so you can still see quite a bit. Overall, a nice place to visit on your walk through the Retiro park.

The Palacio de Cristal in Madrid's El Retiro Park is a stunning spot, even with the interior closed. Its glass and iron design is impressive, and the surrounding pond and greenery add to its charm. Perfect for a relaxed stroll and some great photos. A must-visit in Madrid!

When I visited in July 2024 it was temporarily closed but it’s gorgeous even from the outside. The water pond next to it is very nice too. There are turtles and ducks swimming around.

The palace was closed during our visit. There is a fountain in the front of the entrance. You can sit on the steps to take the views in. It has a few good photo ops close-by.

Such a beautiful place to see! 😍 we wanted to go inside but it was closed for renovations unfortunately Still so pretty !! ✨

A full 5 stars for this Crystal Palace ! The Palacio de Cristal in Retiro Park, Madrid, is a stunning architectural gem that captivates visitors with its glass and iron structure. Nestled within the lush surroundings of Parque del Buen Retiro, it serves as both a visual delight and a cultural venue. The palace is praised for its magnificent design, often described as an architectural marvel. Its all-glass facade allows natural light to flood the interior, creating a serene atmosphere. While it once functioned as a greenhouse, the Palacio de Cristal now hosts various art installations and exhibitions, adding to its cultural relevance. It provides picturesque views of the lake and surrounding park, making it an ideal spot for photography and relaxation. The palace is so beautiful, and closed for the season but the surrounding area and spotting the palace from outside is still a must-visit for those exploring Retiro Park, offering a blend of natural beauty, art, and architectural elegance
