A unique, magnificent, magical place that’s well worth a visit. A book is included at no extra cost—it’s the same price as the admission ticket. It was quite crowded, even though we had reserved a specific time slot for the tour. It’s no wonder—it’s hard to tear yourself away from such an enchanting place!

Although it’s always hard to get a ticket, this time we managed to do so—we had to postpone our trip to Madrid by a day because the website had sold out the previous week. We were helped by Francisco, who was very friendly and helpful. It really is a wonderful experience to visit this famous bookstore. We highly recommend a visit. Thank you
