Very nice monument in the middle of Retrio. Definitely a must-see for every tourist . Go here on weekends!
Absolutely gorgeous historic glass greenhouse in Retiro Park . Also free! Get here early before the crowds arrive.
The Palacio de Cristal ("Crystal Palace ") is a glass and metal structure located in Madrid's Buen Retiro Park . It was built in 1887 to exhibit flora and fauna from the Philippines.
Amazing palace , the astonishing play of light and shadow, equally beautiful from inside and outside. The palace placed near the lake with swans, ducks and a lot of other birds.
worth walking from the train station and climbing to see it and the lake aside
Beautiful crystal palace inside the garden ????
Beautiful pavilion that has neat art instillations on occasion. Worth a stop when wandering around the park .
Spectacular and free entrance .
Beautiful former greenhouse in the middle of the park . Could imagine weddings hosted here!
Cute little glass building with small exhibits that change regularly.
The most beautiful building in El Retiro park . Must absolutely see.
Based on the idea that literature broadens our horizons and we should be free to imagine anything. A beautiful must-see!
Lovely place in a big and amazing park !!
Fancy crystal palace . You have to queue to enter.
Was closely modeled on the building of the same name in London. Constructed in 1887. The structure , mostly of glass set in an iron framework on a brick base, is in the form of the Greek cross.
Outstandingly beautiful. A must in a wonderfully special park .
The palace is made of glass. So pretty. Like a greenhouse with scenic views
Free entry. There's turtles in the pond outside
Stunning palace made of glass in the middle of Retiro park
Super nice, try to find it in the retiro!
It's amazing place, you should go and see it!
Amazing on a sunny day
Just a few art pieces and a bunch of people taking selfies.
Closed when we were there but still pretty good to look at.
The glass building
Good to visit if you are wondering around the park . Yet nothing much
A place you must see
This gem in the heart of Retiro houses extraordinary exhibits from the MNCARS.
A hidden gem in retiro park .

Beautifffuuuul during the sun set

Meh... the comments here are overreacting about this place.
Magnificent palace if only it was ever opened!!
must see !!
The nicest building of the park !
As for me nothing very interesting, looks better from the distance
Peaceful @ lake
Beautiful!
You must stay hours there and just looking.
Increíble lugar, el día que fui el 23 de dic. No había exposición y aun así valió la pena. Los jardines aledaños y el estanque le dan un toque especial
Precioso y de una belleza muy especial. Para los fotógrafos , se pueden tomar fotos en su interior sin necesidad de permisos especiales.
Un lugar de los imprescindibles si estás por el retiro. Entrada gratuita , y no suele haber mucha gente. Tiene baño . Las escaleras que tiene en frente junto al agua son geniales para descansar ;)
Lugar lindo! Impossível não imaginar uma festa de gala . Um pouco quente, mas naquela época não existia ar condicionado, rs. Parada certa!!!
Difficile de savoir si c'est des miroirs ou de simples vitres. Sert aussi d'expositions d'art moderne . Attention, le lieu est fermé quand il pleut !
Imperdible la visita al Palacio de Cristal si están en el Parque del Retiro . Frecuentemente hay exposiciones de arte muy interesante y la vista del estanque que está en frente es preciosa
El lugar mas bonito del Parque del Retiro , adentro del edificio encontrarás exposiciones de arte temporales, su estanque y jardines aledaños son muy tranquilos y bonitos para dar un paseo
Beautiful lake in the middle of the park. Boating and feeding the ducks. Very nice! - MJ.
Nice building. Architecture is great. Some art expositions inside. - David
Mesmerizing even on a cloudy day. You cant go inside (I visited Feb 17, 2017) but the view from above is stunning. Will pass by again during sunset. - Kareem C
great for people watching at the weekend or bank holiday - Sarah Gautier
There are some cafés with outdoor seats around the plaza. Try them at nights - Bahman S
Huge park in the middle of the city. A lot of trails for walks and biking. Small sports facility for workouts. Great place to find stillness and quiet. - Loni French
A must visit for Madrid - every time you go, there is something new you can discover. Buy tickets online to avoid the queue - Di Kadyrova
