Things to do in Real Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial

On klook page it says there were 2 departures, actually there is only ONE! just go for the 2nd one and don’t end up like my friend and I who got up early for nothing. Seeked help and still ended up walking in circles to get to the meeting point. As for the tour itself, we loved it! It does require some climbing of stairs so be prepared. The monastery was huge but really beautiful. We even went down to the tomb of the kings and queens where photography was not allowed and that room gave me chills. A memory that for your eyes to see but will definitely stay with you. After that we went up to the mountains and it was another breathtaking church. The space was massive and it felt like a little squeak would echo throughout.
