The train-only route costs €32 for adults and €24 for kids 1 m to 1.40 m tall, and kids under 1 m ride free on a lap. Routes with guided visits cost €43 to €60. Lunch is not included: it is on your own in Aranjuez, and every route involves a lot of walking, so bring comfortable shoes.

Can we bring a stroller?

Yes. Strollers travel in the train's luggage van, and in the bus holds on the guided routes in Aranjuez. Electric scooters are not allowed on board.

Is there a version in English?

Yes. The English Tour route runs fully in English, with a guided walk through the Royal Barges Museum and the Prince's Garden, a video-guide visit to the Royal Palace and the Parterre and Island gardens.

Can we stay the night in Aranjuez?

Yes. Saturday passengers can stay over and ride back on Sunday's train at no extra cost. Seats for this are limited, so arrange it with the organizers by phone before you go.
