UNESCO-listed 11th-century palace now used as seat of the Aragonese Parliament, with guided tours.

Tickets sold before the entrance, closer to the street, but there was a guard informing everyone where the tickets are sold not far from the stand.
The fortress is beautiful with lots of interesting details and great inner courtyards out of which two were accessible.
At the end of the tour you will end up in the part they use for the city council (and if you see the screen with the political parties, don't google it).

After visiting Seville, Granada, and Cordoba and seeing the influence of the moors, this renovated and still used palace was a different experience that nonetheless adds to the mix of different cultural influences on Spain. Make sure to take advantage of the audio tour. It presents just in time context making the history and location memorable.
Fantastic castle with the most beautiful courtyard. Very interesting app to download on your phone. Closed between 2 and 4 pm. Better book a ticket in advance.
Beautiful palace, cheap visit, especially for people under 30 or students it only costs 1€. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 star rating is because I felt that inside is not recreated in a way to resemble the original form, it's more new
We took the fantastic English tour of this magnificent historical site. The guide really made the many layers of history come alive. Online advance reservations are required, but you only pay the entrance fee upon arrival.
You NEED to make an online reservation first. I assume it’s not as busy outside of the summer months, but I had to come back the next day because I didn’t realize they would run out of tickets. A few other people were in my situation too, so it’s quite common.
I highly recommend one of the guided visits. It really helped appreciate and understand everything we were seeing. There’s one in English at 11 AM and one in French at 5 PM and a bunch in Spanish.
It was a wonderful visit. I really loved everything about it and I spent quite some time there. It’s really cool to see the Muslim palace, the Christian palace in the modern parliament in one place.

This was a nice late afternoon stop on a hot summer day, interesting rooms to explore and nice architecture details. There was a gravel parking lot toward the back and a nice little park around the grounds. Just be mindful of the time when you go as it is closed between 2:30-4pm.
Surprised with the visit. Very positive. There was queue just before the museum opened but it was easily managed and moved quickly. We were three and just paid 7€ for a guided visit with a group, really affordable. Our tour guide, Alvaro gave us all the details to understand the whole structure. Although it was extremely noisy and in my opinion, school visits should have specifically reserved slots or even days. It's great cultural place for them to learn but also hard to keep kids on low level of noise when the excitement hits. Other than that, a great day learning about it. Defo a must go when in Zaragoza.
