Very disappointing: there was a long queue at the entrance and not much to see when you finally get inside. Also in the pictures with water, it looks way better than it actually is. There are many better things to do in Madrid so, especially if you will have only a short stay in the city, skip this place.
NOT WORTH IT, even if the entrance is free.

The temple is set high up on a hill and therefore the views from here are great, especially of the Palace. There was a long queue to enter intro the temple and I understand that although it is free to get in, the visit is timed to 15 mins and they only let a certain amount of people in at the same time .. Would defiantly recommend to visit the Temple. You are not allowed to walk around the various parts however as there are Securtiy to ward you off but you can walk around it and view From all angles

Was very nice, located in a park, you can walk the grounds but only a couple of people at a time, there was a line when I went. It didn’t take too long. Was in very nice condition, area was nice and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful; would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.

It was a beautiful to see the structure. You need tickets to go see inside the tomb. There was slight queue. But No one is not allowed to step foot into an enclaving there. The surrounding park is well shaded with trees. Perfect for an evening stroll, sitting or walk with your pet. I enjoyed listening not a talented trumpeter perform while sitting on one of the benches

Nice, even interesting, but not stunning.
You can go there, if you have time, as it is located 5 minutes from Plaza Espana and 10-15 from the Royal Palace that you would probably visit.
Its park is nice as well with a beautiful view on the landscape and the Royal Palace.

My visit to the Temple of Debod was truly captivating. Depending on the time of day, there might be a small queue to enter, but the experience is well worth any wait. The temple's beauty and historical significance left me in awe.

The ancient Egyptian architecture transported me to a different era. The intricate carvings and well-preserved structure were a testament to the craftsmanship of that time. It's incredible to think that this temple has found a new home in the heart of Madrid.

The surroundings, with the serene reflecting pool and lush greenery, added to the enchantment. It's a perfect spot to take in the breathtaking views of the city, especially during sunset.

The informative plaques around the temple provided valuable insights into its history and how it came to be in Madrid. This added depth to the experience and made me appreciate the cultural exchange that brought the temple here.

If you have an interest in history, architecture, or simply want a peaceful place to relax, the Temple of Debod is a must-visit. It's a unique gem in the heart of Madrid, offering a glimpse into both Egyptian and Spanish history.

Very nice park with amazing views over the city and the Egyptian temple.

Great for a stroll during the day or sunset. Or even at night. Free of charge.

Didnt go into the temple but it looks better from afar but the views in the park are incredible.

Some cafes close by. Also connecting to another area that is worth exploring.
