While the Royal Casino of Murcia is a private building, the ground floor is open to the public, allowing you to see around 12 of its grand rooms and halls. An admission ticket comes with an audio guide and self-guided tours generally take up to 1.5 hours.

The Royal Casino of Murcia is deep within the narrow pedestrian streets of Murcia’s Old Town, just up from the Cathedral of Murcia. If you’re already sightseeing in Murcia, walking should be the easiest way to get there. Otherwise, board the R14 or R18 and alight at the Plaza de Cetina bus stop a few minutes walk from the building. Day trippers coming by car will find parking lots orbiting the historical center.
You can enter the public spaces of the Royal Casino daily during the day, but evening access is limited to members. The casino tends to be at its busiest during the middle of the day, especially around lunchtime thanks to its restaurant; wait until the afternoon to visit for a quieter experience.
On your tour of the Royal Casino of Murcia, you’ll pass through a series of rooms, passages, and halls that each bear their own style. The Ballroom is the standout room thanks to its extremely lavish neo-Baroque design decked in gold. Other rooms couldn’t be more different—whether it’s the English Library, with its wealth of woodwork, or the Arabic Court decked out with delicate gold leaf and a neo-Nazarí design.
