Almudena cathedral & dome
Everyone queues for the famous rooftops; almost nobody climbs the cathedral dome next to the palace. It's cheap, quiet, and the view over the Palace is superb.
The cathedral beside the palace — go up to the dome for a quiet, cheap, high view over the Royal Palace and the city, with almost no one else up there.
