Plaza Mayor, Madrid

Amazing square with magic atmosphere. Great architecture in the heart of the city. Has many exits/enters and beautiful at any time of the day. In the evening becomes crowded. Wonderful place to have dinner.

Iconic square near my hostel, one of the most famous squares in Europe. I went when there was a Christmas market, and while it was a nice cultural experience as it was my first Christmas market, the merchandise was quite mid. Love the location and proximity to other famous places.

Beautiful plaza with a lot of great energy. Lots of people, but the plaza is so big it didn't feel too crowded -We were there end of March. It feels good here, there are street artists playing music or dancing, and people seem to come here just to relax and eat some tapas. I would come back here

A must-visit historical attraction for anyone visiting Spain. We had come during a rainy, winter day so we only explored the center of the plaza and checked out a few shops of the Christmas market. Close to the Sol metro station and full of people walking, shopping and hanging out.

Spectacular view, all buildings looking great, renovated. A lot of restaurants around the square, various options and prices including even a Pizza Hut. If you have your child with you it might be difficult to find a place with food for the kid. The souvenir store is not much, high prices, few items.
