Plaza Mayor

This is a large and beautiful square, with little roads and passages leading off in all directions. Very popular, with an array of restaurants, cafes and shops. It even has a duck shop in the corner. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Madrid.

Located in the heart of Madrid this is one spot you must visit. Plenty of restaurants and there is always something going on at Plaza Mayor. With multiple points of entrance don't worry about getting in. There are plenty of tourists & locals that visit regularly. With plenty of souvenir shops you are sure to find something to remind you of trip to Madrid Spain.

Visited in August 2024 This place is an Icon of Madrid and should not be missed...we took our time and walked the entire edge enjoying seeing the different restaurants and shops and sampling the foods of many places...were not disappointed with anything...very exciting, vibrant, and lively place! Smells and sounds pull you into cafes and shops sometimes just to experience the spot for a moment! Not to be missed!

Good place to roam around in Madrid. Plenty of local businesses around but when I visited there were Xmas markets in the centre which overshadowed other shops. But very symbolic place within Madrid.

Beautiful plaza to spend time! We had a great time walking around. Highly recommend it to anyone in Spain for some nice views and tapas.

Plaza Mayor in Madrid is a historic and vibrant square that embodies the city's charm and culture. Surrounded by elegant red façades and featuring the iconic statue of King Philip III, it’s a picturesque spot for strolling and soaking in the atmosphere. The square buzzes with activity, offering outdoor cafés, artisan markets, and traditional Spanish delicacies like bocadillo de calamares. Its beauty is especially magical during festivals and holidays, such as the Christmas market. While it can be crowded and slightly pricey, Plaza Mayor’s blend of history, architecture, and lively energy makes it an unforgettable highlight of Madrid.

Magical place. I can't wait to come back. Just remember there are no public restrooms. If you need to use a restroom, you'll have to order a drink somewhere in order to use the customers-only restroom... which means you'll need to use a restroom again somewhere else... which means you'll need to get another drink somewhere else. It is what it is. Honestly, as annoying as it may seem,I wouldn't change it. Somehow it adds to the charm. Sounds weird, I know. And I'm not going to attempt to elaborate. So much beauty and history here.

This beautiful square is located in the center of Madrid. It was originally built by King Philip 111 in 16th century whose equestrian statue is stalled in the center. All the buildings in the square are of same height. It has nine gates to enter. It is busy throughout the day with tourists and locals. It comes to life in the evening. There are a lot of traditional shops, restaurants and bars. No vehicles are allowed inside square. A great place for wondering and people watch.
