Plaza Mayor

Good place to visit, and learn its history. i came in the morning time right away with the sunrise, not crowded because of too early, but I would love to see the scene with nobody that much.

Plaza Mayor in Madrid is undeniably a historic and iconic square with a lot of charm. The architecture is stunning, and it’s a great place to soak in the city’s history and vibe. However, my experience was a bit underwhelming due to the lack of cleanliness and maintenance. The area felt a bit neglected, with litter scattered around and some parts in need of repair. It’s a shame because this could be such a beautiful spot with a little more care. That said, it’s still worth a visit for the atmosphere and the surrounding cafes, but I hope the city invests more in keeping it clean and well-maintained in the future.

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.

Feels like the pulsing heart of Madrid has its main core here. This place is the connection point for many other streets as well. Always buzzing with excitement and people. Architecture does not disappoint.

Visited in August 2024. It was first built during the reign of Philip III (1580–1619). You can see a bronze equestrian statue of Philip III in the middle of Plaza Mayor. It is historically important and should definitely be visited.

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!

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.

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.
