Plaza Mayor

(7 Ratings)
Madrid's main square
A marvelous place to sit out, try some fine wine, and sample yummy tapas while doing some serious people watching. A few minutes walk from Puerto del Sol.

Open square surrounding by cafes and shops

Located near the metro stop SOL, Plaza Mayor is a gathering place to people watch, have a few beers or glass of wine. Beware however that prices are a bit inflated and business cater to tourists. Its still worth a visit and a sit down to have a beer and people watch. Steer clear of the shops around. There is also lots of street performers hawking for cash, if you expect them to perform then you should be willing to cough up a token.
