Plaza Mayor, Madrid

This was a very grim place. It was not well kept and it was nasty. It was shocking that people of Madrid suggested, repeatedly, that we go and visit Plaza Mayor.

Haven't really spent a lot of time in this place.. When we came here, it was extra early in the morning but the visit was still interesting.. I wonder what it looks like when it's busy with activities.. I just have to see on our next visit.. Art works in chairs and posts are truly picture-worthy... An experience not to miss..

If you leave Madrid without visting Plaza Mayor you have experienced everything this nice city has to offer. This place is great for people watching. There's all kinds of activities and very often art shows and other fairs going on in the open-air square. This place has a lot of history to it, which makes it even more interesting.

Yep, thats rite.....I think I've bought all my souvenirs in this place. Most of them. It's nice there and u can just chill by the fountain and make lots and lots of cool pics... Pple aren't irritating, so we did our own thing and liked it!

its a wonderful sight to visit with the family. Nice view, nice history, and low price. S�o 3 casas conjugadas que ficam a 100m da praia. Ideal para reunir parentes e amigos, mantendo sua privacidade. Juntas, somam 9 confort�veis quartos c/ 18 leitos, todos com arm�rios.

My 11 day tour of Spain was extraordinary. There is so much to see and do in this country. The people are friendly and love tourist (for economic reasons, of course!) This Plaza was beautiful. The high walls enclosing the open space was truly unlike anything I've seen in the states. I'm so glad that the city of Madrid has preserved such wonderful architecture as this. If you get hungry, stop at the little cafe on the way to the Puerta del Sol. They have excellent CHURROS y CHOCOLATE (sugary treats like donuts and hot chocolate)!

The best plan when you decide to visit the heart of Madrid, is a tour guide. The last time I did with planinthecity, fantastic team with charming plans in Madrid, and they gave me 3 proffesional pictures. Just for 18 € each person. It was a good experience for my family.

Plaza Mayor is a great hangout for day or evening. Many restaurants and just a great setting. Some entertainers worth the tips (and many that are not). Get used to waiving NO to the constant vendors walking table to table. Just down the hill is the oldest restaurant in the WORLD, Botin. Dates back to early 1700s. Will find many tourists there. Met several folks from America everytime there.

Plaza Mayor was awesome. It had a relaxing feeling. I really want to go back. Every day I was in Madrid, I sat there for at least an hour. I can't wait to go back!

the best thing about the place is that there is alot of stuff going on. like at night you just see people dancing,singing,and mostly shoping.i had a great time in madrid even at the plaza mayor.
