Today you’ll find street performers, artists and plenty of shops. The Plaza Mayor is one of Madrid’s best-known public places. Its cobbled courtyard is surrounded by stylish restaurants, boutiques, bars and cafés. It was a chaotic market back in the 16th century until King Felipe II commissioned a proper public square. The plaza was completed in 1619 under the supervision of architect Juan Gómez de Mora, but would burn down three times before the present version was constructed in 1790. Walk through the plaza, soak up the atmosphere and admire the elegant architecture. Look up to see some of Madrid’s most expensive residential real estate or turn your eyes to the painted façade of the Casa de la Panaderia. It was once the headquarters of the Bakers’ Guild, but today houses a tourist information centre. Head to the middle of the plaza to see a statue of King Felipe III on horseback created by Giambologna and Pietro Tacca. It was erected in 1616 but moved to the plaza during renovations in the 19th century.Continue exploring to see artists selling their work, street performers and musicians. The plaza is still used for public celebrations and other festivities, so be sure to check local event guides to see what is scheduled during your visit. Wander along the walkways and duck into boutiques or grab a coffee and a bite to eat. There are several restaurants and cafés around the plaza, but take note that prices can be high.Walk through one of nine gateways and admire the rest of Madrid’s Los Austrias quarter. The Plaza Mayor is in the centre of the city and accessible from other major destinations including the Casa del Ayuntamiento and Royal Palace. The closest metro stations are Ópera and Puerta del Sol. You can visit the plaza at all hours of the day and night, and most restaurants stay open quite late. ## Plan a trip to see Plaza Mayor Price found within the past 48 hours.

I stayed in a single room with shared bathroom. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, though the room was very small - just enough room for a single bed and very small bedside table ... but it did have a TV. The shared bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water and good water pressure, though the shower cubicle is very small. As a lone traveller I felt safe there (5th floor and plenty of locked doors). My only gripe with the room was that it had no window to the outside - there was a 'window' which opened to the stairwell/lift and there was a lot of noise from this area until quite late at night. The location is good - a 5-10 minute walk to Gran Via, about 20 minute walk to the Plaza Mayor - with quite a few places to eat and small shops for snacks and beverages close by. Staff were friendly, though I didn't really require their services as only there for a few days.

destination 5 - Excellent 251 4 - Good 274 3 - Okay 44 2 - Disappointing 2 1 - Terrible 1 ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller expensive drinks on the actual square - cafe/bars just of from this are a cheaper option ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Dinning here is expensive, but we preferred the quieter streets leading to the square. Much better value. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Lively and plenty of eating and drinking options ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller Loads of eateries some a little pricey - better options off the plaza - so busy but it was building up to champions league final! ### 2/5 - Disappointing Verified traveller Unpleasant in the evening as it turns into the city's cardboard city. It should be one of Madrid's main attractions, but sadly will be remembered for the beggars and homeless and the resultant grime. ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller Lots of homeless people sleep here on an evening which is off putting. ### Popular places to visit ![Mercado de San Miguel](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/224000/224745-Mercado-De-San-Miguel.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### San Miguel Market 5/5(1 review) Shop for fresh produce, attend a festival or relax with a drink and some tapas at Madrid’s popular marketplace.
