Plaza Mayor
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays avoids crowds and provides soft light for photos; late afternoon brings performers and a lively terrace scene.
Budget tips
Access to the square is free; paid options include guided tours and nearby museums like the Madrid History Museum. Join a tip-based walking tour or visit museums on their free days, and eat a block away to avoid high terrace prices.

About
快速信息: 红砖拱廊下常能听到吉他与交谈声，橘黄灯光洒在鹅卵石上让人仿佛走进一幅温暖的画。游客常围坐在露天咖啡座，街头表演和小吃摊在节庆时会把氛围推向高潮。
亮点: 方形广场四周被237扇朝向中心的阳台包围，黄褐色的立面在夕阳下散发暖意，鹅卵石在人群脚步和咖啡杯碰撞时发出清脆回响。每逢节日和周末，广场会变成热闹的摊贩市集，拐角上那座名为Casa de la Panadería的老楼彩绘壁画自1619年完成以来，一直在默默记录着集市、斗牛与庆典的历史细节。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the square is cobbled and can be slippery after rain.
- Best photos come from the center looking toward Casa de la Panadería, or from a first-floor balcony for the full symmetry.
- Avoid midday weekends if you want quieter photos; early morning offers empty plazas and local delivery scenes.
- Skip the busiest terrace cafés on the arcades, walk one block to find more authentic and better value tapas.
