Puerta del Sol
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays keeps crowds light and gives soft directional light for photos. Evenings offer lively tapas and illuminated signs, ideal if you prefer nightlife atmosphere.
Budget tips
Public square, free to enter with no tickets required; nearby museums and tours cost extra. Save by using the Madrid tourist travel pass for metro trips, join a free walking tour for local context, and avoid cafés that face the square which charge tourist prices.

About
快速信息: 广场中央立着一个被称为“零公里”的里程碑，西班牙全国道路的里程常以此为起点计算，许多人来这里合影留念。跨年时分，人群会挤满周围街道，跟着钟声一口吞下十二颗葡萄迎接新年，那种喧闹又温暖的场面让人记忆深刻。
亮点: 每到12月31日深夜，成千上万的人会聚在广场的老钟楼下，随着钟声的12次敲响每响一次就吞下一颗葡萄，空气中混着热红酒的甜香和烟花燃放的刺鼻硝烟味。地面上有一块刻着“公里零”的石板，已经被无数鞋底磨得光亮超过100年，旁边那座熊与果树的铜像在午后阳光下会反出刺眼的金属光泽，常被当地人当作集合和拍照的标志。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, cobblestones and standing crowds mean a lot of walking.
- For the best photo, stand on the Kilometre Zero plaque facing the Tio Pepe sign at dusk for balanced light.
- Keep valuables secure and use a zippered bag; pickpockets target crowded plazas and nearby metro stations.
- Avoid dining at the immediate square perimeter; walk one block into surrounding streets for better value and local tapas.
