The 10 Best Things to do in Sol, Community of Madrid

April 12, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Plaza Mayor

Huge plaza packed with cafes, bars and tourists.

Reviewed By Falconaf1971 - Leigh, United Kingdom

One of my favourite parts of the city of Madrid, we were there during the day and also at night to eat. A beautiful square with tourist information, plenty of places to eat and drink although we recommend Gusto’s, a great ice cream shop on the same side as the tourist information, just beware of the Spanish flamenco dresses lined up and also any character such as Mickey Mouse offering to let you take a photo with them as they want money off you for this, and some can be a bit damanding. But other than this it’s great, the architecture is stunning plenty of people around and souvenir shops just out of this square. It’s a short walk from puerto del sol another favourite place. Well worth a trip here, we did it every night
