Best Madrid Plaza Mayor Tours from Lisbon

In the heart of the bustling and modern city of Madrid lies its most important and popular public square, the Plaza Mayor. Built in the early 17th century, it has been the center for cultural festivities and important events throughout its history, from bullfights to the Spanish Inquisition. Plenty of cafes and restaurants offer outdoor seating in the square, where you can eat a tapa and drink Spanish wine while soaking up the city's atmosphere. Notice the colorful frescoes on the Bakery House, arguably the most beautiful building in the plaza.
