Plaza Mayor

Worth it if you want a proper Madrid centrepiece experience rather than just wandering through – the 4.8 rating from nearly 42k reviews suggests people genuinely rate it, and with 328 bookable experiences you'll find something that suits your angle, whether that's food tours or history walks. Paid entry stings a bit, so consider whether a guided experience offers better value than going solo; crowds are heaviest midday, so dawn or early evening usually works better for 18-35s wanting photos without the chaos.
