About this trip

On a trip to Madrid, there are some sights you can’t miss. Puerto del Sol is Madrid’s most famous square — and a great spot to be on New Year’s Eve. Mercado de San Miguel is a fine gastronomic market. And if you want to see a palace with over 3,000 rooms (!), head to Palacio Real de Madrid.
