Here you’ll find the tourist attractions and can take a selfie with the statue of El Oso y el Madroño, the symbol of Madrid.
Sol and Huertas together form the bustling centre of Madrid, with lively shopping streets and many sights. In these neighbourhoods, you’ll see plenty of shoppers, street performers and tourists. Be sure to visit Madrid’s two famous squares, Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. The large, famous thoroughfare, Gran Vía, is also well worth a visit. There you’ll find shops, restaurants and cafés, cinemas, theatres and rooftop terraces. In the evening, the billboards and theatre signs light up, giving the street an almost cinematic atmosphere; it’s no wonder that Gran Vía is known as ‘the Broadway of Madrid’.
