Puerta Del Sol is the gorgeous city center of Madrid. I had the privilege of being taken there by a friend who’s a native Madridian but you don’t need that cool aspect to fully get the beauty and ore of this plaza. This place has a little of all the best that Madrid has to offer, including tapas, drinks, local vendors and truly awesome architecture. When I went the sunshine was at its peak and visitors were in abundance, but even with all the foot-traffic it never felt overwhelming. One thing to keep in mind are pickpockets. I was fortunate enough to not fall victim, but I knew some that were…so just keep it in the back of your head when you’re there. But honestly, just go! You won’t be sorry.
