Centro de Turismo Plaza Mayor

Gorgeous building and interior. There are lots of great trinkets and cute souvenirs to buy. The staff were friendly but mainly just handed out a map when k asked questions.

A must visit place in Madrid, architecturally stunning, contains the tourist office; all cafés, bars and restaurants expensive. I think you're paying for the real estate. Great for people watching but didn't seem to have the buzz of our last visit two years ago.

The Casa de la Panadería, or Bakery House in English is a building that was erected during the construction of the Plaza Mayor. Originally used for various government agencies, it's now used as offices for tourism and there's a tourist information centre on the ground floor. The building is very much in the Flemish style and has two towers and spires. The frescoes in the facade are very beautiful and at the centre of the facade is the Spanish coat of arms. You can't miss this building if visiting Plaza Mayor, so definitely take a close look, it's beautiful and a favourite target of selfie takers.

The Plaza Mayor is a breathtaking giant space in the heart of Madrid. It was first built during the reign of Philip III. Called in Spanish the Centro de Turismo de Plaza Mayor, it is a nicely restored and carefully preserved municipal building from 1619.

The original Casa de la Panaderia was completed in 1671. The facade was originally decorated by frescoes that over the years suffered from elements. The current ones were completed in 1992 and depict mythological figures. An excellent photo opportunity. The plaza is usually crowded, so you'll have to look for a good spot to take pictures.

Thank you sooooo much. You saved us and our car. Congratulations for Mrs Luna S. .... unbelievable helpful and so gentle!!! Thank you personal Luna S.

The only building in the square that has remained since its construction in the 17th century. Today it is a tourist information office, but then the building was the place in which all the bread in the city was baked, so that they could keep a fixed price. The building is lined with paintings, which may look ancient but were drawn in 1992

A peaceful and lively courtyard.
