Best Puerta Del Sol Tours & Trips

Madrid’s most famous and central square lies within walking distance of Plaza Mayor. Puerta del Sol gets its name from having been one of the city’s gates in times past that faced east and was adorned with an image of the sun. It is here that the throngs gather on New Year’s Eve to count down the seconds to the New Year on the square’s clock tower, whereas millions of others throughout the country watch this clock from home.

7-Day Iberian Peninsula Explorer Loop Tour: Valencia, Granada, Seville, Lisbon, Toledo, Madrid

From Madrid to Lisbon, every part of this trip was organized perfectly. The buses were comfortable, the hotels in Valencia and Seville were clean, and breakfasts were always fresh. The guide’s explanations at the Alhambra and Alcázar were fantastic, and I loved the free time in Lisbon to try the custard tarts. Booking online was simple, and I appreciated that the platform offered 24-hour support during the whole tour—helped when we had minor questions about train schedules
