The poor "girl" is in the middle of one of the main traffic streams of the center of Madrid. Nice to see, but don't expect to see an extraordinary monument. It's some kind of world famous between Madrid citizens.

To say that we stumbled upon this area would be an understatement. No matter what direction you enter the city, the monumental government buildings overpower the city and draw you to them! Take a good half day to explore this area of Madrid and try out the many wonderful cafes and bars. Ensure you've also got great walking shoes because the streets are much longer than you could imagine!

One of the symbols of Madrid: a big roundabout in one of the most exclusive areas of the city. Cibeles Palace and Cibeles Fountain are spectacular at night, especially if you manage to take a picture when there are no cars around. The other palaces surrounding the square are also iconic, including the one of Bank of Spain (well known for being themed in the third season of Money Heist tv serie). For football/soccer fans: that's the place where Real Madrid comes to celebrate its victories.

If you go after 12mn, will not see anything. No sign of the Fountain. no lights. No.. Nothing. stay in your Hotel and enjoy the Night. go somewhere else but not here. Waste of time. Summer time suppose to be more enjoyable, walking in the night while Sun is off, not too hot and not too much people. Othere summer destination know the deal but NOT MADRID. POOR MADRID

Beautiful square at the Palacio Cibeles. Big, beautiful fountain and lots of traffic! You might want to check later in the evening when it's dark and fountain and buildings are lighted. This is also the place where the people from Madrid will celebrate championships of Real Madrid. Just great for strolling or cycling by when in Madrid.
