As Spain’s largest city, with a population of some 3 million and the country’s capital, Madrid is a lively and interesting place to visit for travellers from all over the world. Like most European capitals, Madrid has lots of things for the tourist to do and see; many interesting tourist sights, world-famous museums and galleries, some great restaurants, cafes and bars, and the city is also host to many of the country’s main music, cultural and business events.The Madrilenian people are also well known for of partying, and there are many areas, mainly scattered around the centre of the city, which come to life at night time, such as the districts of Huertas, Tribunal, Moncloa Bilbao, and Alonso Martinez. Also the city’s main gay ‘ghetto’, Chueca, has become a popular hot spot for a mixed, hedonistic crowd whose main purpose is to enjoy themselves until the early hours of the morning. You should take note that things start late here! Especially on the weekends, when often restaurants are not open until 10.00 or 11.00pm.As soon as you have decided that you would like to visit the city, you should start looking for your ideal accommodation from the wide selection of hotels in Madrid. One of the most important factors in booking a hotel for many people is a good location, and one of the most central areas is Puerta del Sol, or Gate of the Sun in English. The square is considered to be the centre (Km 0) of the city’s road network. The area has great connection to the rest of the city, and many sights can be reached on foot as well as by public transport. The square at Puerta del Sol is also where you will find a statue of the city’s most famous symbol, the Bear and Madroo Tree, as well as many other monuments and government buildings.There is a good selection of hotels in the Puerta del Sol area, such as the Hotel Petit Palace Tres Cruces . This hotel provides 3 star accommodation right in the heart of the city. Spread over four floors (with lift/elevator) of a modern building, guest rooms are well equipped with safety deposit box, private bathroom, air conditioning and Wi-Fi internet connection. There is also the 2-star equivalent Hostal Union which lies about 600 metres from Puerta del Sol, right in the heart of the city. The hotel offers basic yet comfortable rooms at excellent rates, and is therefore very good value for money.
