Plaza Mayor, the main square of Madrid, boasts a fascinating history that dates back to the late 16th century when it was named Plaza del Arrabal, hosting the city’s most popular market. Today, it is a top tourist attraction with a lot to offer. One of the highlights of the plaza is the equestrian statue of King Philip III, located in the centre. Sculpted by Giambologna and finished by Pietro Tacca in 1616, it originally stood at the entrance to Casa de Campo Park before Queen Isabella II had it moved to the Plaza Mayor in 1848. The plaza's most striking building is the Casa de la Panadería, the first to be established in 1590, which was initially the most important bakery in Madrid. Today, it houses the Plaza Mayor Tourist Information Centre and the Tienda Casa de la Panadería, a shop selling souvenirs of Madrid made by local artisans. Another popular spot is El Arco de Cuchilleros, the most famous of the nine entrances to Plaza Mayor. Plaza Mayor is also an excellent place to enjoy a coffee or grab a bite, people-watch, and soak up the city’s rich history. Throughout the year, there are various events, including the drum parade at Easter, outdoor concerts, and the Christmas market in December, so be sure to check the calendar when you're visiting.

What could be more romantic than travelling through the snowy landscapes on a horse-drawn sleigh? Five coaching families organise these excursions. This is a great way to get about and take in the stunning scenery, and can be fun for all the family. Rides can vary from one hour to three hours and are priced accordingly.

Klosters is also very well known for its tobogganing - an activity for children and adults alike - and local legend has it that tobogganing was invented here. The four toboggan runs available (Gotschna, Madrisa, Alpenrosli, Aeuja) are free of charge - you just have to pay for toboggan rentals. With its four toboggan runs, Klosters offers fun for the whole family. You can opt for individual rides on the mountain trains, half day or full day rides.
