Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas

Inaugurada el 17 de junio de 1931, de estilo neomúdejar, se la conoce como ´Las Ventas del Espíritu Santo'. Fue una idea del torero José Gómez Ortega "Gallito" que le encargó a su amigo arquitecto José Espeliú el proyecto de una plaza Monumental en Madrid.

Marianne Petty

The tour is interesting and good value for money , includes the audio guide. Not sure I'd want to go to an actual bull fight . They take place every Sunday.

Veenasya Sidhu

Amazing experience! they have 6-7 sets of bullfighting lined up. if you can't stand the sun, get seats in the shaded section. be warned, they will not let you into the arena if a set has already begun

RAKAN

Beautiful building with so much history. Different events are held here through out the year.

Leo W

Important notes : if you need to go to restroom between fights , you have to come pack before the next fight begins or they would lock you outside till the next break, which is around 30 mins.

Angelika

If you want to get to know more about bullfighting , this is the place to visit. The tour explains everything in detail.

Don Deedo

This bullring was designed by the architect José Espeliú in the Neo-Mudéjar (Moorish) style with ceramic incrustations. The seats are situated in ten "tendidos".

Emircan Eryılmaz

During your visit to Madrid, you should see the most important bullring of the world.

Leo W

During my visit , 4 out of 6 bulls went thru a slower death than plotted because the toreros fail to stab the sword into the bull hearts, took several blows to put it to an end. Poor animals.

Dan E

Sit in the shade, rent the cushions , and buy drinks from the vendors who climb the aisles.

Katherine S.

When Bullfights are off-season catch a tour inside the arena . The tour guide offers many interesting historic facts.

Jessica Topete

Unique plaza the Toros. You must visit if you are in Madrid

Ezgi Yurtseven

You gonna witness a systematic torture. There must be no excuse for tormenting, torturing and violently killing animals.

Romashka Custistaya

No doubts this show is interesting, but Better to forbid it. Pay attention to sunny side of arena , tickets are cheaper there

Julio D

Excellent choice for getting an idea of this ancestral tradition

Ioannis Papapetrou

Beautiful plaza near the arena and metro station ..

Don Deedo

Sony Xperia™ Football

Discover another part of the Spanish culture, feast your eyes on the stadium , fancy a tour ?

Julio Mangas

Nice place to visit in mAdrid

Mehmet BOYLU

Better to come when show begins.

Scott Caldwell

Before you go, read Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon, his treatise on bull fighting . Helps you appreciate the sport and its artistry even more.

Damian Davila

Get there by metro. Ventas stop on red line .

It was not that bad.

Don´t do it. Just don't. It´s terrible!

Lugar al q acudir al menos una vez en la vida, si es para ver un buen cartel mejor que mejor y sobretodo disfruten sí acuden a un festejo de los de "no hay billetes" impresiona verla al completo!!!

♔♡ Sweet Princess ♡♔

Por algo es la mejor plaza de toros del mundo. Visita indispensable en #SanIsidro. Arte , pasión, belleza y emoción a partes iguales. Sólo queda decir, suerte maestro , Dios le acompañe!!!

Rodrigo Vaz

Como a idéia é avaliar o local,não meu gosto pessoal,digo que as instalações apesar de antigas,são boas. Fácil de entrar e sair. Muito pessoal trabalhando pra te informar. Só tem muitos fumantes.

Angela

Super recomendable la visita guiada, en inglés y español. El museo abre por semana hasta las 2 y es entrada gratuita .

Mesut Sancak

Gösteri sonrası kumdan zemine girme fırsatı bulduk, hala kanlar sahadaydı, biran kendimi Spartacus filminin bir sahnesinde hissettim, görülmesi gereken bir yer

Ana Lages

Mesmo para quem não gosta de touradas é uma visita interessante, pois a arquitetura árabe é belíssima.

Antonio Alvarez Gomez

Durante la temporada de invierno se convierte en el "Gran Teatro Caser Ruedo Las Ventas", una iniciativa que espero se extienda para todo el año. LA TORTURA NO ES CULTURA.

Yahnny Lv

Стоит посетить хотя бы ради того, чтобы иметь собственное мнение о корриде . Перед походом желательно ознакомиться с правилами, зрелище сразу станет интереснее и понятнее.

Elsa De Otro

Estuve de concierto en otoño . Ya hacia fresquito. Asientos incómodos llevad un cojín para el culete. Y abrigados. Buena acústica para conciertos !

Ricardo Garcia Toribio

La plaza de toros más bonita y importante del mundo!
