Itinerary
Bullfighting Museum
Admission included
Welcome to Las Ventas Bullring, considered the Bullfighting Cathedral. The most important bullring in the world. The one which gives everything and takes everything away. The biggest reward for those who manage to leave through its Puerta Grande and a challenge for those who hardly think about it. Las Ventas Bullring was built in 1929 on the land called Las Ventas del Espíritu Santo, to which it owes its name. It is the largest bullring in Spain, with a total area of 45,800 square meters and capacity for 23,797 people.
The Bullfighting Museum of Madrid is located in the Patio de Caballos in an emblematic section of the building and with a collection that offers a clear and harmonious vision of the history of bullfighting in Spain. Among its works are engravings of the bullfighting of Goya, dressed as bullfighters of the twentieth century, a section dedicated exclusively to Manolete and a huge sample of the testimonies of Las Ventas.

Phenomenal, visiting the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid
This is an alternative to enjoy comfortably and without crowds and learn about bullfighting life. The tour takes you step by step with a friendly, technological system with a phone with explanatory recordings of each of the points. The plaza is, just as it is fun to try bullfighting with a video game, I highly recommend it and I congratulate the facilities and the opportunity for photographs.
A must-visit and easily accessible by the metro station, Ventas or by bus.

Disappointed
Very disappointed, bought a ticket for a tour of the bull ring and museum only to turn up and find out that the bull ring was closed for a private event. So we could only visit the museum which only took 10 minutes to walk through. If they knew this was the case they shouldn’t have allowed ppl to buy tickets and marked it unavailable. We spent a fortune to get there. However we did get a refund no problem I just wish they had said it was closed from the beginning.

A somewhat wasted visit
The visit is just okay. There are very interesting areas of the plaza that are not on the itinerary (bullfighter tiles, some murals, the chapel is seen from the outside). The staff is very attentive and friendly. The photo they offer to take for you, I understand it's with foreigners in mind, but I don't see it for a plaza of that caliber. The souvenir shop is a bit sparse; I expected something else.

Clara’s Marvelous Tour Experience
Clara was the greatest guide ever. She took us around and answered all our questions and my entire basketball team and I had a phenomenal time and laughed a lot. We learned so much and she was truly incredibly kind.

Horrible.
Beautiful arena both inside and out. Lots of booze available inside but no food. Bullfight really so animal unfriendly, you can see that the bulls are trained to respond to the red patch on command, only difference is that they are not injured and killed during training and now they are. Disrespectfully they are pulled out of the arena by 3 horses. After 3 same kind of rounds I left after that 3 more rounds follow so in total 6 bulls are killed. Nice to see the arena inside but never fight again

Big disappointment.
This was a real disappointment. First of all; I was walking right on a construction site. Everything apparently still needs to be sorted out quickly for the new season. Secondly; there was a huge tent in the middle square. Of course, this helps visibility all the way to the moon. I understand that things need to be freshened up and that there are events, but then just exclude the arena and with that. Thirdly; a (beautiful) museum where you can’t take pictures that doesn’t make sense. Las Ventas isn't the Prado, is it? Went home very disappointed.
