Las Ventas Bullring Tour
Description
Discover the iconic bullring of Madrid with a 1-hour audio-guided experience that takes you through a tradition rooted in Roman Times and shows its transformation over the centuries.
Tour Highlights
Your journey at Las Ventas begins at the designated time, entering through the Puerta Grande, a symbolic gateway where bullfighters aspire to be celebrated by the crowd. Are you ready to uncover the many stories of this legendary bullring?
With a seating capacity for 23,797 spectators, Las Ventas stands as the largest bullring in Spain. Established in 1929 at the historic location known as Las Ventas del Espíritu Santo, it has earned its reputation as the premier bullring worldwide, favored by aficionados, experts, and critics alike.
During the tour, you’ll explore various sections including the terrace, the upper sections, the arena, the passageway, the drag gate, the bull pen entrance, the corridor, the infirmary access, the crew courtyard, and notably, the gift shop, where a wide selection of souvenirs like T-shirts, banderillas, and authentic bullfighting attire awaits.
By stepping into the roles of the three key figures—the audience, the bullfighter, and the bull—you will gain a deeper insight into this passionate spectacle. The tour concludes at the entrance of the museum after an enlightening exploration.
