Best Plaza De Toros De Las Ventas Tours & Trips
The Plaza Toros Las Ventas is the home of bullfighting in Spain. Built in the Neo-Mudejar style, the structure looks older than it is. The venue, which seats 25,000 spectators, replaced Madrid’s former main bullring in 1929. Las Ventas Bullring is in the Salamanca district of Madrid, northeast of the city center. It hosts the San Isidro fiesta – the world’s most popular bullfighting festival – every year in May and June.

Reviews for Plaza De Toros De Las Ventas Tours
L
From the moment I clicked "book" to the day we arrived in Venice, everything was perfect. The tour covers so much ground—Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy—but never feels rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and our drivers were safe and professional. I particularly appreciated the evening transfers in Madrid and Rome; it saved us from figuring out taxis late at night. The inclusion of breakfasts was a nice bonus, and the hotels were better than expected for the price. A truly high-value vacation.
