Nestled in the heart of Madrid, the Ventas arena stands as a timeless testament to the rich tradition of bullfighting. Stepping into Las Ventas is like stepping back in time, where the echoes of centuries past reverberate through its grand arches and stone corridors. The arena with it’s iconic circular design abd imposing facade exudes an air of majestic grandeur captivating all who enter.

The building is beautiful but the Bullfighting is barbaric and extremely cruel to the bull. The fans were cheering when the bull finally died and even when the dead body was dragged from the ring. Regarding buying tickets I would advise against going at all. If you want to see the less than horrible parts it is live on TV without the dragging of the bull.

WORTH A VISIT! I don't agree on the idea of bullfighting in general, but I visited here to try and understand the Spanish culture and tradition of it all. I took an audio guided tour and it was fascinating. You get to see why this is the most important bullfighting arena in the world and the art and history behind it. Even if you take pictures from the outside, it's an impressive building. Please note: do not join the long line for tickets if you're only going for a tour - just go directly to the entrance with the purple signs and they let you in.

I was there for a school project on the history of bullfighting in Spain, trying to understand how it started and its meaning in the culture. The audio guide explains a little about the arena. The museum at the back entrance is free and photos are not allowed inside, you can see some sculptures and clothes of the ancient bullfighters, also the heads of some bulls that survived. If you like Goya, they have a room with some of his paintings.
