Plaza Monumental de Toros de las Ventas, also known as Las Ventas, is an iconic bullring in Madrid, Spain.

The impressive Neo-Mudéjar architecture and the sheer size of the arena often impress visitors. Many appreciate the historical and cultural significance, even if they don't agree with bullfighting. The tour typically includes access to the arena, chapel, infirmary, and bullfighting museum. Some visitors find the audio guide informative, helping to understand the controversial sport's history and rituals. However, opinions are divided due to the ethical concerns surrounding bullfighting. Some visitors feel uncomfortable with the subject matter, while others value the educational aspect. The museum section, though small, displays interesting artifacts and memorabilia. The rooftop views of Madrid are often highlighted as a bonus. While not for everyone, those interested in Spanish culture and history generally find the experience worthwhile. Note that live bullfights still occur here seasonally, which some visitors find distressing.
