Plaza de Toros

Plaza de Toros de Pamplona – 3/5 Stars ✨ Watching a bullfight at the Plaza de Toros de Pamplona was definitely a powerful and unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was electric—the crowd was loud and passionate, and the noise during the fight was incredible. It was amazing to witness such a deep-rooted cultural tradition and see how skilled and coordinated the people involved were, from the matadors to the banderilleros. However, I couldn’t help but feel conflicted. It was hard to watch how one bull faced so many opponents, with the fight clearly stacked against it. I had expected a more balanced contest, but in reality, it was one against many, and the outcome felt predetermined. While the matadors were clearly experienced and performed with precision, it left me questioning the fairness of the event. In the end, it’s a fascinating tradition, full of history and emotion—but also one that challenges you morally. Worth seeing once, but not an easy experience to process.

Went here for the corrida and absolutely loved the atmosphere, i understand that during busy days of san Fermin keeping the seats of the arena super clean can be tricky .. but the ambience was top notch

Visited during San Fermín 2025. It was extraordinary and one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. If you wish to go there for the bullfight (corrida de toros), have in mind that you can bring alcohol inside (as much as you want 😂) And there are plenty of people selling tickets outside (some are cheaper than the websites)

It's impressive to see the Arena and the whole world behind it! They have done a great job in creating the story that you follow from the entrance, all around the Arena to the stables. There is an audio guide to explain at every station. At the final hall there is an image and video presentation of the bullfighting over the years. Fascinating! Entrance 7€

Interesting history and self guided tour of the Pamplona Bullring. I will say, it made me quite sad to see the event on screens and in pictures. I think it's time this tradition ended. But viewed historically, the visit is enlightening.

Funny and thrilling experience: after the bulls run for 800 meters on Pamplona streets, they arrive to the bullring and are kept inside; then there are little cows to enjoy jumping and dodging them. Sometimes they hit hard.

Opened in 1920, it is a first-class bullring that can accommodate 19,721 spectators. It is not only the venue for traditional Spanish bullfighting but also the place where the Running of the Bulls, or Encierro, ends during the San Fermín Festival. During the San Fermín Festival, performances take place from early in the morning.

Bought tix online in advance. Entrance wasn't obvious, but we found it eventually. Very interesting tour with audio guide on phone. I recommend taking a back up battery if you are out most of the day and include this tour.

Wow what a tour! I am not much for touring sites. It was 6 euros. Just do it. It is fantastic, especially the videos that explain not so much the history of the plaza, but the mood, feeling, and excitement of it.
