The Plaza de Toros de Valencia, an iconic 19th-century Neo-Doric bullring, is a significant tourist attraction offering insights into Spanish culture and architecture. Visitors can explore the Bullfighting Museum (Museo Taurino) and accessible areas of the arena, making it suitable for both solo exploration or more in-depth guided tours, which often cover additional historical spaces like the chapel. It is highly accessible, located centrally next to the Estació del Nord and Xàtiva metro, though upper seating tiers might have stairs. The bullring and museum are open year-round, while bullfighting events primarily occur from March to October, especially during Fallas and July Fair. A typical visit duration for the museum and self-guided exploration is 1-2 hours, with approximate costs ranging from €2-€5 for self-guided entry or €8-€12 for guided tours; event ticket prices vary. It's a must-see for its architectural grandeur and historical importance, even for those not interested in bullfighting itself.
