About
CAMPO PEQUENO Campo Pequeno is one of the most iconic monuments of the city of Lisbon and of Portugal. Considered one the most important buildings of Neo-Arabic style in the country, it was designed by Architect José Dias da Silva and ranks among the most beautiful bullrings in the world, having opened its doors on the 18th of August 1892. The monument is classified as a building of Public Interest. The history of Campo Pequeno's Bullring crosses paths with the history of Tauromachy. The building underwent deep restoration works, between 2000 and 2006, under the responsibility of Architect José Bruschy, becoming a major and modern multi-purpose space, able to accommodate, besides bullfights, a vast array of other events. It was also complemented with a commercial galleria, cinemas, restaurants and parking area. Schedule: Shopping Centre: every day from 10am to 11pm. Closed on Christmas day and on New Year. Parking Area: open 24H.
Duration: 2-3 hours

    We stayed in a hotel close to the "Entrecampos Station" on the tour and came within walking distance of the hotel for dinner. Shopping mall in the basement and a "bullring" with restaurants around the building above ground. The Phantom of the Opera sign was hanging on my visit. The site states: "Campo Pequeno Shopping Centre consists of 80 shops, eight cinemas, 20 restaurants and a supermarket spread over a commercial area of 7,000 square metres." This is said to be the Google translation. The escalator descending to the underground mall was like a conveyor with no steps and just a slope (this may be safer for strollers). Other than the food court, the restaurant specialties were on the ground floor and lined up around the building. The family dined at one of these Italian restaurants, Dieci Pizzeria.

    We attended the opening night of bull fighting on a whim after our taxi driver told us about it. After the first sword was put into the first bull, I was pretty much done! But I am glad to see how the whole show is conducted, the "to be seen" on many peoples minds as to why they attended. It was quite unique.

    For those of you who already know Lisbon and want to visit small curiosities of the city because you know the essentials, this is a visit that has a certain interest because it marks that historical relationship and cultural identity that brings us closer to the Portuguese and that makes clear the common origin that we have. . The bullring is aesthetically a little reminiscent of Las Ventas in Madrid with that exposed brick and its dimensions. But it has that curious roof crowned by double domes that are somewhat reminiscent of the domes of Turkish mosques and that even have a half-moon. A sought-after effect that gives it a different touch Named Campo Pequeno Bullring and located on Avenida da República, it was built in 1892 by the Portuguese architect António José Dias da Silva. Although I have tried to find out if bullfights are still held, something that is not very clear to me, I have read that bullfighting art has its days numbered in Portugal and above all the square is used for events and concerts. I thought it was an interesting building and if you walk around the area a little further away it is good to visit it.

    Curious place, has a hint of nostalgia, I am not a supporter of bullfighting but architecturally it is curious as it has a large dome and many commercial premises. Worth knowing. We also took advantage of touring that neighborhood that is totally different from what is shown in Lisbon.

    The small field is a glamorous area, close to everything. What most loved me forwm qs bakeries and cafes. You do not have to pay for breakfast at the hotel, which is usually expensive. We went to each sia in a cafeteria or bakery and had were exceptional.

The appropriate outfit for a concert at Campo Pequeno is a white sauna towel around the waist. There is a serious air conditioning problem in this room and the limited space between chairs doesn't help. As good as the concert is, it makes you think twice. It will be nothing new for the space manager as it is enough to observe the most cautious fans in operation.

I spent a day at the venue, used the parking lot. When making the payment with my card, you made a mistake and was asked to try again, however, it was charged twice. Mandei emai charging on 19/09/2024, asked for my IBAN for chargeback, but so far nothing. Worse than not responding to the email and not passing a forecast. Sorry.

I came to the small countryside for the first time to see the Phantom of the Opera. The show itself is wonderful, however, the experience as a spectator was not the best. Chair very uncomfortable, space between queues does not exist (the people in the back queue knock with their knees on the back of the people in front), too much heat, image that passed on the side screens of support without any quality. In addition, the visibility was terrible. Of course I'm only talking about the place where I stayed, which should have been marked as low visibility, given that much of the stage was lost.

The Moorish building is one of Lisbon's attractions, and rightly so. Inside, there is an arena which, sadly, is used for bullfighting. Sometimes to host a music show. As happened with Woody Allen and band. 130 Euros for a couple to attend the wonderful musicians' concert. But please, the comfortable conditions for receiving spectators are deplorable. Difficult access for the disabled and elderly. The "seats" are a disgrace. Small and uncomfortable. Artists like Allen should not expose themselves to an auditorium like Campo Pequeno. Bad facilities, we repeat.

Campo Pequeno is a bullfighting arena in Lisbon. It is located in Campo Pequeno Square, on Avenida da Republica. After a thorough modernization, the facility was reopened in 2006 as a venue for various cultural events and concerts in addition to bullfighting. Campo Pequeno has restaurants and an underground shopping center with parking. Campo Pequeno was built between 1890 and 1892 under the supervision of the Portuguese architect Antonio Jose Dias da Silva.
Amazing architecture.

For the first time and with a pretty high expectation, we went to Campo Pequeno to see the Phantom of the Opera. A disappointment! The show was wonderful but the comfort of the room and visibility was bad, which did not allow us to fully enjoy the show.
We're in square B, line T, places 42 and 44. We paid 70 euros for each ticket.
In the end, it took us a long time to get out of the underground parking lot.
The Phantom of the Opera deserved better!
We're not going back to Little Camp.

The bull fighting palace is beautiful on the outside. Inside it is used for different events beside bull fights. Went to a chocolate festival there last year. Movie theater underground.

Lovely architecture and many options for food (if you go after noon). At ten in the morning, everything was closed but it was fun to explore the building. So much rich history and easy access to the city from the subway.

If you ar in Lisbon on a Thursday night, you must go see the tourada at Campo Pequeno. This is not for tourists – the crowd is full of multi-generational Portuguese families. Read up on the tourada online before going so you can follow the action. The tourada is full of Portuguese tradition – traditional costumes and music, excellent horsemanship and the craziness of the bull-grabbers. Bulls are not killed in the ring, but they do bleed. A memorable evening!

All seats in the arena are excellent, so don’t spend the money on the expensive ones.

The building itself is very nice to see, however the "sport" on offer is horrific.
We were very naive when we went to see a bullfight here. We had been told the bulls are not killed, as in Spain, and were expecting some flashing of the matadors' cape and a bit of a spectacle. However, the bulls are tormented with a man on a horse stabbing colourful barbs into their backs. I couldn't see the sport in it as the bulls horns were shaved down, and the man was safe up on his horse. Only animals seemed at risk.
We left after the first "fight" in horror.
I appreciate the historic culture, and should have done more research. If so, I would have NEVER paid to support such an archaic and barbaric event. Be warned.
