Book Your Pamplona City Center Travel Package

What’s Included in Our City Center San Fermin Travel Packages?

The most important feature of these packages is the central location, placing you within walking distance of most events. Beyond location, our packages are designed to provide excellent accommodations and coordinated access to must-see San Fermín events.

Each City Center package includes lodging in Old Town Pamplona along with key festival experiences and exclusive Running of the Bulls events. These curated packages are designed to include everything you need during your stay.

San Fermín Festival Experiences

Your stay includes direct access to the most important traditions and events of San Fermín, including the daily Running of the Bulls and celebrations throughout Old Town.

Guests can participate in as much or as little of the festival as they choose, with the option to add more experiences. Staying in the city center allows you to step directly into the celebration.

For travelers comparing Pamplona packages, these are ideal for those who want to stay in the middle of the action.

Running of the Bulls Balconies

Unless they’re running, most travelers prefer to view the Encierro from a balcony above the crowds. Balconies provide a safe and exciting way to watch the bull runs from various points along the route.

We recommend watching at least one run before deciding to participate. Balcony experiences can also be upgraded for a more premium viewing option, and upgraded Gran Hotel La Perla packages can include a bull run balcony in your hotel room.

Exclusive Experiences & Dining

San Fermín extends well beyond the morning run. Packages include exclusive events like our Founder’s Dinner, a Cuadrilla-style Navarran dinner with wine, kicked-off by live music and flamenco dancing. Guests then enjoy the nightly fireworks competition from a private rooftop party.

These experiences allow our guests to immerse themselves in the culture, food, and atmosphere that make San Fermín so special.

Transportation & On-Site Coordination

Because of the central location, most events are within walking distance, making additional transportation unnecessary.

Running of the Bulls also maintains a concierge desk in the lobby of Hotel Maisonnave to assist with apparel, bullfight tickets, and daily coordination. If you stay at La Perla, our Pamplona team will be on call to help with your every need.

At both of these hotels, a Running of the Bulls™ guide will meet you in the lobby each morning to escort you to the bull run.

Pamplona Tours

A key part of our Running of the Bulls™ travel packages is access to informative Pamplona tours. The Bull Route Tour is included and allows guests to walk the route while learning safety tips and history from expert guide Dennis Clancey and his team.

Additional city tours and exclusive experiences are available as add-ons.

How Do Pamplona Tours Enhance Your Experience?

Time in Pamplona moves quickly, and many guests want to make the most of their stay. Tours help you explore the city and the bull run route in a structured and informative way.

For guests planning to run, bull run tours are especially valuable, offering guidance on safety and positioning. For non-runners, the tour provides important cultural and historical context.

Optional city tours allow guests to explore Pamplona at a relaxed pace with a knowledgeable guide.
