The Santiago Bernabéu, home of Real Madrid, is one of the most famous football stadiums in the world — and after a huge renovation it’s also one of the most modern, with a wraparound steel skin and a retractable roof. The stadium tour, with its trophy museum and pitch-side views, is one of Madrid’s most popular attractions, even for visitors who aren’t big football fans.

What’s included in the Bernabéu tour
- Panoramic view of the stadium from the top tier.
- The museum and trophy room, with Real Madrid’s European Cups and an interactive history of the club.

- The first-team dressing room, the players’ tunnel and the dugouts at pitch level.

The new Bernabéu
The renovation wrapped the stadium in a shimmering steel skin and added a retractable roof that lets the pitch be used in any weather and reduces noise for neighbours. Capacity is about 80,000 seats, with a new 2,000 m² atrium over the main entrance, new lifts and escalators and 800 new seats for people with disabilities (source).

Tips for the Bernabéu tour
- Go on a weekday morning (9:30–11:00, Monday to Wednesday) for smaller crowds (source).
- Avoid the day before, of and after home matches if you want to see the dressing rooms.
- Choose a flexible ticket if your plans may change.
- Combine with the Salamanca district or the Paseo de la Castellana’s skyscrapers.
See a Real Madrid match
Nothing beats the atmosphere of a match. Tickets go on sale on the official Real Madrid website, typically a couple of weeks before each game; big matches sell out fast. Only buy from official channels or authorised resellers. Atlético de Madrid’s Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium also offers tours — handy if you’re a football fan with two days in the city.
Is the Bernabéu tour worth it?
For football fans, absolutely — it’s one of the best stadium tours in Europe. Non-fans usually enjoy the views and the trophy room too, but if you have limited time in Madrid, the Royal Palace and Prado come first.
