Discover every nook and cranny of the home to the Real Madrid

It is the stadium of a great football team, the Real Madrid F.C. and it opens its doors to its fans on a daily basis, with the aim of showing them the corners and scenario in which their idols have played out so many great triumphs. The Tour of Santiago Bernabeu also tells the history of the century football club, and allows visitors to be level with the playing field as well as to enjoy all the other angles that are offered by as many seats, including those of the players themselves.

Back when the original field at Chamartín was becoming a little snug, the then president of the Real Madrid F.C., Santiago Bernabéu had the idea of building a new home for his club, and making it one of the best stadiums in Europe. And so was born the new stadium, inaugurated on December 14th in a game against the Portuguese from Os Belenenses. The name of the President has since stuck by its home turf.

This Tour, as envisioned by the Club itself, gets off to a steep start at the highest part of the stadium, which is reached using one among its several panoramic elevators. Not only does a breathtaking view of the field open out before us: the size of the surroundings is also overwhelming. Although the seats are naturally empty during this tour, the visitor can imagine the emotion that has so often filled the bleachers in this stadium city of 80,000 seats. Not for nothing has it been the scenario of major sports events, such as the European Cup Finals in 1957 or the game in which Italy was crown World Champion in 1982. Other events have come here as well, such as the youth meeting with the Pope in 1982 and various concerts by music stars.
