What does the Bernabéu Tour include?
The classic tour at the rebuilt Santiago Bernabéu covers the club museum and its trophy rooms, a panoramic view of the stadium from the upper levels, and, on normal days, the changing rooms and the dugouts. The press room is included when available. The retractable pitch is kept underground in its maintenance area except for matches, so you will usually see the stadium bowl without grass. The route has many stairs.
The flexible-time ticket lets you arrive any time on your chosen date instead of in a fixed slot. The guided option adds a guide, and the RM Games ticket adds interactive games in the stadium.
What does the Metropolitano tour include?
The Atleti Tour & Museum combines a stadium tour of about an hour with the club’s interactive museum, also about an hour. Families get a free 10-question scavenger hunt for children with a small prize. The last entry to the stadium tour is two hours before the museum closes, except on match and event days. Tickets are non-refundable; changing the date costs €5 per ticket at reception.
What changes on match days?
Match days are the main thing to plan around at both stadiums.
- Bernabéu: on match days the tour runs only until 5 hours and 30 minutes before kickoff, and the changing rooms and dugouts are closed on the match day and the day before. The club also announces shortened days for other events, for example 09:00 to 15:30 on several dates in November 2026.
- Metropolitano: bookings on match weekends can change because of the kickoff time or first-team training, and the club can change or cancel a tour for sporting or organizational reasons. Tickets can then be used on another date.
La Liga often confirms exact kickoff times only one to three weeks ahead, so a tour booked far in advance on a weekend can be cut short. A weekday without a Champions League match is the safest choice for the full route.
How do you get there?
The Bernabéu is on the Paseo de la Castellana, right above Santiago Bernabéu Metro station on line 10, one change from Sol. Several EMT bus lines run along the Castellana.
The Metropolitano is in the San Blas-Canillejas district on the eastern edge of the city. Estadio Metropolitano station on line 7 is next to the stadium; allow 35 to 45 minutes from the center. On match days Metro de Madrid usually adds trains, but expect queues at the station after the final whistle. Fares and passes are explained in our guide to the public transport card in Madrid. For a late return after an evening match, our comparison of taxi, Uber and Cabify in Madrid covers prices and pick-up points.
The Bernabéu is a short Metro ride from the art museums on the Paseo del Prado; their free slots are listed in our guide to free museum hours in Madrid.
How do you buy match tickets safely?
Buy match tickets only from the club’s own channels: the official Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid websites and apps, and the stadium ticket offices. Members get priority, so general-sale tickets for the biggest matches can be scarce.
- Check the date and kickoff time on the club’s site, not on a resale page.
- Buy from the club’s site or app, and make sure the web address is the club’s own domain.
- Expect a digital ticket in the club’s app or by email from the club.
- Avoid tickets offered on social media, in messaging groups or by people outside the stadium.
Fake and resold tickets are a common problem at big Madrid matches. Club terms usually forbid unauthorised resale, and a ticket bought that way can be cancelled or refused at the gate with no refund. If you are scammed, report it to the Policía Nacional.
Bottom line
If you only have time for one, pick by the club you follow, not by price: both visits take two to three hours including the museum. To see the Bernabéu changing rooms, avoid the day of a home match and the day before, which in a busy month can rule out more days than you expect.
