The Santiago Bernabéu has been Real Madrid's home ground since it opened on 14 December 1947, on the Paseo de la Castellana in the Chamartín business district. Extensively remodelled in recent years, it is now wrapped in a façade of steel strips and topped with a retractable roof. The Tour Bernabéu, the club's official visit, is self-guided at your own pace: museum and trophy room, panoramic view of the stadium interior, dressing rooms and dugouts. It is one of the most visited sights in Madrid, open every day except 25 December and 1 January.
Highlights
The new Bernabéu
The transformation replaced the old concrete façade with a steel skin that shimmers in the light and added a retractable roof. The tour tells the story of this makeover, from 1947 to the present day, with an audiovisual show. A surprising detail: the pitch is stored underground in its maintenance area and only comes up to the surface for matches.
The museum and trophy room
The Real Madrid museum, now spread over several floors, presents the club's history and honours: the FIFA trophy for the best club of the 20th century, the 15 European Cups, 9 Intercontinental Cups, 36 Spanish league titles and 20 Copas del Rey, according to the club. One area is dedicated to Real Madrid's women's team.
The panoramic view
From the top of the stands you can take in the whole arena and its new roof at a glance. During the visit, equipment may be set up on the pitch because of the events held in the stadium.
The dressing rooms and dugouts
The route passes through the first-team dressing room and ends pitch-side, on the players' benches. Depending on availability, the press room is also included.
