The Tour Bernabéu takes visitors inside the Santiago Bernabéu to see the 15 Champions League trophies in person — the largest haul of any club in the competition's history — alongside the stadium's recent transformation into what Real Madrid calls the Bernabéu of the 21st century.
What it is
The self-guided Classic tour covers the Real Madrid Museum, its trophy rooms and audiovisual exhibits, a panoramic view of the pitch, and finishes at the official club shop. On non-matchday, non-weekend dates, a Flexible ticket lets visitors turn up any time within opening hours rather than booking a fixed slot. A Premium guided option is also available, capped at small groups with an official Real Madrid guide. The full visit typically takes 45 to 90 minutes self-guided, longer with a guide.
Why it's worth attending
It's reportedly Madrid's second most-visited museum after the Prado, and the trophy room alone — 15 Champions League cups, 9 Intercontinental/Club World Cup titles, dozens of domestic honours — is a genuine draw for football fans regardless of allegiance. The stadium's redevelopment, with its retractable roof and 360-degree video board, adds a contemporary layer that older stadium tours elsewhere in Europe don't have. The honest caveat: on matchdays and the day before, the tour is significantly reduced — changing rooms and pitch-side areas close, leaving only the museum and panoramic view — so it's worth checking the fixture list before booking if the dressing rooms matter to you.

On matchdays, the tour runs only until 5 hours 30 minutes before kick-off, and from the day before a match at midday until the stadium reopens, only the museum and panoramic view are accessible — changing rooms and dugouts stay closed.

FAQ
Will I still see the changing rooms if I visit the day before a match?
No. From midday the day before a match until the stadium reopens, only the museum and panoramic view are open; changing rooms and dugouts are closed.
What's the difference between the Classic and Flexible tickets?
Classic books a fixed date and time slot. Flexible lets you arrive any time within opening hours on your chosen date, but isn't sold for weekends, public holidays or matchdays.
Is the tour accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?
Most areas are wheelchair-accessible thanks to lifts added during the renovation, though some sections of the historic stands still involve stairs.
How long should I budget for the visit?
Self-guided visits typically take 45 to 90 minutes, though there's no fixed time limit once inside — you can stay as long as you like in the museum or shop.
Can I buy tickets on the day at the stadium?
Yes, though queues can run over 45 minutes and popular time slots often sell out online first, so booking ahead is recommended.
