RM is not just one of the most iconic football clubs in the world. To many of us, it’s a feeling. Real Madrid is a sports entity, which could also be considered as an economic monster. Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Luka Modrić are some of the most important and valuable players at the 2025 team, but the Santiago Bernabeu tour will show you the club’s most iconic history.
In this sense, many of you will have memories from any El Clásico games against Barça, or the recent rivalry between the team and Manchester City, or PSG at Champions League games.
The stadium is home of Real Madrid CF since its opening in 1947, and you should note that Florentino Perez and all the clubs’ members renovated the stadium recently. Its’ capacity stands at an impressive 81,044 seats, making it the second-largest stadium in Spain, behind only the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

How is Cooltourspain’s Santiago Bernabeu tour organized?
Our Santiago Bernabeu tour offers visitors an in-depth and friendly experience of the club’s rich history and achievements. Whether you’re a Real Madrid supporter or a football enthusiast who frequently watches La Liga matches, the guided visit will allow you to get closer to the life of a RM fan. Moreover, the activity will offer insights into the club’s successes.
To start with, you should note that we will meet you at the animal statue, right next to the RM Tour offices (Paseo de la Castellana, 140). The entrance is located one cebra cross away from this spot.
Taking into consideration that the stadium apart from games, also hosts concerts, events, and even political gatherings, you should expect closures at some specific week days and weekends. In order to see an updated calendar, we’d suggest you visit the official website.
Who will lead the experience?
Cooltourspain‘s professional guides will provide insights into the club’s past achievements, important milestones, and behind-the-scenes areas of the stadium. Despite that fact, you should also expect them to tell you the pros & cons about the football team. The Santiago Bernabeu tour might also serve as a critic towards modern sports.
Our guides speak several languages, including Spanish, English, French, German, and others, ensuring that visitors from around the world can understand the information provided. If you’re booking a private guided visit for over 9 people, you should take into account that we will add wireless headsets, so that you could listen to the guide’s details.
Important things to take into consideration before booking the Santiago Bernabeu tour
The Santiago Bernabéu tour runs every day, including holidays, but you should contact us in advance in order to place your reservation, and secure a spot at one of our groups. Private tours might be also hired, and here you have the regular hours in which the stadium is opened to the audience.
- Weekdays: 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Weekends: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM
There is no need to purchase a ticket for the tour, as we will be in charge of that. Whether you’re an adult, or a teenager, you should expect the same price as Real Madrid stadium tour does not offer any kind of discount.
How long does the Bernabeu tour take?
Just for the Santiago Bernabeu tour itself, you should expect that the guided visit takes approximately 90 minutes. The exact amount of time spent on walking at the Real Madrid history museum will depend on aspects such as the number of participants, and the questions that guests ask the guide. FYI, we love those participants who wonder about our explanations.
One of the areas where participants spent the most of the time, is the trophy room. No Real Madrid stadium tour would be complete without a visit to the club’s trophy room, which showcases a collection of La Liga, Champions League, and Copa del Rey trophies, among others.
Please note that in the past, guests also visited the press room, the dressing rooms, and even the pitch. However, this fact changed after the stadium’s remodeling. You should avoid any scams on the internet, with service providers who state that you’ll visit these areas. It’s a lie. As simple as that. (article written on February 2025)
Are you planning to visit Spain soon? What should you do, a Barça or a Real Madrid stadium tour?
This is a very biased question, but here we will provide you with some facts about each team, so that you may choose one or the other. Any case scenario, Barça stadium is currently under construction works, so your best bet would be joining the Santiago Bernabeu tour.
- Real Madrid has won 15 Champion League trophies while Barça 5.
- Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi. Which one was your favourite?
- Camp Nou is the largest stadium in Europe
To avoid crowds, it’s recommended to visit the Santiago Bernabéu early in the morning, as the later hours can get quite busy, especially during peak tourist seasons (summer and holidays). Off-peak months such as November or January tend to be less crowded.

Cooltourspain’s opinion about the Santiago Bernabeu tour
Cooltourspain sees the Santiago Bernabéu tour as a unique opportunity for fans to immerse in the rich legacy of Real Madrid. However, it cannot be substituted by a live match. If you had the chance, please attend a game at the stadium of one of the most successful and historic clubs in the world.
