Real Madrid is one of our city’s three professional football teams, together with Atlético de Madrid and Rayo Vallecano. Holder of multiple European and international titles, the club opens its doors 363 days a year for football and sports fans to explore its historic stadium, an absolute must on your trip to Madrid.
The Santiago Bernabeu (named after the legendary Madrid manager, who presided over the club from 1943 to 1978) was inaugurated in 1947 and can now hold over 80,000 spectators. The stadium also has 245 VIP boxes.

The Bernabéu Tour takes visitors around the club’s most iconic spots and shows them the stadium the way the authorities see it, from the Presidential Balcony; from the players' perspective, from the pitch itself, and from the coach’s viewpoint, sitting in the heated ergonomic seats in the bench area. The tour route includes the players’ dressing rooms where few can resist having their photo taken next to their favourite player’s locker.
The Bernabéu Tour explores the history of Real Madrid in the Trophies Exhibition, which houses the club’s trophy collection plus thousands of items that are part of its heritage, including shirts, balls, photographs and documents. In addition to the huge exhibition of paraphernalia, there are interactive screens showing fascinating audio-visual content like the ones in "The Best Club Ever" room and in the "Sensations" room, an exciting way of bringing the team’s history alive.
Redevelopment of the Bernabéu: a stadium fit for the 22nd century
The New Santiago Bernabéu project, headed by the GMP-L35-Ribas group of architects, includes the construction of a large cornice at the main entrance. It will fly over the adjacent square without any ground support, forming a large 2,000m2 entrance leading the way to the new Bernabéu.
Among other features of the redevelopment of the stadium (which is expected to finish in mid-2021) is the construction of a new stand on the east side, which will be slightly higher than the current one, although the stadium’s capacity is expected to remain at about 80,000 people. The venue will also gain a retractable roof which will allow for the pitch to be used regardless of the weather and will help to reduce noise pollution.
