AC Sparta Praha Letná Stadium Guided Tour Prague

AC Sparta Praha and the epet ARENA

AC Sparta Praha is one of the oldest football clubs in the Czech Republic, founded in the 1890s, and it has won many domestic championships. Its stadium in Letná, opened in 1917 and rebuilt over the years, is now the epet ARENA. The tour is a good answer for anyone searching for a Sparta Prague stadium tour outside match day.

The club's fierce rivalry with Slavia, known as the Prague derby, is a big part of the story, and your guide explains how the two clubs shaped Czech football. Even if you do not follow the league, the history gives context to the pitch and stands you walk through.

Behind the scenes: press centre and dressing room

You meet the guide at the VIP entrance and go through areas that fans normally never see. In the press centre you can sit at the counter used by the coach after matches and imagine facing the questions. The tour also takes you to the first-team dressing room, where the players prepare for big games and where the atmosphere is easy to feel even when the room is empty.

These are the details that make this an epet ARENA tour and not just a look at the stands. The guide points out the small rituals and stories of matchdays, and there is time to ask questions about players, transfers and traditions.

The tunnel and the pitch

The highlight for most guests is the walk through the tunnel and out onto the pitch, the same way the players do before each match. From pitch level the stands rise around you and you get a real sense of the size of the ground. Photos here are a favourite, so keep your phone ready.

You also see the stadium from the press seats, which gives a very different view from the fan stands. The pitch itself is protected, so listen to your guide about where you may walk and touch.

Planning your visit: Letná and getting there

The stadium is in Letná, on the plateau above the Vltava river in Prague 7. The trams to the Sparta and Letenské náměstí stops are close, and the area is a short ride from the Old Town. Beside the stadium, Letná Park has wide views over the river towards the Old Town and the famous metronome, so it is easy to add a walk before or after the tour.

The tour lasts about one hour and ends with an optional stop at the fan shop, which sells original club merchandise. Pets, weapons and sharp objects are not allowed on the tour. Check the booking panel for the dates and starting times that are available.
