Atletico de Madrid Metropolitano Stadium Tour & Museum Tickets

The Metropolitano Stadium in San Blas-Canillejas

The Metropolitano opened in 2017 in the eastern district of San Blas-Canillejas, on the site of the old La Peineta athletics stadium. With seating for around 70,000 people, a roof that covers every seat and a striking facade, it is among the most impressive football grounds in Spain. In 2019 it hosted the Champions League final, which put the stadium on the world map.

A Metropolitano stadium tour lets you walk through the stands and the areas open to visitors and see how the steep tiers surround the pitch. Most visitors spend between one and two hours, depending on how long they linger in the museum and the photo areas.

The Atlético de Madrid Museum

The museum tells the story of a club founded in 1903 that has become one of the strongest in Europe. Displays include trophies, historic shirts and boots, photographs and films about the great players and coaches who have worn the red and white stripes, from the early years to the modern era under coach Diego Simeone.

Even if you do not follow Atlético, the museum is an easy introduction to Madrid's football culture, where the club is known as the Rojiblancos, and to the rivalry with Real Madrid. Children usually enjoy the interactive parts and the chance to see the size of the trophies up close.

The Pitch-Corner Photo Option

The second option on this page adds access to a corner of the pitch, where you can take a photograph with the stadium rising behind you. It is popular with families and supporters who want a souvenir of the visit, and it is the one place on the route where you get so close to the grass.

Access to the pitch area depends on the stadium schedule and can be restricted on match days or during maintenance. If you are wondering what the difference between the options is, the standard option covers the stadium tour and museum, while the photo option adds the pitch corner, so choose it only if the photograph matters to you.

Getting to the Metropolitano and Planning Your Visit

The stadium is served by its own metro station, Estadio Metropolitano, on line 7, roughly 30 minutes from the city centre, usually with one change. There are also bus connections and taxis, and the signs make the entrance easy to find. Match days are busy, and tours may be limited or unavailable, so check the calendar in the booking panel.

The best time to visit is on a non-match day in the morning, when the site is quiet. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket in cooler months, as the stands can be windy. Opening hours change by season and by fixtures, so choose an available date on this page and keep your mobile voucher ready.
