Where Is the Santiago Bernabéu? Address, Location & Getting There

Official address

The stadium fills a whole block between the Paseo de la Castellana on the west side and Calle del Padre Damián on the east. Real Madrid’s official address is Avenida de Concha Espina 1, 28036 Madrid, which is the street along the north side of the ground. Type that into a map app and you will land in the right place.

For the stadium tour, head for Gate 84 on Avenida de Concha Espina. This is where the Tour Bernabéu starts. If you walk up from Nuevos Ministerios, follow the Castellana north past the stadium and turn right into Concha Espina at its north-west corner. The club shop and the stadium restaurants have their own doors around the building, and on match days each ticket names its own gate, which is usually a different one.

You can’t miss the building itself. The rebuilt stadium is wrapped in a curved steel facade, and you can see it from well down the Castellana. Nuevos Ministerios station and the AZCA office towers sit about 1 km to the south.

Metro

Line 10 normally stops right at the stadium, at Santiago Bernabéu station. Metro de Madrid closed Line 10 between Nuevos Ministerios and Cuzco on 28 March 2026 to rebuild the station, and the closure is planned to last until the end of 2026. No firm reopening date has been published, so check before you travel early in 2027.

While it is closed, you have two options:

Nuevos Ministerios, then walk. Lines 6, 8 and 10 and the Cercanías commuter trains all stop here. Walk north along the Castellana for about 15 minutes.
The free S10 bus. It runs between Plaza de Castilla and Nuevos Ministerios, stopping beside the stadium, and it is free for metro passengers.

Atlético’s stadium is on a different line altogether: the Riyadh Air Metropolitano has its own station, Estadio Metropolitano, on Line 7. Bus frequencies and the route between the two grounds are in how to get to the Bernabéu and Metropolitano.

From central Madrid

From Puerta del Sol, take a Cercanías train from Sol station north to Nuevos Ministerios. It is a short ride with no change, and the walk to Gate 84 takes about 15 minutes from there. If you are staying near Plaza de España or Tribunal, metro Line 10 still runs south of the closed section, and you can ride it as far as Nuevos Ministerios.

A taxi from the centre takes around 15 minutes outside rush hour, along the Castellana. Ask for “Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Puerta 84, Concha Espina” so the driver drops you at the tour entrance.

From Atocha

Atocha station is on the Cercanías network, and several lines run straight from Atocha to Nuevos Ministerios. That makes it the easiest arrival if you come into Madrid by high-speed train. Check the departure boards for a train calling at Nuevos Ministerios, ride it north and walk up the Castellana to the stadium.

From the airport

Metro Line 8 runs from the airport terminals to Nuevos Ministerios without a change. The metro charges an airport supplement on top of the normal fare. From Terminal 4, a Cercanías train also runs to Nuevos Ministerios. Either way, you finish with the same 15-minute walk or the S10 bus.

If you have luggage, leave it at your hotel first: the Bernabéu has no cloakroom or lockers, and the tour route has many flights of stairs.

Bus and taxi

EMT city buses 14, 27, 40, 43, 120, 126, 147 and 150 stop near the stadium, and the night buses N22 and N24 serve the area too. The S10 replacement bus is the simplest bus option while the metro station is closed.

Taxis and ride-hailing cars can drop you on Concha Espina, close to Gate 84. On match days, the streets around the stadium close to traffic, so ask to be dropped further away or use public transport.

Match-day transport

On match days, the area fills up hours before kick-off. With Santiago Bernabéu station closed, the crowd funnels through Nuevos Ministerios and onto the S10 bus, so allow extra time and expect to walk the last stretch along the Castellana. After the final whistle, the walk south to Nuevos Ministerios is often quicker than queueing for the bus.

If you want the full stadium tour, pick another day. On match days the tour ends five and a half hours before kick-off, and the changing rooms and benches stay closed on match days and the day before. Stadium tours on match days covers both stadiums.

Practical booking notes

The Bernabéu is a working event venue, so the tour route can change around matches, concerts and other events.
For a tour-only visit, a non-match weekday is the most predictable choice.
Match tickets and stadium-tour tickets are sold separately unless a package says otherwise.
Check the entrance shown on your ticket. For the Tour Bernabéu it is Gate 84 on Avenida de Concha Espina.
When you compare the official ticket with resellers, look at what is included, the cancellation terms and the final price, not only the headline price. The Madrid: Tour Bernabéu Entry Ticket starts from $42 and is rated 4.5/5 from more than 26,000 reviews on GetYourGuide.

FAQ

Should I book in advance?

Yes, if the stadium matters to your trip or you need a specific time slot. Tour tickets are sold by time slot, and popular slots sell out.

How long should I allow?

Plan on about 1½ to 2 hours inside, plus the journey and time in the club shop. Match days take much longer once you count arrival and getting away afterwards.

Is a non-match day better?

For the normal tour route, yes. A match day gives you the atmosphere, but the tour closes early and leaves out the changing rooms and benches.

Can routes change?

Yes. The Bernabéu and the Metropolitano are both working venues, so football, concerts and other events can change access.

What should I check before going?

The day before, check your ticket time, the fixture list, the entrance on your ticket and whether Santiago Bernabéu station has reopened.

The Bottom Line

The Bernabéu is on the Castellana in northern Madrid, at Avenida de Concha Espina 1, with the tour entrance at Gate 84. Until the metro station reopens, aim for Nuevos Ministerios and walk 15 minutes north, or take the free S10 bus. Pick a non-match day for the full tour, and check transport the day before, because the station’s reopening date may still move.
