Metropolitano Guided Tours

The standard Metropolitano ticket already goes deep behind the scenes. What the guided tour adds is a person from the club: someone who tells you what happens in the dressing room before a derby, why the benches sit where they do, and what Diego Simeone’s press conferences look like from the front row. Atlético sells it as a separate experience, and it is a different intent from simple admission.

What the guided tour covers

The Atlético de Madrid guided stadium tour with museum entry is run by Atleti Tour & Museum itself, with official guides in Spanish and English. It starts from $37 per person and holds a 4.7 rating from 137 reviews.

Your guide takes the group into the first-team dressing room, down the players’ tunnel to the pitch side and onto the benches. You then visit the press room and the presidential box. The guided section is listed at an hour and a half.

When it ends, you move into the interactive museum on your own. It covers the club from its founding in 1903 to today with touchscreens, virtual reality glasses, projectors and games. Allow around another hour.

Guided or standard?

The rooms are the same on both. The standard Tour & Museum ticket costs $8 less and lets you walk at your own pace, with an optional audio guide. Book the guided tour if you want:

• stories and anecdotes rather than signage,
• the chance to ask questions (reviewers say guides answer every one),
• a set structure, which helps with children or a group.

Choose the standard ticket if you prefer to take your time over photos, or if you’re short on time and want to move quickly.

The premium option

For something more exclusive, the Premium Tour with breakfast in Simeone’s box starts an hour before the stadium opens to the public, so your small group has the building to itself. After the guided route you go up to the coach’s private box for coffee and pastries. It starts from $86 per person and has only a handful of reviews so far.

Before you go

Atlético is explicit that the tour may be suspended or modified without notice for sporting or organisational reasons, with the option to exchange tickets for another day. Match weekends are the most likely to be affected; see stadium tours on match days. Arrive a few minutes before your slot, because tours start on time. Take Metro Line 7 to Estadio Metropolitano.
