The Bernabéu tour starts at the highest parts of the stadium, where you will have a panoramic view of the whole stadium. The tour then continues with a walk through the largest collection of objects and trophies of the `Best Club of the 20th Century´.

The Bernabéu Tour will also allow you to access the tunnel and benches, so you will get to feel like a real Real Madrid player. You can then step on the pitch and enjoy the experience from the point of view of the coach or first team player.

The next part of the tour leads you to one of the most important locations for the team: the dressing rooms. This is where players receive their instructions from the coach, and where they prepare their best strategy to show what they are really worth out on the field.

The tour ends in the press room, where you can actually sit in the coach’s chair, the seat from where questions from the media are answered after the match has taken place.
