A visit to Atlético de Madrid’s Metropolitano takes about 2 hours, one on the stadium tour and one in the club museum, and the club recommends doing the tour first because each ticket allows a single entry. It opens every day from 11am, weekends included, with the last tour entry at 5pm in winter and 6pm in summer. Anyone heading to or from the airport can leave a suitcase in the cloakroom, which the club makes compulsory for luggage. Estadio Metropolitano station on Metro line 7 is about 220 metres from the entrance by the Atlético de Madrid Store.
The Atleti Tour & Museum is Atlético de Madrid’s visit to its Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium, always sold together with the club museum.
How much is the Atletico Madrid stadium tour? The Atlético de Madrid stadium tour costs €25 online for the self-guided visit with the museum, about 2 hours in total. The guided tour is €32, the corner-flag photo €38, and the Premium or kick-off experience €75. Children aged 4 to 13 pay €18. The ticket desk charges more, and tickets cannot be refunded.
Bernabeu or Metropolitano if you only do one
| Tour | Guided | Self-guided | Museum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bernabéu, Real Madrid | €56 | €37 | Included |
| Metropolitano, Atlético | €32 | €25 | Included |
The Metropolitano is €12 cheaper on the basic ticket and €24 on the guided one, and the route is the one players walk on match day: circular dressing room, mixed zone, tunnel, benches, press room and presidential box.
Pick the Bernabéu if the club name is the point of the trip; its rules and match-day closures are in the Bernabeu stadium tour. If you would rather watch a game than walk an empty stadium, see how to get Real Madrid tickets.
Which Metropolitano ticket is worth the upgrade
Most visitors need nothing above the €25 ticket, which already covers every room on the route. Each upgrade buys one extra, according to Atlético de Madrid:
- You want a story, not just rooms. The €32 guided tour adds an official club guide and a lanyard pass. The €5 English audio guide on the €25 ticket is the cheaper way to get the commentary.
- You want a photo at pitch level. The €38 corner ticket lets you shoot from the corner-flag line and adds a souvenir, but you cannot step on the grass.
- You want to touch the pitch. The €75 kick-off experience puts you in the centre circle; bring trainers, because studs and heels are not allowed.
- You want the stadium empty. The €75 Premium gets you in an hour before the 11am opening, in a small group, with breakfast in Simeone’s private box. Tell the club about allergies when booking.
Children aged 4 to 13 pay less at every level (€18 on the basic ticket) and under-4s go free. The “from €11” banner on the club site is the members’ rate, not the public price. The family code ATLETI FAMILIA takes 20% off children’s tickets while the promotion runs.
Match weekends, summer and Christmas
The club warns that bookings on a home match weekend can be moved because of the kick-off time or first-team training, and the usual last-entry rule does not apply on match days. If your dates are flexible, book Monday to Friday.
From the end of the league season until a week before the first home match the pitch has no grass and some areas close, although the museum always opens. From 14 December to 14 January an ice rink around the middle tier affects the view of the stands. Opening hours are 11am to 7pm from 13 October to 29 March and 11am to 8pm from 30 March to 12 October. An 11am slot is done by about 1pm, before Spanish lunch starts.
Getting there with a suitcase or from the city centre
The Metropolitano works well on the day of your flight. Suitcases are not allowed on the route and must go in the museum cloakroom, which keeps tour hours, so you can keep the bag with you from hotel checkout to your flight.
By Metro, get off at Estadio Metropolitano on line 7 and walk about 220 metres to the entrance on the stadium’s shopping promenade, at Paseo de los Colchoneros 11. A single ticket costs €1.50 to €2.00 depending on the number of stations, as covered in Madrid Metro ticket prices. Riding the Metro from an airport station adds a €3 supplement to a single, which the airport Metro supplement explains, and the Tourist Travel Pass already includes it, as Madrid’s Tourist Travel Pass shows. Drivers get the west car park free except on match days.
What to know before you book
The ticket desk charges more than the online price, according to Atlético de Madrid, so buy online. Three rules follow: no refunds, a €5 fee per ticket to change the date with 24 hours’ notice, and arrival about 10 minutes before your slot. Buggies are allowed but there are flights of stairs, and photos are fine everywhere. Families can plan the rest of the day with Madrid with kids.
