Real Madrid's stadium is one of the most important in the world. It would take too long to list all the historic milestones that have taken place on its pitch. Throughout its long history, the Merengue club has been covered in glory and thousands of football fans flock here to see the 15 European Cups. However, there is much more to see on the Santiago Bernabéu stadium tour. Depending on availability and the time of year, you may be able to see:

The legendary Merengue stadium is located a few metres from Paseo de la Castellana, one of the longest streets in the city. Located in an office district – Hispanoamérica, part of the Chamartín district – it has a transport network that guarantees quick connections to both the city centre and Barajas Airport.

If a tour of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium is on your list of things to do in Madrid, you can choose from the following options to get there:

• Metro – The Santiago Bernabéu stop (line 10) is a short distance from the stadium. If you are staying near Puerta del Sol, you can take line 1 towards Pinar de Chamartín, get off at Tribunal and take line 10. The journey takes about half an hour. If you are arriving directly from the airport, you have two options: if you land at Terminal 4, you can take the Cercanías (C1 or C10) to Chamartín and, once there, take line 10 to the Santiago Bernabéu stop. If you land at Terminals 1, 2 or 3, you can reach the stadium on metro line 8.
• Bus – Bus lines 14, 27, 40, 43, 120, 126, 147 and 150 connect various points in the capital with the stadium.
• Train – Nuevos Ministerios station is about a ten-minute walk from the Santiago Bernabéu.
• Car – If you have a hire car, simply enter the stadium's address into your satnav. Once you arrive, you will need to leave your vehicle in a pay car park. However, this is not the most convenient option. During matches, many streets are closed to traffic.

If you fancy a bite to eat after the tour, bear in mind that the Santiago Bernabéu is located in the heart of the financial district. The neighbourhood is home to the headquarters of major companies, shopping centres, residential areas and one of the city's most important transport hubs: Nuevos Ministerios. So there's no shortage of places to eat.
