Is the Atletico de Madrid stadium tour worth it?
The Civitas Metropolitano sits on the eastern edge of Madrid, Atlético de Madrid's home since 2017 and the calmer, cheaper half of the city's football story. The self-guided tour walks the stands, the pitch-side, the dressing room and the players' tunnel before ending in a club museum stocked with Europa League and La Liga trophies. This guide covers what the $29 ticket includes, who it suits, and whether it is worth booking over, or alongside, the Bernabéu.

Is the Atlético Madrid Stadium Tour Worth It?
A single ticket, and an easy call for the right person. The $29 stadium and museum entry is a self-guided walk through the Metropolitano, taking in the stands, the pitch-side and the dressing room, and ending in a museum stocked with the club's cups and kits.
It suits Atlético fans above all, and anyone who wants a stadium tour without the Bernabéu's crowds and higher price, since this is comfortably the calmer and cheaper of the two grounds to visit.
What it does not offer is a guide or the silverware of a bigger club; this is the people's team, and the museum is proud rather than glittering. If you support neither Madrid club, one stadium is plenty, and the homepage lays out where this sits among the museums and attractions in Madrid.

One ticket to book, the self-guided walk through the stadium and into the club museum.
from $29 Atlético de Madrid Stadium & Museum Entry
- Metropolitano stadium route
- Club museum included
- Quieter than the Bernabéu
What You'll See
The self-guided route runs through the stands and down to the pitch-side, past the dressing room and the players' tunnel, before climbing back up for a view across the whole bowl from the top tier. Interactive displays along the way trace the club from its founding in 1903 to the present day.
It finishes in the club museum, where the Europa League and La Liga trophies sit alongside decades of kits. There is no Champions League silverware to match the Bernabéu's case of fifteen European Cups, but the museum tells the story of a club that built its identity on being the city's other team, and does it without the crowds next door.

Know Before You Go
Not suitable for
- Fans hoping for Champions League silverware; the trophy case here is Europa League and La Liga, not the Bernabéu's row of European Cups
- Anyone booking without checking the fixture list first, since match days shorten or close the route
- Visitors wanting a central location; the ground sits on the eastern edge of the city, a metro ride from downtown
What to bring
- Comfortable shoes for a route with stands, stairs and standing sections
- A metro card loaded for the ride out to Estadio Metropolitano
- A charged phone for the view across the bowl from the top tier
- The Atlético fixture list checked in advance if you have a set date in mind
Not allowed
- Large bags or suitcases through the stadium sections of the route
- Food or drink inside the dressing room or museum galleries
- Flash photography near the trophy cases in the museum
Insider Tips
A few things make the visit easier.
- Book a weekday slot if you can, weekends draw more Atlético fans and the route feels busier
- Check the fixture list before choosing a date, since match days cut the route short or cancel it
- Take the metro directly to Estadio Metropolitano, the ground is a fair way from the centre
- Go for the tour and skip a match ticket if all you want is to see the ground itself
- Spend a few extra minutes in the museum, the kit displays trace the club back further than most visitors expect
- Pair it with a central museum earlier in the day, since the Metropolitano sits on its own out east

What Visitors Say
Half the price of the Bernabeu and half the crowd too, we could actually take our time in the trophy room.
The dressing room and tunnel walk felt more personal here than at the bigger stadium tour we did over the summer.
Smaller trophy case than Real Madrid's, obviously, but the view across the bowl from the top tier was worth the $29 alone.
