Atlético de Madrid Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium Tickets and Tours

There are stadiums that are just concrete and seats, and then there are places that have a pulse of their own. Approaching the San Blas neighbourhood and seeing the immense roof of the Riyadh Air Metropolitano rise up causes a tingling sensation that is difficult to explain, even if football is not your Sunday religion. It's not just about seeing where eleven players play against eleven others; it's about understanding why thousands of people say that being an Atleti fan is a way of life, whether it's by exploring the club's inner workings on a guided tour, on your own, or cheering from the stands.

The best option for understanding the history of Atlético Madrid

Atlético de Madrid Stadium Guided Tour with Tickets to the Interactive Museum

Guided tour of the Riyadh Air Metropolitan + Atlético de Madrid museum

Tour the stadium and museum with a guide who explains the evolution of the club, the trophies and the legends that have marked Atleti.

From £28 at Hellotickets

Sometimes, seeing things is not enough; you need to have them explained to you to make sense of them. This tour is the perfect middle ground for those who are curious and want context. You will tour the stadium and museum with a guide, which makes the tour a much more social and narrative experience.

It's ideal for understanding the evolution of the club, from the nostalgia of the Vicente Calderón to this modern spaceship, without missing any details about the trophies and legends that have forged the Rojiblanco character. If you want the full "initiation route", you can sign up for the guided tour with tickets to the Atlético de Madrid museum and let a guide put words to every corner.

Premium option for the most discerning customers

Atlético de Madrid Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium Premium Guided Tour and Museum Tickets

Premium tour of the Riyadh Air Metropolitan Stadium

A club guide takes you through exclusive areas such as the presidential box and changing rooms, with access to restricted areas and immersive experiences of Atleti Territory.

From £65 at Hellotickets

If you're one of those people who thinks "since we're going, let's go all out", this is the option for you. Forget about being just another visitor in the queue; here, the experience is elevated. An expert club guide accompanies you, unlocking anecdotes that don't appear on the posters and opening doors that are usually closed to the public. Of course, you can also enjoy the interactive museum, as well as breakfast in Simeone's private box.

The power of this option is the feeling of exclusivity: stepping into restricted areas and understanding the architectural and social magnitude of this giant from a privileged perspective, almost as if you were a star signing being shown around your new home. If this plan suits you, you can book the Premium Tour of Atlético de Madrid's stadium and ensure an experience that lives up to your expectations.

Get ready, because the technology here hits you in the face and the excitement gets under your skin. The tour is a visual feast: you'll walk through the tunnel to the changing rooms listening to the imaginary echo of studs, enter the first team's dressing room — where everything happens before they take to the pitch — and sit on the same bench where Cholo shouts himself hoarse.

What's more, the museum isn't just a collection of old, dusty display cases; it's an interactive journey through a legacy of suffering and glory that will help you understand the club's DNA. Any of the above options (general admission, guided tour or Premium visit) includes this tour through the heart of the Metropolitano.

This isn't a visit to be rushed, but to help you plan, allow between an hour and a half and two hours. It all depends on how**much of a 'geek'**you are when it comes to photos or how long you get caught up in the virtual reality games and museum projections.

It's an emotionally charged tour, so my advice is to take it easy; you're here to enjoy yourself, not to tick things off a list. If you're short on time, you might be more interested in the general admission ticket to the stadium and museum so you can hop around to whatever you feel like seeing.

Visiting hours

Take note so you don't get left at the gate. As a general rule, Territorio Atleti is open every day from 11:00 to 19:00 (extending to 20:00 in the summer months), but remember that the last admission is usually allowed up to two hours before closing time.

Bear in mind that this is a live venue: on match days, visits end five hours before kick-off (logical, as the team needs to concentrate) and the museum usually stays open until the start of the match. My golden tip: always check the official calendar before you go, as sometimes there are training sessions or private events that can alter the schedule.

How to get there

Forget the car if you want to avoid hassle. The stadium has its own underground station, Estadio Metropolitano (Line 7), which drops you off right at the foot of the structure. It's the most convenient, quickest and most authentic way to get there.

Absolutely. In fact, they'll probably enjoy it more than you do. Atleti has designed Territorio Atleti with the younger generation in mind: there are lots of touch screens, skill games, virtual reality and interactive corners that make history fun rather than boring.

It's not your typical boring museum where you have to be quiet; here you can touch, play and feel. If you're going with your family, the guided tour + Atlético de Madrid museum or general admission to the museum and stadium is an unbeatable weekend plan.

All of the above is the rehearsal; this is the play. Going to a match at the Metropolitano is not tourism, it is a ritual. If you have the opportunity, buy tickets to see an Atlético de Madrid match at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano and get ready for a pressure cooker of 70,000 throats.

The acoustics of the stadium are designed so that the sound stays inside and resonates in your chest. No matter who the opponent is, experiencing the build-up, the a cappella anthem and the energy of the stands is an experience that reconciles you with football in its purest form.
