What to do with three teenagers on a hot sunny day in Madrid? A museum visit was out of the question and we had already surrendered to the heat during the panoramic bus tour through the city centre.
A sudden brainwave: a tour of Madrid's football stadium home to the world renowned Real Madrid Team.
The Bernabéu tour took us around the club’s most iconic spots and gave us a spectacular view from above the stadium, from the Presidential balcony, from the players' perspective, from the pitch itself, and from the coach’s viewpoint, sitting in the heated ergonomic seats in the bench area. The tour route included the players’ dressing rooms where the RM star player’s locker had already been cleaned out since he had officially left the club the day before.
We explored the history of Real Madrid through the Trophies Exhibition, which houses the club’s trophy collection plus thousands of items that are part of its heritage, including shoes, shirts, balls, photographs and documents.
However, to witness the Bernabéu in its full glory you'll just need to be lucky enough to catch a ticket for "El Clasico", the yearly Real Madrid vs Barcelona game!
Named after the club’s legendary president who headed Real Madrid between 1943 and 1978, the Santiago Bernabéu stadium was opened in 1947. It has a capacity for 81,044, 245 VIP boxes and four restaurants
