We did the tour yesterday as a family. Booking was very easy and hassle-free. We received a very friendly welcome at the stadium. Tours run multiple times a day. We had a wonderful young lady guiding us who answered all our questions brilliantly. It was absolutely amazing, with plenty of real goosebump moments when we entered the players' dressing rooms, the tunnel leading out to the pitch, or onto the sidelines. And above all, in our opinion, it was great value for money. We definitely recommend the tour and would do it again in a heartbeat! 👍

The tour had a flexible schedule, and we were greeted by the stadium staff who were so welcoming. Our tour guide, Prince, was a breath of fresh air. He had an incredible understanding of the sport and Portugal's greatest players. It was truly a VIP tour of the stadium. We will recommend this tour to all our friends.

Very well organized and extremely complete. The museum is one of the best I have ever visited, the guide was great, and they take you to every corner of the stadium. I support another team, but I loved the experience....

I really liked how well-organized the tour was and how they explained everything to you. And of course, the stadium. I would recommend it to people, and especially if they like soccer history, this stadium is ideal.

Enjoy a self-guided tour of the Benfica Museum at your own pace, exploring the 29 themed areas that house 88 trophies won throughout the club's history.

Explore the exhibits dedicated to Cosme Damião, the club's founder and one of the most pivotal figures in its history.

On your tour of the stadium, you'll discover why it's called the Stadium of Light. The secret is its polycarbonate roof, which floods the stadium with light no matter the weather.

Walk the player’s tunnel as you imagine roaring fans, step into the locker rooms, and take in panoramic views from the stadium’s best vantage points.

Whether you choose tickets to the museum, the stadium, or combine both, you get an official scarf from the club's merchandise store.

Entry to the Benfica Museum (as per option selected)

Entry to the SL Benfica Stadium (as per option selected)

Guided tour of the SL Benfica Stadium (as per option selected)
