• Recommended if... you are an unconditional Real Madrid fan.

Real Madrid's stadium is one of the most important in the world. To list the historic milestones that have taken place on its turf would be too long. In its long history, the Merengues have covered themselves in glory and thousands of football fans flock here to see the 13 European Cups. However, there is a lot to see on the tour of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. So, depending on availability and time of year you may have the chance to see:

• Best Club in History, an audiovisual experience that explains the history of the club.
• Presidential box, the most exclusive area. Its seats are reserved for directors, authorities and guests.
• Interactive journey, aboard a replica of the Merengue first team bus.
• Trophy room, the flagship of the stadium. The collection is very extensive and includes shirts, the Golden Balls of legends such as Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo (among others), Golden Boots and all the cups won in more than a century of history. Screens project the most important goals scored by the Whites.
• Changing rooms.
• Players' tunnel, to test the adrenaline of match days.
• Turf and benches, where Madrid dreams come true.

The Santiago Bernabeu tour is very popular. The total cost starts from €18 and includes a tour of the stadium for approximately 45 minutes, access to the Real Madrid Museum and the official shop and panoramic views of the stadium.

If you're staying in Madrid for a day, this is a highly recommended option.

The Santiago Bernabéu stadium tour lasts a minimum of 45 minutes and is one of the must see and do in Madrid if you love football. It is not just a guided tour but a real experience. A visit to the Trophy Room alone will take you a while. In addition to the Champions Cups and La Liga titles, you can admire the boots and shirts of Madrid legends.

Another popular attraction is virtual reality. The videos and photo montages of the Bernabéu will take up a bit of your time, but I assure you they are worth it.

If you've been to Madrid with children, don't hesitate to take the Santiago Bernabeu stadium tour. All Merengues fans dream of visiting the Madrid stadium, children included. The little ones will have the chance to see the changing rooms, admire the trophy room and enjoy the panoramic view of the pitch. They will also be able to walk on the pitch and feel like their idols.

Another thing they will love is the Best Club of the 20th Century room, an environment that offers a digital experience using the most advanced gamification technology.

The Castellana Arena is open every day of the week. From Monday to Saturday, you can walk on the pitch from 9.30am to 7pm and the tour starts every half hour from 9.30am to 6.30pm. On Sundays and public holidays, the opening hours are slightly reduced, from 10:00 am to 6:30 pm. On 25 December and 1 January, the Santiago Bernabéu is closed.

On match days, tours are still available, but end five hours before the match.

The legendary Merengue stadium is just a few metres from the Paseo de la Castellana, one of the city's longest thoroughfares. Being located in an office district - Hispanoamérica, part of the Chamartín district - it has a transport network that guarantees fast journeys both to the city centre and to Barajas airport.

If your plans in Madrid include a tour of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, you can choose from the following options to get there:

• Metro - The "Santiago Bernabéu" stop (line 10) is just 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 arrive directly from the airport, you have two alternatives: if you land at T4, you can take the Cercanías (C1 or C10) to Chamartín and, once there, take line 10 to the "Santiago Bernabéu" stop. On the other hand, if you land in terminals 1, 2 and 3, you can get to the stadium on metro line 8.
• Bus - Lines 14, 27, 40, 43, 43, 120, 126, 147 and 150 connect various points in the capital with the Los Blancos arena.
• Train - Nuevos Ministerios station is a ten minute walk from the Santiago Bernabeu.
• Car - If you have a rental car, just enter the address of the stadium in your navigator. Once you arrive, you will have to leave your car in a paid car park. However, this is not the most convenient option. In conjunction with the matches, many streets are closed to traffic.

If you want to have a snack after the tour, you have to take into account that the Santiago Bernabéu is located in the heart of the financial district. The district is home to the headquarters of important companies, shopping centres, residential areas and one of the most important interchanges in the city: Nuevos Ministerios. Therefore, there is no shortage of options when it comes to eating out.

Read on and discover our selection of bars and restaurants within walking distance of the Merengue stadium.

• Cervecería José Luis, the classic of classics. Madrid fans flock to this bar for a few beers before the match (Paseo de la Habana 4).
• New York Burger, a carnivore's paradise. Its speciality is low-temperature smoke cooking. If you don't fancy a hamburger, you can opt for a ryb eye or a Black Angus rib eye (Paseo de la Castellana 89).
• Materia Prima, a market restaurant a few metres from the stadium. Its specialities include Russian salad, steak tartar and seafood ceviche (Calle Doctor Fleming 7).
• Puerta 57, the Bernabéu's viewpoint. The main attraction is the large glass window overlooking the stadium's lawn. It offers pinchos, raciones (tapas) and dishes of the day. If you like football, this is an essential stop (Calle Padre Damián s/n). Another option to enjoy the view over the pitch is the Real Café Bernabéu. It is famous for its breakfasts and brunches (Avenida Concha Espina 1).
• Goa, the temple of Basque meat. Txistorras, chuletones and sirloins come directly from Oyarzun, a municipality in the province of Guipúzcoa. On match days, you can watch the match on their screens (Calle Doctor Fleming 7, 28036 Madrid).
• Taberna del Volapié, a franchise specialising in Andalusian cuisine. The menu is varied and includes healthy salads, sandwiches, fish dishes, croquettes and much more (Paseo de la Castellana 144).
