Riyadh Air Metropolitano – Entry Tickets & Visitor Guide (Atlético Madrid)

Purpose-built for sightlines, acoustics, and flow, the Metropolitano blends fan energy with sleek design. Tours take you behind the scenes—press room, bench, locker rooms—while the museum layers history, shirts, and trophies with multimedia. On match days the stadium becomes a sea of red and white; on non-match days, it’s a calm, photogenic architectural visit.
Entry Tickets & How to Choose
Start with your priority: a self-guided stadium tour, a guided visit with context, or a match ticket. Timed entries help avoid queues and keep groups balanced in key areas like the benches and player tunnel.

Stadium & Museum Highlights
Expect a polished route with clear signage and staff at key points. Don’t rush the lower bowl—its scale and acoustics are the mood of match night.
- Players’ Tunnel & Pitchside: step out to the technical area for a coach’s-eye view.
- Home & Away Dressing Rooms: design details, physio areas, and tactical boards.
- Press Room & Mixed Zone: where post-match narratives take shape.
- Territorio Atleti Museum: shirts, legends, and interactive history of the club.
- Paseo de Leyendas: plaques celebrating icons—spot your favorites outside the stadium.
Plan Your Visit
Tours typically take 75–90 minutes (add 30–45 for the museum). Weekends sell fast; early slots offer clearer photos. On match days, some areas may close; pick non-match days if you want the full route.
- Transport: Metro “Estadio Metropolitano” gets you to the gates; follow stadium signs.
- Timing: arrive 10–15 minutes early; ticket checks are quick but steady.
- What to bring: small bag, water (sealed), and a charged phone for photos.
Match Day Basics
For games, plan extra time for security and enjoy the fan atmosphere outside: food trucks, merch, and pre-kickoff anthems. Seats are numbered; aisles are wide; services (restrooms, concessions) are frequent.
- Entry: digital tickets scan fast; keep brightness up.
- Bags: compact only; larger items may be denied or stored.
- Merch: club store is busiest post-match—go earlier if possible.
With Kids & Accessibility
- Strollers: permitted on tours; lifts available.
- Accessibility: step-free routes and seating; staff assistance on request.
- Photo spots: benches, tunnel, and trophy areas—ask staff for the best angles.
Before/After the Stadium
The arena sits in San Blas-Canillejas with easy links to central Madrid. Pair your tour with tapas on nearby avenues or head to the center for Gran Vía lights and late dinners. On sunny days, plan a short park stop to let kids run off the adrenaline.
Best Times to Visit
- Weekday mornings: quietest for photos and free movement.
- Late afternoons: golden light on the bowl; check last entry times.
- Match eves: lively atmosphere; expect partial area closures.
