- 9.14.6/5388 ReviewFrom36.39based on 23281 reviews"(Non-Real Madrid fans), the opening is much less than the Premier League stadium before, the stadium turf is not installed, just the upper grandstand and trophy exhibition room is opened, there is no stadium floor, no dressing room, no news interview room, etc. There is an additional charge for taking pictures on the spot. I have asked the staff many times whether they charge, but I just replied: If you want to take a photo, you can take it if you don't want to take it. You can print it until the end of the court, and you need to charge 15 euros for 1 photo. The toll staff was not very patient. At first, I thought that "one five" meant a photo of 5 euros, because a total of 3 photos were taken, and the result was "15 euros". When I took out 5 euros, the staff turned to the sky with white eyes and felt not very friendly. There are people selling the membership card of Real Madrid throughout the process, interrupting the feeling of visiting. Just like this, punch a card, the stadium is large, and the trophy exhibition room is quite spectacular."Madrid.Financial District4.2km from downtownHighlights: Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is the home stadium of Real Madrid. Superstars such as Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, Raúl González Blanco and Zinedine Zidane are have all played on all Bernabéu's famous pitch.

You can walk around the display case full of trophies and even take a look at the media center and locker rooms.Show Less
