Attend a Real Madrid in the renowned Santiago Bernabéu stadium. A football trip to Real Madrid is a memory you’ll cherish. Santiago Bernabéu offers seating for 81,044 spectators. Real Madrid was selected by UEFA as the best club of the twentieth century. In 2020, they were in third place behind Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona. Marvel at players such as Benzema, Modric and Kroos during your football trip. Aside from the Champions League matches, the derby against fellow Madrileño Atlético Madrid is also something to look forward to. Real Madrid’s major rival is FC Barcelona. There’s an annual blowout during these match ups known as “El Clásico”.
Madrid is the perfect destination for a city break. Make the most of the amazing weather and the inviting outdoor bars.
To ensure your football trip to Real Madrid goes as particularly smoothly as possible, here we have our top tips for you. From insider tips on Santiago Bernabéu football stadium, to great advice on exploring the global city of Madrid.
Ever since 1947, Santiago Bernabéu has been the stadium where “Los Blancos” have played their home games. At 81,044, it’s the second largest stadium in Spain: only Camp Nou is bigger. The stadium is currently undergoing a makeover, with a new roof on its way that can open and close. The venue is named after Santiago Bernabéu de Yeste, who was first a Real Madrid player and went on to spend thirty-five years as its president. With him at the helm Real Madrid burgeoned into a top international club. It is of course possible to take a stadium tour during your football trip to Real Madrid. Read more about this below.
The stadium is found in the northern district of Chamartín, and is easy to reach by public transport. As with several other stadiums, we advise against getting there by car. Parking spaces are few and far between.
This is the easiest way to get to the stadium, with line 10 (dark blue) stops right there. This connection runs through the centre, and is the quickest way of reaching the stadium. Get off at Tribunal or Plaza de España. Buy a ten-journey ticket. This is of obviously cheaper, and a great deal easier than continually buying separate tickets.

The stadium can also be reached by bus, using the following lines. 14, 27 40, 43, 120, 126, 147 and 150.
Taxis are also a good way of getting to the stadium. Be sure to set off well in advance on match days, when the highway to the stadium is extremely busy.

First, check which side you’re sitting on. Then you’ll see the gate (puerta) where you enter the stadium. After this, look for your Vomitorio: this is the name of a number of sections together. Once here, look at which specific section and which seat you’re sitting in.
Puerta = gate (stadium entrance)
Vomitorio = Number of sections together
Sector = Section you’re sitting in
Fila = Row number
Asiento = Seat number
No football trip to Madrid is complete without a stadium tour. There are a number of different options to choose from. The cost of a tour varies between €20 and €30.

On this tour, you have a guide taking your around the various sights. These feature the players’ tunnel and taking a peek in the “presidential skybox”, and obviously include the trophy cabinet. There’s also a walk around the pitch, the Real Madrid museum and the press room.
Reserve your tickets online well in advance. The groups are of thirty people, and can get full up.

It’s match day! There are plenty of great spots around Santiago Bernabéu for having a drink and a bite to eat. These places really top off football trip to Real Madrid.
If the ultimate football-trip dinner experience sounds good, book a table in Santiago Bernabéu with views over the pitch. The prices are reasonable, and are between €30 and €50. Eating here is something you’ll never forget; and is ideal for combining with a stadium tour. Reserving in advance is compulsory. If arriving on a match day, be sure to check the opening times.
This bar is also in the stadium. This is the place to come for a drink and spectacular views over the pitch, and is slightly less formal than the restaurant section. This bar consists of two floors: above you have a glass wall eighty metres in length, where you can relax and order a drink.
Real Madrid is of course one of the largest and most recognisable teams in the world. Not just in football, but in all sports. The club was founded in 1902, known as Madrid Football Club at that time. In 1920, the then King Alfonso bestowed the name Real (Royal), and the crown was added to the logo.
Real Madrid’s most significant rivals are FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, with “El Clásico” in particular being a match that fans of Los Blancos look forward to the most. The derby against Atlético is also absolutely worth attending.
Los Blancos (the Whites): the name says it all. Ever since the club was founded, Real Madrid has – apart from one season – played its matches in white. The only year this wasn’t the case was in 1925, when they were wearing black shorts. This was because they’d seen Corinthian FC playing in this stylish combination during a tour of England. That fortunately only lasted a year.
With their away kits, Madrid often attempts to include blue or purple, as a reference to the stripe in the logo.
Real Madrid’s very first logo was extremely simple, consisting of its initials only: MFC, Madrid Football Club. Despite its change of name in 1920, Real retained the initials in the logo.
The crown was removed from the logo in 1931, due to the political turmoil in Spain. The logo was given a purple stripe: standing for the Castile region. The crown was to return in 1941 – two years after the civil war – and the purple stripe remained. The purple stripe was made slightly bluer in 2001, and this is the logo we know today.
Madrid is not only the city of Real, but also the beautiful capital of Spain. There is plenty to do and see outside the stadium during your football trip to Real Madrid.
This park has long belonged to the Royal Family, but is now open to everyone. A wonderful, huge park in the very heart of Madrid. Unquestionably worth a visit.
An Irish sports pub, albeit in an entirely Spanish style. Here you can enjoy tapas and a drink, and watch sports games. The place to come for the international atmosphere and Spanish charm.
Don’t walk into here wearing an Atletico Madrid shirt! This compact bar is all about Real Madrid; located on the outskirts, and is ridiculously inexpensive!
This charming, vibrant district is not to be missed during your football trip. This place is packed with restaurants and bars, with all kinds of different markets there on Sundays. Perfect for an afternoon browse.
Overall I can safely say that I was extremely pleased with the service and package I received from footballbreak.co.uk From choosing the hotel to the match (Real Madrid v Sevilla VIP Tickets) I was eased through the process and everything was taken care of. I arrived at the hotel and my tickets were there. Simple and no hassle. What else do you need when going on holiday? Madrid is a beautiful city albeit we had poor weather and The Bernabeu is simply amazing as is the atmosphere. We were also treated to 4 goals and majestic Ronaldo!
In short - I would 110% book again!
Tip: Please check the weather as it can get cold and wet! 4 nights is probably just about right and don't underestimate the Metro system. So easy and cheap! The stadium is only a few stops from the City Centre!
We recently visited to Real Madrid vs Sporting Gijon. I think the total package was an amazing bargain. We paid for flights, hotel and tickets around £200. The Bernabeau was amazing. We had pitchside seats and the game was amazing. We received amazing service as it was my 21st. I would highly recommend Madrid, it is a lovely city with amazing sights.
Tip: Utilise the metro! It's super cheap and easy to use!
This is my fourth time in Madrid and I love each and every time I come to the city. I will recommend the services of FootballBreak.co.uk to my friends and family!
Total package was matched very good. Hotel was in centrum of Madrid, flight without problems, seats on the stadium excellent - vip area. The price for holidays was cheaper than we expected, we compared this with other websites.
Both my son and myself had a tremendous time with great seats and atmosphere to match. I would recommend this package to any football fan and will certainly be looking to return.
Madrid is a beautiful city and the atmosphere at the game was amazing.
Tip: Pre book your transfer before arrival will save you a few euros.
El Clasico with my brother was very possibly the best weekend and football match I have ever been to (including the Champions League Final at Wembley). The flight was very good and ensured that regardless of when the match was being played we would have plenty of time to spare. The hotel was perfectly located in the city centre, making the entire weekend hassle free. Naturally, my main concern was regarding the tickets, but this was immediately resolved as they were handed over as soon as we checked in to the hotel. The seats in the Stadium were a tad disappointing, as I thought we would be closer (The second best package available turned out to be 4th tier). However, the match/atmosphere/experience was incredible and I would recommend this to any football fan.
Tip: Madrid is a brilliant city, but doesn't really have that many "stand-out" or "must-visit" places. I would recommend walking around the entire city (its not that big), stopping off for drinks and tapas along the way. Best way to take in the culture!
My son and I had the trip of a lifetime, we spent the first few days attending the Santiago Bernabeu, game which was spectacular then a tour which was equally spectacular it was awe inspiring but you have to see the city it is fantastic and the metro is easy and cheap enough for you get around.
Tip: Trip of a lifetime, must do for football or Madridista fans.
Jack & James Morgan visited Real Madrid
I booked a footballbreak for my son's 18th birthday to see Real Madrid v Barcelona (Super Cup). I found the online bookng very simple and straighforward with options to upgrade etc. the whole trip worked like 'clockwork', hotel Melia Castilla was excellent and well situated for the Santiago Bernabeu. Tickets for the match were at the hotel on arrival the day before the game. Fantastic seats 23 rows back from the front to the left of the goal. I have never experienced an atmosphere like this before. A stadium tour is a must. Madrid is a fine city and the public transport was so easy to use. The trip could not have been more perfect. Having never used footballbreaks previously I was apprehensive re the tickets being there, I need not have worried. Would thoroughly recommend the company.
Tip: Buy a one two or three day metro/bus pass, well worthwhile.
Just to let you know my Father and I had a fantastic weekend away in Madrid last week. The flights were good, as was the hotel and the tickets - were waiting at reception as promised - were awesome. We were blown away by the sheer size of the Bernebeu and the game, Real Madrid 4 Racing Santander 0 was very entertaining. Thanks again to you and your company who provided a hassle free weekend.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Football breaks.co.uk very much and in particular Rebecca for what can only be described as the trip of a life time. I have just returned from Madrid where I was on my Stag do along with 16 of my friends and family. The complete package offered by Rebecca for flights, accommodation & match tickets (Real Madrid V Levante) was simply perfect in relation to what we required. The help and assistance that was on hand to get everything sorted out for such a large party of guys was second to none and made the trip simply fantastic and completely hassle free. To say how good and smooth everything was I’d say that all the guys on the trip commented on the excellent organisation and when I told them about Rebecca there was discussions about booking our next trip already.
TIP: Make sure that you take the stadium tour and i'd also recommend the bus tour to allow you to see as much of this beautiful city as possible in a short break
