La Liga Athletic Bilbao San Mamés Stadium & Museum Tour

Inheriting the spirit of Athletic Club
"Cathedral of Football"

The interior design of the stadium reflects the spirit of the old San Mamés through the contribution of unique elements related to the history of the club and the city. It is a unique building in the center of Bilbao and has a translucent and permeable façade, making it feel like a gigantic metal work, connecting it with the city's identity and environment refined by iron.

San Mames Stadium named the world's best sports building

With a capacity of 53,331 spectators, the stadium was designed to the most demanding standards derived from UEFA's elite category. It was named the world's best sports building at the 2015 World Architecture Festival and Venue of the Year at the 2017 World Football Summit, and was the first soccer stadium in Europe to receive sustainable building certification.

Visit the Athletic Museum before the tour begins

You can't miss the temporary exhibition.

The Athletic Club regularly presents important temporary exhibitions alongside its permanent collection. The most relevant exhibition held by the Athletic Club Museum is currently underway. Showing off some of the most important Friendship trophies we've won along the way. There is information about economic value, importance, and historical value.

Player entry!

Walk through the players’ entry tunnel, look up at the stands through the players’ eyes, and sit in the dugout! This alone is a daunting experience.

Editor's reason for recommendation

"It's full of interesting topics. Because it's an audio-guided self-tour, it's even better because you can look around at your own pace without being restricted by time. You can even see temporary exhibitions, so it's a tour that you can fully satisfy at a reasonable price!"
