Tour Bernabeu

The place where your dreams come alive!




Today was a magical tour of Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid C.F. The tour began with a panoramic view from the fourth tier terrace. Following the renovation, the stadium now seats 85,000 and all seats have heating. From this height, and through the silence, you can imagine a million cheering fans.

The self guided tour then brought you to a modern and interactive room, complete with giant screens and multi-touch technology. Roman was entranced with the screen scenes of all the best players at Real Madrid since 1902. Mabret enjoyed the amazing trophies!


The boys got closer to the action by walking around the very pitch where all the greats have played. The most amazing part was being able to actually run up the players' tunnel and sit in the players' and coaching area. From here, it all looked so different!



    Imagine Cristiano Ronaldo sat right here! 

We then entered the home and visiting teams' locker room. The Madrid changing room was very nice and included; whirlpool and plunge pool, WC, showers, massage room and of course each players' actual locker.



Finally, the Press Room where Roman and Mabret answered some tough questions.


A good day was had by all. Roman's favorite part was walking onto the field and Mabret's was the locker room and sitting on the players' 'bench' - they are actually fully padded comfortable chairs!
