    We did the stadium tour as part of our visit to Lisbon. The entrance fee of ~18€ is ok in my opinion. A visit to the museum is also included. During the tour, the guide will share some facts about the team and the stadium. But a visit is only worthwhile if you are interested in the team or football in general, as Lisbon has a lot of other sights to offer.

    Came for the stadium tour, the guide speaker was great. It’s worth a look. The museum however is questionable as they have tons of unrelated things such as the moon landing, world wars etc and trophies for sports like under 8 table tennis… The best part of the museum is the virtual penalty shootout game.

    Great stadium. Lacking the nice, large, HD video screens common in US stadiums. But great place to watch Champions League game!

    I was excited to enjoy a stadium tour here in December 2018 with my friend Sam on a Portuguese football adventure. We were in Lisbon for the Sporting match which was played on the Sunday evening so we spent the morning doing this tour. A lot of stadium tours can be a touch on the mundane side however, this one was fantastic from the minute we arrived. Our tour group consisted of a very humerus and knowledgeable guide who had spent time in Australia which was nice to chat about. He was a season ticket holder and knew some truly fascinating bits of information about the club and its history. The ground holds just over 64,500 supporters and opened in 2004. I think from memory, it was designed by the same folk who were responsible for The Emirates in London. The tour itself lasted around 2 full hours and we had a further 3 hours in the museum after. I know, I know. 3 hours seems a long time in a football stadium museum but I love to take my time and soak up the history and information on offer. There is a fantastic mix of football and general Portuguese culture and history mapped in as a kind of timeline. I have plans to return for a match in the coming year or so but for now, I hold these fond memories of a wonderful sunny December morning in one of the more impressive modern football stadiums.

    Got tickets for a very good price online. Easy directions to the gate. Each section is kind of closed off from others, but this was welcome as the crowds were not huge. Quick lines for concessions. No alcohol but they had NA beer for pretty cheap. If you're a visitor to Lisbon, this is a nice place to see a match. We saw them play Boavista. Good match. Benfica won.

    Really excellent stadium tour, I’ve done a few, a lot better than the Barcelona tour which was poor but not as well done as Anfield. The stadium is very impressive, the tour was in Portuguese and English. Got into every part of the stadium and there was no rush so everyone could take photos. A great eagle display at the end which I did not expect. Highly recommended on a trip to Lisbon. We ate in the cafe after and it was decent.

    This place is something special. Saw Benfica v Sporting. Great fans, great soccer, great stadium. I would absolutely return and I love the food trucks and events going on outside of the stadium before the game. Important to note that alcohol is NOT sold inside the stadium.

    Leaving allegiances aside, this is a beautiful stadium. Take the tour and also visit the museum. Benfica is a Portuguese institution and its history is bound inextricably with the history of Portugal. The museum will provide a sense of why this is the case. There is a light show that is fun and compelling. Lots of trophies including Benfica's 2 Champion League wins. Excellent tributes to Eusebio arguable the best player of his time. Two live Bald Eagles (American), the mascots, which do look a little sad under the circumstances. Alas, my only disappointment is that one is not permitted into the home dressing room -- we do get to see the opposing team's dressing room, which is paltry by comparison (so the tour guide says). If you want to spend lots of money, there is the club store of course, including places for a good cup of coffee and a less impressive meal.

    We had a great tour with Cristiano on Saturday October 23. The stadium itself is lovely and somewhat similar to Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. You are taken to the press conference room, away dressing room, tunnel and pitch side. You will also see the famous eagles. The museum is a separate building and is quite a sight to behold. It has an area in which kids can play and take penalties against a virtual goalkeeper. It is full of trophies and history and the staff are very helpful inside as well. If you visit Lisbon and you are a football fan, I recommend this tour!

    Context: visited for a Rammstein concert instead of a football match Beautiful stadium! Multiple entrances, everything clearly labelled and multiple easy ways to get there. Felt close to the centre as well (where the pitch would be) The only fault I could find was that it was a little annoying that at the end of the concert only one of the exit doors was opened but can't blame them for that.

    Very impressive stadium! Our guide was a really nice guy who made us feel welcome and was very happy to answer questions. Thanks for your hospitality and thank you for allowing Jota to transfer to Celtic (we love him). Good luck for league title 38 this year!

    We purchased tickets on the spot for the tour. It was about an hour long but was worth it. They let you take pictures at many occasions even down at the stadium at ground level. A lot of history and details. Tour is also translated in English by the host. They take pictures in the beginning of you and your group, but are expensive to purchase at the end.

    Excellent ground to visit. Good views even from the back of the 3rd tier. Try to catch a game if you're in Lisbon

    Brilliant tour. The tour guide had a strong accent though got through the majority of the explanation in English. Loved that after every 5 minutes of walking there was a chance to sit and take in the surroundings.

    What an incredible experience. The size, the history, and the energy you feel are overwhelming. Legends of football have batteled here. Definitely go for a visit or a game, if you enjoy sports.

    Brilliant tour and despite the turf being ripped up it was well worth the visit. Joauo was informative and entertaining in guiding us around and you get the impression Benfica are invested in the customer.

    Loved the whole experience- went in the morning to the stadium to buy tickets and it was a train ride to stadium later for the match. Easy to find our seats and the staff were very helpful as were the locals. Great atmosphere - the game ended up a draw but we were struck by the amount of very passionate female teenage fans there were - very encouraging to see so many . They sing an anthem like song where the stadium lights up red all the way round it and EVERY fan stands up and sings - gave me goosebumps! Ticket prices were reasonable and our seats were a great spot. Loved it.

    In the Benfica district, accessible by the Azul metro line, the da Luz stadium is magical. Clean environment and serene envoironment, it offers visits to the museum and has a large shopping area for true lovers of the benfiquista camisola.

    Watching a Champions League match is a unique experience, especially in a stadium with such an audience. We bought tickets in advance, we watched Benfica - Inter. The metro runs to the stadium itself, and the staff were kind enough to help us find our seats. We left the game a little earlier so that we wouldn't get caught in the crowd after the game, which I highly recommend considering that the stadium holds 65,000 people. Excellent experience.

    The tour takes more than half our. There's possibility to make photos in every spaces. Don't worry if youre alone, guider could help you with pleasure. For my, as not big fun od Benfica the most incredible was to see 3 real eagles which are taking a part of games.

    We enjoyed our stadium tour very much. Our guide was great. The museum we enjoyed less so. It was difficult working out which were the main football trophies as there were so many from lots of sports.

  • 5/5 Charlie H. 1 month ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    Beautiful stadium! We have been lucky to spend an afternoon in the mall located just next to the stadium, just before a game. Many fans were chilling there and we have been surprised by the mix of ages, gender, cultures, etc. and the way fans were behaving. This looked like a church’s ceremony, and we really understand now why is football so popular in Portugal :)

  • 5/5 Justus N. 6 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Estádio da Luz is a very nice and modern stadium. The Tour was well organized and gave us enough time to take pictures and videos. We learned something about the clubs history and went through the stands of the stadium. Afterwards we visited the guest locker room and the press room. Unfortunately the home teams locker room was not shown. All in all it was nice experience for every football enthusiast.

    Really good experience, purchased the museum and stadium tour tickets. Was able to sit in players chairs, press conference room and see the stadium inside. Went a few days before Europa league match so was able to see the Europa gates and set-up too. Guide spoke in English too!! Saw the legendary Eusebio exhibition in the museum. Worth it, for a Benfica Scarf too (was shown as included when booking Museum + stadium tour)

  • 4/5 Niels de G. 1 year ago on Google
    The stadium is impressive and the stadium tour only accentuates that. Though the tour is somewhat short, you do get to see a lot of the stadium and it is definitely worth the money. Of course, visiting a match may be even better, but there was no match taking place during our visit to Lisbon, unfortunately.

  • 5/5 Altaz L. 2 years ago on Google
    Just went over to see what all the fuss was about. I’m not really a football can (sorry!) but I must say I was quite impressed with the stadium! Not very sure I would buy the kit though! At least the parking was free!! Hope you like the photos. For some reason they weren’t allowing us to take any photos. So I had to sneakily take theses.

  • 5/5 Trishcuits 0. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. We did a tour of the stadium and also watched a Benfica game. Cant wait to go back.

  • 3/5 Chris 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool stadium. However, the stadium tour is a lot for a price of 12€ too short and superficial: you are really chased through the stadium and only get small insights. For example, you do NOT see the home team's dressing room.

  • 5/5 Elisa T. 2 years ago on Google
    Not a Benfica fan here BUT that doesn't mean I will not enjoy a football match. If you're in Lisbon and like football it's never a bad idea to enjoy a match of one of the football teams that Lisbon has 😎 try to book in advance and enjoy the Match!

  • 5/5 Mateusz G. 2 years ago on Google
    The most beautiful football stadium in Portugal, it's possible to do a stadium tour with a guide, but visiting Benfica Lisboa shop is a must. It's also Adidas shop there and a MediaMarkt.

    Superb stadium, took stadium trip, recommended to everyone

  • 5/5 Pedro S. 1 year ago on Google
    A must even if you don’t like futebol. I unfortunately didn’t have time to do the stadium tour (which I was told is incredible) but went to a couple games during my two visits to Lisbon. Easily accessible by subway, this stadium has beautiful architecture, a gigantic Benfica store inside, it is very easy to navigate and last but not least, Benfica fans are an awesome, civilized and polite crowd that chants for a good chunk of the matches. Will definitely come back for a tour to enjoy this marvellous place!

    Best team in portugal. Beautiful stadium. First time visit , was exquisite

  • 5/5 Paul S. 5 months ago on Google
    A magnificent stadium to watch the world's most popular sport Futebol (Soccer). Sport Lisboa e Benfica's (S.L. Benfica) home stadium, and one of Portugal's top professional futebol clubs that competes in the Primeira Liga and 38-times champions. The stadium's full name is, Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica. This is a multi-use stadium, but it's main purpose is home to Portuguese soccer in Lisbon. We bought tickets to a game at the Benfica store inside the MediaMarket building right next to the stadium. It was fairly easy, and on game day the stadium was packed, and the energy was through the roof. The stadium is very well managed and it was easy entering and leaving the stadium. Buying drinks and snacks was also made simple with plenty of kiosks all around the stadium. We enjoyed the game and the Portuguese people cheering on their Benfica team was a thrill to watch. Overall a spectacular evening of futebol!

    Probably the home of Portugal's biggest football club and in general a Sporting Institution. Paid €17.50 for a tour and access to the museum. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Andrada B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice experience, one of the best guided stadium tours! The accessibility is great, as well as the transportation to get there, by train or metro also many buses stations really close. We enjoyed an awesome experience on the tour of the football stadium, with very friendly and knowledgeable staff, who went out and beyond to help. If you are a football fan, I totally recommend to visit.

    Had a great tour of this stadium and had an excellent tour guide named Laura the cost of tour was €32 very reasonable would highly recommend if in Lisbon the history of the club is Excellent

  • 5/5 Nikola M. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on a stadium tour. For 12,5€, one gets an hour long guided tour. Since the World cup was taking place at the same time, we were able to also visit the first team’s locker. The guide (Pedro) was great, kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for football fans. With the tour ticket, you also receive a 10% discount im the official store.
