La Liga Athletic Bilbao San Mamés Stadium & Museum Tour

Continuing the Spirit of Athletic Club
The 'Cathedral of Football'

The stadium's interior design reflects the spirit of the old San Mamés through the contribution of unique elements related to the club and the city. As a unique architectural structure in the heart of Bilbao, it has a semi-transparent, permeable facade, giving it the feel of a giant metal artwork with its connection to the city's identity and environment refined by steel. 

San Mamés Stadium, Selected as the World's Best Sports Building

With a capacity of 53,331 spectators, this stadium was designed according to the most demanding standards derived from UEFA's elite category. It was selected as the world's best sports building at the 2015 World Architecture Festival, as the venue of the year at the 2017 World Football Summit, and was also the first football stadium in Europe to obtain sustainable building certification.

Players Entrance!

Walk through the players' entrance tunnel, look up at the stands from the players' perspective, and sit in the dugout! This alone is an overwhelming experience.
