Stadium tour is really great experience. Definitely worth to spend few ours on this place. Tour is well guided, a lot of interesting information and stadium looks impressive. If you can combine visit with game it would be win win. I am gonna give 5 stars, but what I did not like is picture selling at the end of tour. Before you start, in the lobby, guys will take picture of you or family. The prices are shamelessly high aka 20 euros for 2 photoshoped pics. So Benficados, cool gesture would be to give this pictures as gift especially to kids.

A must-see for every football fan! Estádio da Luz is a beautiful, modern stadium that still preserves the legacy and spirit of the old one. The VR experience is a real highlight — don’t miss it. The Benfica Museum is fantastic, full of history and emotion, and the fan shop is great too. You can easily spend a whole day here exploring and soaking up the atmosphere.

I decided to take in a Benfica match while I was in Lisbon. The atmosphere was amazing - Jose Mourinho’s first home game in charge. I had food in the stadium and it was good quality and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit if you can get a ticket.

Tickets were reasonable and discount applied for over 65. The tour is self guided, unfortunately no audio guide. If you want to know more, I do recommend to get the museum ticket. The museum cinema hall had a movie explaining the history and it moved me to tears. Staff is helpful and very knowledgeable.

What a stadium, what fans, what an atmosphere! A spectacular show, interactive and fan-driven. Certainly whips up the fans, which in turn can only help motivate and drive players. Lovely to see families and the young in such numbers. What's wonderful also is the large numbers who stick around to eat at the many eateries around the stadium after the game.

Safety Tips
Stay safe and secure
1
Keep a close eye on your valuables if you're stopping for food or drinks near the stadium, especially if sitting outside. Avoid leaving phones or wallets unattended on tables.
2
When taking photos inside the museum or during the stadium tour, be mindful of your surroundings and avoid blocking pathways or causing obstructions for other visitors.
3
Stay hydrated, especially during the summer months, as the stadium can get very hot, particularly if you're taking a tour or attending an event. Bring water or purchase it at the stadium.
4
If attending a match, be aware of your surroundings and follow instructions from stadium staff and security. Stay in designated areas and avoid any behavior that could be disruptive or dangerous.

Insider Tips
Pro traveler secrets
1
Consider visiting the museum and stadium on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds. This will allow you a more relaxed and immersive experience.
2
Take advantage of any discounts or promotions offered for combination tickets or student/senior rates. Check the official website before your visit to see if you qualify.
3
Allow ample time for your visit, especially if you're a football fan. The museum is quite extensive, and the stadium tour can take a couple of hours, so plan accordingly.
4
Look for opportunities to go behind the scenes with a specialized tour; sometimes there are options to see areas not normally accessible to the public, like the press box or locker rooms.
5
If you're a Benfica fan, allocate some of your souvenir budget to the official club store at the stadium; there’s a vast selection of merchandise that you might not find elsewhere in Lisbon.
