A good experience for a fan to see the stadium. It was a little confusing to find the entrance due to renovation works but we followed the fence and saw a spray painted ‘Tour’ sign.

It is highly recommended to join a guided tour! Because the Retiro Park covers a large area, the various attractions are a bit scattered. Unless you plan to save money (the park itself does not require tickets) and are willing to spend more than half a day walking around, it will be more efficient and enjoyable to have a professional guide to assist us. Our tour guide was very dedicated to explaining the history of Spain to us and guiding us to various attractions in the park (he even took the trouble to take us to the places we wanted to visit). It was a wonderful experience!

Buy on the same day and use on the same day. No need to exchange tickets. You can enter directly with a QR code. You need to get a tour machine. Enter the venue and follow its visit route. Not very big, walk one to an hour and a half to finish.

Very convenient, gate 84 a show QR code gate can enter, the only drawback did not have to choose the time, he automatically chose 18:30 sessions, many sessions throughout the day. Because I arrived early, the staff was not allowed in. Luckily my hotel was next to the stadium and I could go back to rest and walk around before returning to the stadium.

Visit the bullring and the museum, but taking photos is not allowed in the museum. There is a virtual bullfighting game, which is quite fun! The whole family had a great time
