Handy tips

  • Book early: Stadium tours, especially with live Q&As or roof abseil add-ons, can sell out weeks ahead, reserve in advance to get your preferred slot.
  • Arrive 15–20 minutes early: Tours depart promptly, and entry after the safety briefing isn’t always allowed.
  • Plan carefully: Tours don’t run on home match days or the afternoon before, check the fixture list when planning.
  • Layer up: Parts of the route (like the pitchside and roof areas) are exposed to the wind, bring an extra layer even in summer.
  • Travel light: Only small bags are permitted; there’s no cloakroom or locker storage on site.
  • Photos allowed, but not everywhere: Most areas welcome photos, but filming or using tripods is restricted. Ask your guide before shooting in player zones.
