Headout is an authorized and trusted partner of the venue, offering curated experiences to enjoy this attraction.
Opened in 2003, the Benfica Stadium, or the Estádio da Luz, is the home base of one of Portugal’s two more celebrated football clubs—SL Benfica. Over the years, this whopping 64,642-seater stadium in the heart of Lisbon has hosted several iconic football matches, including the UEFA Euro 2004 Final and the 2014 and 2020 UEFA Champions League Final, among others.
Portugal’s largest football stadium, also called the “Stadium of Light”, has a uniquely designed retractable polycarbonate roof, a striking pitch, and 43-meter-high arches, making it an unforgettable sight. The tour includes behind-the-scenes access, such as the dressing rooms, players’ tunnel, and pitch-side views, offering a unique glimpse into the world of professional football.
Visiting the Benfica Stadium means stepping into the very place where legends like Luisão, Ángel Di María, and Orkun Kökçü have made unforgettable football history over the years.
Transporting you to the three floors of the stadium, the Virtual Lift features 120 47-inch screens put together that offer you a virtual tour of some of SL Benfica’s most iconic moments in history. This is one of the largest video walls in all of Europe!
The massive 4000 square meter Benfica Museum offers a glimpse into the club’s 120-year history with countless trophies, jerseys of some of its most iconic players, and more than 20,000 documents and images.
The SL Benfica Stadium features one of the biggest video screens in all of Europe. With 120 screens, each one at 47 inches, you get to take a five-minute tour of the lift and watch a curated selection of key moments from SL Benfica’s history. The lift also transports you to all three floors of the stadium.
The SL Benfica Stadium is also known as the “Stadium of Light” or the “Estádio da Luz.” If you’re wondering how it got this nickname, the answer lies in its roof. Made of polycarbonate, it’s designed to allow light to flood the pitch from various angles. What’s more, it can also be retracted to keep the game going during unfavorable conditions.
The stadium’s Hall of Fame celebrates the legacies of some of the most iconic players in Benfica history like Eusebio, Nani, and Rui Costa among several others. You get to learn about how each of these icons contributed to the club’s rich 120-year history.
The moment you step out among the stands, you’ll instantly feel chills down your spine as you imagine being surrounded by more than 64,000 fans cheering on for their favorite team. The panoramic views of the stands are only seconded by access to restricted areas like the locker rooms and the press conference room.
The Benfica Official Store is the club’s official merchandise shop from which you can pick up all kinds of wearables and souvenirs. From beanies to caps, jerseys to jackets, you’ll be spoilt for choice, especially if you’re a die-hard Benfica fan.
The man in whose honor the Benfica Museum was named, Cosme Damião has an entire section dedicated to his contribution as the Founder of SL Benfica as we know it today. Known to be among the best Portuguese footballers, the museum showcases his history, a detailed timeline of his role in the club’s growth, and the countless victories he has to his name.
When it comes to Benfica’s trophy collection, to say that the museum will leave you awestruck is an understatement. From the Portuguese Cup, two European Cups, the NOS Three-Time Champion League Trophy from 2015/16, and some of the 38 Primeira Liga titles, you’ll get to witness the club’s success through its trophy collection.
The tour provides exclusive access to the Estádio da Luz, including the players' tunnel, locker rooms, press areas, and VIP zones. Additionally, the museum showcases a vast collection of trophies, memorabilia, and interactive exhibits detailing the club's storied history. The highlight is that you can opt for a guided tour or explore at your own pace.
The stadium is open from 9:30am to 7pm during the summer and 10am to 6pm during the winter. However, keep in mind that the stadium remains closed on match days, so you should check the official website before booking your tickets.
Yes, guided tours are offered in both Portuguese and English, providing exciting insights into the stadium's features and the club's history.
The ideal times to visit are during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is mild. You should ideally visit during a weekday to avoid larger crowds.
The tour is suitable for all ages, making it a great activity for families and football fans alike. However, children under the age of three are not allowed.
The stadium has its in-house restaurant—the Luz by Chakall, which offers several cuisines and unbeatable views of the stadium and pitch. There are also plenty of other options within a 15-20 minute walk from the stadium.
Yes, there's an official store on-site where you can buy all kinds of merchandise to commemorate your visit.
The stadium tour and the museum were just incredible. The history of the club is fascinating. Our tour guide was brilliant.
I liked the energy in the stadium, the trophy cabinet!
The highlight of my visit was
Great experience, good English guide!
the entire tour the changing rooms
This was a great tour with a very good guide
Parking great; friendly staff; ambience very good;
An incredible experience! Everything was very organized, clean and beautiful. The guide was great, super friendly and explained everything. A very worthwhile tour
Got there and the museum was closed; no explanation! Had paid extra to go to the museum so wasn't impressed with them and felt bad for the kids. Tour was ok; been on better.
The facilities are very beautiful, well-preserved and modern, and I was surprised to see how big everything was. But above all, the kindness and friendliness of our guide made the tour wonderful and fun!
We were so impressed that we forgot our backpack during the tour. The staff and police at the stadium were mega-friendly and went looking for it. They found our bag again. Super thanks guys!!!
Very well organized, very friendly guide. The visit to the stadium and the museum lasted a good 2? hours! We also got to see the Eagles. Very good value for money
The stadium experience itself was SUPER 😀 The "English" was not good and very difficult to understand, listless and rattled off as fast as possible ☹️
Great value well organised and very informative
Small group, nice guide, everything was great
yeah it was cool, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful taking photos making it fun and enjoyable!
Good visit, the guide was really nice !
It wasn't easy to find, but it was still a great experience.
The stadium is impressive. The kindness of all the workers who attended us was great.
The majesty of the stadium and the guide's commentary

My experience was NON existent!! I turned up to the stadium to be pointed around here there and everywhere by security and finally being told NO tour available as the stadium was closed due to a concert! I have called and spoken to sameer at Headout who is in the process of arranging a refund. Absolutely gutted and very cross that this breakdown in communication has happened. One very very unhappy mother and son a complete disaster end to our break away.
The event was cancelled and you did not warn us in advance. We travelled specifically from England and it was a complete disaster. To compound matters you have refunded only half of my money for an event that never took place which is appalling. I demand my full money back and added compensation for the inconvenience. Our sole purpose of the trip from England was to visit the stadium and we have been badly let down
Hi Attended the stadium today and due to a major event planned inside the stadium we could not do the stadium + meal which was part of the ticket. Are we able to get a partial refund? Regards Edgar
My guide was bored out of his mind. He spoke as if reading a science text book and showed zero enthusiasm. Even the small kids who were excited at the beginning of the tour lost their spark by the end of the tour. I've been to multiple stadium tours around Europe and this is by far the worst one. I would not recommend. Try Sporting or Porto.

Very nice place but exhausting line! For the experience with headout everything ok. Ease of purchase , ease of use.
The tickets were easy to purchase on line through this site. The Jeronimous monastery is worth the visit. This intricate, stunning architecture is incredible to see close up.
Beautiful and inspirational! Purchase your tickets online and the early time slot is the best. We arrived 20min prior to the 9:30 first showing and we were in the Monestary by 9:40. I did notice that the line got considerably longer and longer throughout the day. Definitely recommend visiting!
The monastery is magnificent. The interior is truly splendid, and the facade is also very impressive. The church is quite pretty. The visit is quick. But it's very crowded. Estimated waiting time was 2 hours. But fortunately, families with strollers get priority access without having to queue! Thank you for this.

Glad we stood in the q to get in

Beautiful but very long wait
An incredible experience! Everything was very organized, clean and beautiful. The guide was great, super friendly and explained everything. A very worthwhile tour
the monastery has a very particular architecture, the patios are a marvel, as well as its cathedral. as well as the cathedral. what is not understood if it is with time what is the sense of having that tremendous line in the access.
The most difficult thing was the long entrance line Everyone wanted to enter and cut in the front The guards often gave into the pushy customers The time reservations were not controlled. People with tickets for 11:00 am we're entering at 9:30 am
Impressive historical building but experience is limited to the architecture, taking about 30 minutes (after a one and a half hour wait in full sun, with a very, very high admission price).
Didn't like: The entry is expencive, but there's not much to do exept take photos. I wish there was some information about the place. I read online that visitors had to covef themselves, but to me it looked like everyone could wear whatever.
Got there and the museum was closed; no explanation! Had paid extra to go to the museum so wasn't impressed with them and felt bad for the kids. Tour was ok; been on better.
The monastery was nice, but not much story behind it, very brief too, we spent way more time queing fo it than in the attraction itself
Enjoyed the design and stonework of the monastery but found the tour was really just seeing the Cloister from each level with a minimal number of rooms open to view and understand the use of the Monastery. The Chapel also unfortunately had restoration scaffolding up at the altar and blocked most of that end of it. These thing plus the long lines lessened the experience.
the restoration. it thought there would be more to see and then you have to wait in another line to see the church, opted not to wait in the sun/heat.
I did not think the monastery was worth waiting in line for 45 minutes. Vasgo de Gama is buried in the church, so that was a plus. The maritime museum was amazing!
We made it in without much of a line at all. Went later in the day (maybe around 3 pm). Awesome gothic/baroque architecture
Most of the venue including the church was closed and nobody notified me about that. There was no staff. Massive queues for a very small access area. They were not that friendly. There was no live ticket office. No seating inside the facility Generally an underwhelming experience which was expensive.
