Visitors seeking a comprehensive guided experience
Guarantees a 2-hour structured tour covering the pitch, dressing rooms, and museum with a professional guide.
Stadium tours and the museum are strictly closed on all match days; for European fixtures, stadium access is also restricted the day before and the morning after the game.
Large bags and suitcases are prohibited; there are no on-site storage lockers, so visitors must use city luggage lockers or leave bags at their hotel.
The 'free scarf' mentioned in some offers is a specific bundle provided by partners like Tiqets; it is not a standard inclusion for tickets purchased directly from the official stadium box office.
Official member discounts and specialized family bundles are generally only available through the official Benfica website or physical ticket office at Gate 17.
Even with a 'skip-the-line' mobile ticket, you must check in at Gate 17 to be assigned the next available guided tour slot; you only bypass the purchase queue, not the tour assembly wait.

4 things to know before your visit
Entrance: For the Stadium Tour, head to Gate 17 (Porta 17) near the Eusébio statue; the Museum entrance is located in the adjacent Cosme Damião building. Note that 'skip-the-line' tickets only bypass the ticket office queue; you must still wait for the next available entry slot. In June, tours transition from guided (until June 15) to self-guided (from June 16), but stadium access is always suspended on match days—check the club's home schedule before visiting to avoid closures.
Price: Official adult combo tickets for the Stadium and Museum are priced at €20 for the general public, with club members paying a reduced rate (approx. €5). Partner offers (approx. €25–€27) often include a commemorative scarf as a bundle.
