Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica

We went and viewed the stadium as the weather was not that nice. I have to say we really enjoyed the experience especially as it was just 40 euros for two of us about £35. You got to see all parts of the stadium and our tour guide was excellent and spoke in Portuguese and very good English.

Fantastic football stadium, the atmosphere is electric, one of the best match day experiences I have ever had. I purchased the tickets on the day of the match from their ticket office but had to produce photo ID so take your passport or driving licence. Cost was €50 per seat. The Metro station is about a 10 minute walk away.

Easy to get into as the metro stops just near the stadium. Fantastic stadium, amazing fanzone on the Champions League night. Powerful soundtrack adding even more climate, the rock vibes certainly give you goosebumps before a big game here. The club is legendary and you can feel it. Everything is so professional and big. The team is great, the players are fantastic, awesome wonderkids and a mix of more experienced veterans well acclaimed in their career like Otamendi or Di Maria. The show and ambience was top notch. The store is huge too!

We went on match day (the 4th of January) vs Braga. They played well but unfortunately Benfica lost 2-1 The atmosphere is good. I personally recommend to buy the match tickets in advance. The day after we went to do the museum tour and stadium. The negative part is that the museum was only trophies after trophies but the stadium tour was really nice. Bruna was our guide, she spoke very well.

The museum is amazing,especially the room with the videos felt lol I was in a game day.the staff was very friendly and the stadium tour was very nice you have the chance to see the eagle.at the end of the tour the store staff gave us a magnet from the stadium as a gift

Went to watch Rondaldo play live before he retires. We went to the mall nearby to hang out before the game but of course we couldn’t shop a lot because only small bags can be taken. But then we forgot that we can leave our stuff in lockers then take them after. You aren’t allowed many things so to be safe pass by these lockers and ask. The family atmosphere and so many kids so it felt safe. Not many people smoking unlike in other countries like Germany. Waiting time to get in not to long if you go early. Nosebleed seats were only €25 but super steep. We were in the topmost. Quite a work out to get to. We had a lot of fun watching the game. Ronaldo is really a hero of Portugal.

Great stadium! Was here for The Eras Tour back in May. The venue seemed to be well organized on night 2 and we had no issues getting in or out of the stadium besides the expected lines. Staff were friendly as well!

Really nice tour of the stadium. English speaking guide with great information about history of the club. Interesting tour. Would like to se a match but was only on the day we went back. A the start of a home match the Eagle flies at round and lands in the middle of the pitch to complete the Befika synbol. That would have been cool to watch. There is a museum in combination with the stadium but in my opinion it to big. It includes all sports from Portugal and not only Benfika.

Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, or as it is otherwise known, Estádio da Luz is the largest football stadium in Portugal and in the top 25 largest stadiums in Europe, it is home to Benfica with a capacity just shy of 65,000. The stadium has hosted the UEFA Champions League Final on two occasions, since opening in 2003, hosting the 2014 and 2020 Finals. It also hosted matches during Euro 2004, including the Final and will highly likely host games in the FIFA World Cup 2034 when it is played in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. It is a large and modern stadium, easily accessible by the metro from the city centre, it is also right by the large Colombo Shopping Centre in case you want to kill some time and grab a bite to eat while waiting for traffic to die down after the game. I visited the stadium during my 2023 trip to Lisbon, the stadium is certainly very pretty, the arches at the top of the stadium in Benfica's red colours remind me of a smaller version of what you might find at Wembley, there is a red theme around the stadium with it being the colour of Benfica. The facilities at the stadium are amongst what you'd expect at the best clubs and stadiums across Europe, including a themed cafe, store and museum. The underpass approaching the stadium from the shopping centre is very unique in modern stadia, it gives you that 80's / 90's feel of walking through the terraces, it's decorated in art and graffiti all related to Benfica and just feels that good kind of old school which you don't get in the modern stadia anymore. I do think the walking route to the stadium could be better signposted, however, as I did struggle to find a safe and possible route. 4* - Amongst the top stadiums in Europe, which we will hopefully see host further big games in the future.

Beautiful stadium with great fans. The history of the club and the eagle mascot was amazing to see

I have been to two games at the Estadio da Luz, and both times I had an amazing time! (Champions Leauge against Zenit & Bayer Münich) The atmosphere before the game was just as amazing as when the game started. People standing outside, drinking their beers & eating food from little food trucks, and buying some football gear. Everyone extremely friendly and happy, despite which team you will support. I had expected to see some clashes between the supporters, but that never happened. Quite the opposite actually; people were taking pictures with the supporters of the opposite team, shaking hands and having a few laughs. Amazing to see such good sportsman ships. Before the game starts you have one of the 3 Benfica eagles fly around, yea an actually eagle! You have the songs and the cheers from the fan, and it is absolutely amazing. Fireworks are not allowed inside the stadium, and neither is any alcoholic drinks. You can have your beer before you enter the stadium, but once you "cross over" you will be asked to either drink it all at once or throw it out. As I have said in other reviews, you must experience a Portuguese football game at least once or twice to really experience a part of the Portuguese culture.

I've had the opportunity.....wait....no.....privilege to attend some of the worlds greatest football venues. The atmosphere, fans and of course sight lines all can make and break your experience. The fans in Lisboa do it right and the architect did a masterful job at creating an amazing stadium. Even if you are not a fan of the sport, attending a S.L. Benfica game in it's home stadium should be added to any sports fan bucket list.

Thi stadium was built to replace the old Estádio da Luz (which means Stadium of Light, if you know your football you'll notice that it is the same name of Sunderland's stadium, the reason is that Sunderland liked the stadium so much that they wanted theirs to be renamed like Benfica's) for the Euro 2004, that was held in Portugal. This is one of many purpose built stadiums across the country for the venue. I went there for the opening match of this 2008-2009 season of the Portuguese football league. It was SLBenfica versus FC Porto and it was a crappy match. But the experience of being in that stadium was amazing, they even tried to do an opening just like an American sports show (NFL kinda stuff) and it looked nice. Vitória (Benfica's mascot, which is a real eagle and her name means Victory) flew three time over the tiers and return to ther owner in the middle of the field. It was a pretty nice show. After having visited some other stadiums, like the Millennium (at Cardiff) I have to say that Estádio da Luz has a really good level of technology, security and design. It is pretty to look at! And not only that you are just next to a multitude of shops at the Colombo shopping center on the other side of the road. The stadium also has an Adidas shop, a Media Markt and 2 or 3 Restaurants. If you like architecture and don't mind football go there for a match, you won't regret it! (try to go for one of the big ones if you can but be on the lookout for trouble amongst fans)

Empressive stadium. They have good facilities and a great fan shop that sell club merchandise. Always friendly helpful staff around to help out.Brilliant views from the stands.
