"To experience Argentina's soccer fervor I check the schedule at the Estadio Monumental, which I note is the largest stadium in South America with a capacity for 86,000 fans." - Harrison Pierce

Honest Frequent Traveler Review:
By all means if you are visiting Argentina football is a mandatory stop. This is the national team’s stadium and the River Plate home.
Take the full tour, it is worthy. The tour itself is a bit fast and lacks soul ( Emotions) but the museum very well compensates specially at the 4K experience.

Great experience!! It's a very modern venue.
There was no line to enter the stadium.
Our seats were very close to the court.
Inside, you can buy hamburgers, fries, empanadas, and non-alcoholic drinks.

This beautiful, and World's famous stadium is the place to see in Buenos Aires. Looks amazing on the inside, and it was such a pleasure to be there today and have a tour around it. Actually, it wasn't tour really, it was stands and the court, no tunnels, and lockerrooms, but better then Bombonera, which only socios can enter the stadium! 😡😡

Experience a football match in Argentina is something worth to do. River stadium is one of the most important fields there. Not easy to get tickets since normally all games are crowded already however it also has a beautiful museum with lots of iconic pieces to see, trophies, jerseys, pictures and also can see the field from the inside
