Brazil · MARACANã STADIUM TOURS
The tour walks the tunnel and the pitch-side seats; the match ticket gives you eighty thousand people and a drum line. The 13 below cover both, with prices, timings and the days the stadium closes to visitors.
Enter Rio’s legendary Maracanã through Gate A for a roughly 40-minute, mostly self-guided visit. Walk the players’ tunnel, see the pitch, changing rooms, dugout, press room, and football museum. You can explore at your own pace, with signs in Portuguese and English and optional paid photos.
“It was a long time back but I really enjoyed this trip !”
Enter Rio’s Maracanã Stadium at your own pace with a skip-the-line voucher. See club shirts, locker rooms, the warm-up room, press room, pitch, stands, and memorabilia linked to Pelé, Garrincha, and Zico. Allow about 40 minutes to an hour, or longer if you read every display.
“If you’re a football/soccer/futbol fan, this is a must see tour! Buying the ticket through here might be helpful if it’s a busy day, but otherwise, you can just buy it at the box office. Each tour is held every 15 minutes, although it is a self-guided tour and lasts about 40 minutes. Nonetheless, it was great seeing such a historic stadium where World Cup finals have been held!”
Enter Rio’s legendary Maracanã with a live guide in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, or Italian. Visit the museum, locker room area, warm-up room, press room, stands, and pitch, then try football activities such as taking penalties. Hotel pickup is available in selected beach districts.
“We were picked up at our hotel on time, Luis was the best guide, very informative and helpful. We spent around 1.5 hours at the stadium, visited the museum, wall of fame, dressing rooms, press rooms, tribune and made some great pictures and memories. At the end we visited the gift shop before heading back to the hotels.”
Meet guide Davi, Yan, Gustavo, Bruno, or another English-speaking host at Praça Varnhagem, walk to Maracanã, and join local fans for a Flamengo or Fluminense match. Your ticket, one welcome drink, stadium background, and small-group support are included.
“The best experience/football game me and my husband have been to! Recommend. Can get the tickets cheaper online but hard to navigate where to go and where to sit so that’s where a guide is perfect. They can also help translate for you and answer any questions you have about the experience.”

“This experience was so much more than I could have imagined. The Brazilian football environment is unlike anything I have ever experienced. The tour guide gave great instructions to the pre-match meet-up location. He then ensured that entry into the stadium was smooth. The Maracana is unmatched in terms of atmosphere. The supporters sang and chanted before, during, and after the match. I was in awe while also watching an exciting match. I hope to visit Rio de Janeiro in the future and I will gladly book this experience again.”

“E’ stata un ‘esperienza terribile, fallimentare. Non c’è stata nessuna guida solo un’autista in pratica che parla solo spagnolo e deride i turisti. Ignorante come poche . Non sono arrivati alle 13 ma alle 15:30. Siamo entrati alle 16:40 ed alle 17:15 ci hanno fatto uscire. La guida voleva dei soldi in più e non è neanche entrato con noi. Sul biglietto c’era scritto che saremmo stati liberi di visitare 5 ore ma neanche 40 minuti . Ha detto che (siamo tutti testimoni) se non le paghiamo comunque il servizio anche se non abbiamo usufruito del biglietto e neanche della guida ci denuncia . Sono io che denuncio lei”
