About the stadium

The Estadio de Mestalla, in Valencia, is one of the historic grounds of Spanish football. Opened in 1923, it is the oldest stadium still in use in LaLiga. It is home to Valencia CF, a club founded in 1919. Originally built for 17,000 spectators, it can now hold around 49,000 people in a ground known for the steep rake of its stands and the intensity of its atmosphere.

Mestalla sits on Avenida de Suecia, near the city centre and the Turia gardens, and has lived through a century of history. Damaged during the Civil War and then by the major flood of 1957, it was rebuilt and modernised several times, notably for the 1982 World Cup and the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

The current ground remains a powerful symbol of Valencian football while it waits for its successor, the Nou Mestalla, now scheduled to open in 2027.

Visitors can get an inside look at Valencia CF through the Mestalla Forever Tour, a guided tour of about an hour that opens the doors to the dressing rooms, the press room, the chapel where the players gather, and the edge of the pitch. The tour runs almost all year, every day except 1 and 6 January and 25 December.

Interesting tour. A pity we didn't get to go onto pitch...next time. Lovely guide who explained everything in English and Spanish.

A bit disappointing experience. The tour guide was great, however the tour itself is poor and doesn't show much. Sitting in the VIP stands, walk through the locker room and media room, walk out on the pitch where the bench is and walk through a small museum are not enough in my opinion. There's much more to be said and shown about this club, the history, the players. Especially because Valencia FC will move to new stadium in few years. Also big disappointment was a club store. Nothing related to it's former players like Mista, Aimar, Villa, Albelda, Canizares, etc. Still ok to see everything if you're football fan, especially since they're gonna move to the new stadium. Otherwise, not worth the money.

Stadium is very impressive and I like the fact it's clearly old. Gives it a soul. The tour though was pretty disappointing. One guide speaking Spanish and then repeating in English, to at least 50 people if not more. When the Spanish bit is over, people then start talking so you can't really hear him in English. All pretty whistle stop to see the main bits with limited info over the talking/time it takes to speak in both English and Spanish. Big shame.

I had been at the stadium with a group of kids. I did not only found the crew rude and unprofessional, but the visit was also not worth the ticket. We’ve been asked to be at the gate 10/15 min before the start and no one opened or said a word to us. I asked for a toilet for the kids and the answer was “we don’t have external wc”. For kids, I don’t really suggest this tour. It’s pity because Valencia is a great city to visit and the stadium should offer a very historical and fulfilling tour, especially for kids.

The stadium is very beautiful and the tour is interesting, but in my opinion not so much things to see for 16€, many bigger tours and museums cost the same for much more things to see.

The tour of the Mestalla was one of the things I was most looking forward to on my holiday in Valencia and it certainly didn't disappoint. The guides are excellent, delivering in both Spanish and English for the benefit of visitors. The level of access you get to an iconic stadium really makes it worthwhile.

Great guides. Fun tour, but to me there were too many photo ops, and not enough history. Also, I was really looking forward to go on the upper levels, because Mestalla is so steep. It's the one thing I knew it for, and it was completely neglected by the tour, so I didn't get to see the view of the pitch from up there. Very disappointing. 13.5 euros was a bit much. If I could have paid that to only see the view from the top stands for a few minutes, and skip everything else, I would've done it.

Pretty much your average fare tour. Could have been much better curated given the club’s history. Shop’s closed also. Unreal. The stadium itself is showing its age. Look at the sad-looking players dressing room and the gloom is amplified. C’mon Mestalla! You can do better than this.
