San Mamés Stadium & Athletic Club Museum
Estadio San Mamés
The home of the legendary Athletic Club, which fields only players from the Basque Country. The stadium's exterior changes colour at night, and it has a club museum and stadium tours.
The new San Mamés Stadium opened in 2013 and holds 53,000 spectators. Its façade is made of ETFE membrane, which is lit red and white at night. Athletic Club sticks to Basque players and is one of only three clubs that have never been relegated from La Liga. The club museum inside displays trophies and the club's history. You can add a stadium tour for about €15 to 20, though tours are not available on matchdays. Buy match tickets on the official website; the atmosphere on matchday is electric. San Mamés metro station is right next to the stadium.
Opening hours
Museum approx. 10:00–19:00; hours adjusted on match days
