Estádio da Luz
Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica
The home ground of the Benfica club, seating about 65,000; the stadium tour and club museum are a must-visit for fans.
Estádio da Luz opened in 2003 and is the home of the Portuguese giants Benfica. It hosted the final of the 2004 European Championship and the 2014 Champions League final. The stadium tour takes visitors into the stands, dressing rooms, player tunnel and media zone. The Cosme Damião Museum inside displays the club's century of history, its European Cup trophies and items related to Eusébio, and its interactive galleries are well designed. Tours and the museum can be purchased separately or as a combined ticket. Match-day schedules change, so booking through the official website is recommended. Getting there: exit at Colégio Militar/Luz station on the metro blue line; it is about 20 minutes from the city centre.
