Expedia® Live Bayern
Bayern’s home since the start of the 2005/06 season, the colourful Fußball Arena München was the venue for six games at the 2006 FIFA World Cup and then the 2012 UEFA Champions League final, plus four games at UEFA EURO 2020. It will stage six more as Germany hosts UEFA EURO 2024. Located in the north of the city, in an area dominated by offices and a retail park, the stadium is a good distance from Munich’s main attractions, with the central Marienplatz square perhaps the best place to start exploring.

Benfica
Estádio da Luz, officially named Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, is located around 8km north of Lisbon centre, nearby to the city’s other major stadium, Estádio José Alvalade. It is surrounded by motorways and apartment blocks, meaning pre and post-match eating and drinking is best done in the heart of Lisbon. However, if you do find yourself at the stadium with time to spare, head to the Colombo shopping centre right across the Av. General Norton de Matos, where you can find a decent selection of varied restaurants, a few coffee shops, some bars, and a cinema.

Chelsea
Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge home is located in upmarket west London, just a stone’s throw from the River Thames and a brief tube ride away from iconic sights such as Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, as well as the bright lights of Leicester Square and Covent Garden. The stadium itself is nestled between a number of bustling areas, but it is the nearby King’s Road which offers the widest array of high-end shops, bars and eateries.

Club Brugge
The stadium that Club Brugge share with their neighbours Cercle Brugge stands in a residential about 3km west of the picturesque centre of Bruges, which is famous for its canals, medieval buildings and cobbled streets. Easily accessibly by bus. the venue was originally the Olympiastadion when it was built in the 1970s, but was renamed in honour of 14th century folk hero Jan Breydel in time to stage games at UEFA EURO 2000.

Dortmund
Standing on the same site as the Westfalenstadion, which staged games at the 1974 World Cup as well as Liverpool’s UEFA Cup final triumph in the 2001, the new-look BVB Stadion Dortmund is the most capacious venue in the Bundesliga. Home to the club’s famous ‘Yellow Wall’ of supporters, the arena is around 3km from central Dortmund, but there are plenty of food and drink facilities nearby, serving football supporters and patrons of the nearby Westfalenhallen exhibition centre.

Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt’s ground stands on the site of the old Waldstadion, which was the club’s home from 1925, and remains part of a major out-of-town sports complex. It is extremely convenient for international travellers, since it is served by the same S-8 and S-9 train services as the nearby Frankfurt Airport, but the 5km journey into the city centre is recommended to visit some great museums and a magnificent cathedral, or just to soak up the atmosphere at the central Römerberg square.

Inter
The iconic San Siro, also known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, is not located in one of the most eye-catching areas of Milan but with the new underground station just a stone’s throw from the stadium, it is straightforward to access all the most important sites in the fashion capital of Italy. This includes all-time classics like Piazza del Duomo, Castello Sforzesco, La Scala, Brera, Arco della Pace and the Navigli, parks such as Sempione and Palestro, worldwide famous shopping streets and more modern areas like the one surrounding the Bosco Verticale, a new landmark on the Milan skyline.

Leipzig
Built to replace the city’s Zentralstadion, which was part of a multi-sport complex and occasionally hosted national team games in the old East Germany, the venue staged games at the 2006 World Cup, and became home to RB Leipzig following the club’s foundation in 2009. The stadium stands in a largely residential area, around 2km from central Leipzig, where the buzzy Karl-Liebknecht-Straße is a great place to get a feel for the city.

Liverpool
The Reds’ home is a couple of kilometres north of Liverpool city centre, and famously stands across Stanley Park from Goodison Park, the ground belonging to their local rivals Everton. There has been a stadium on this site since 1884, and while the current Anfield is a modern venue, it still stands (in traditional British fashion) in the middle of a residential area, which can be atmospheric on a matchnight. Visitors may prefer to spend their days in the centre of the city, for the Albert Dock and the many landmarks associated with Liverpool’s biggest cultural export, The Beatles.

Man City
Originally known as Eastlands after it was built to stage the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the venue was converted to a football stadium as it replaced Maine Road as Manchester City’s home. The stadium is easily accessible from central Manchester by bus or through the urban rail network, Metrolink, while the journey is around 30 minutes on foot. The area around the venue is reasonably busy on matchdays, but the centre of the city has plenty to offer in terms of attractions. Old Trafford, the home of City’s rivals Man United, lies to the west of the city centre.

Napoli
The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, located in the picturesque Fuorigrotta area and recently renewed and renamed in honour of the Napoli legend, is an experience both inside and out. The city itself has plenty of attractions, from the central Piazza del Plebiscito and Castel dell’Ovo to Via San Gregorio Armenio, the Fontanelle cemetery and the Cappella Sansevero with the famous Cristo Velato – to name just a few. But you can also continue the Maradona tour in town with several murals, a ‘sanctuary’ in the Quartieri Spagnoli and the Bar Nilo, which features a strand of the iconic former No10’s hair. The pizza, pretty much everywhere in Naples, is an unmissable experience.

Paris
The home of Paris Saint-Germain, the Parc des Princes has staged six European club finals as well as two EURO deciders, in 1960 and 1984. Situated in the south-west of the French capital, the stadium owes its name to its location on terrain used as a royal hunting ground in the 18th century. In its current form, it has sat on the Paris ring road since 1972, close to several more scenic areas such as the Serres d’Auteuil and Roland-Garros tennis park.

Porto
Porto moved into their current stadium midway through the 2003/04 season, during which José Mourinho’s side built on winning the 2002/03 UEFA Cup by winning the UEFA Champions League. The Estádio do Dragão is 4km northeast of the centre of Porto, and is easily accessible on the city’s Metro service (use lines A,B, E and F). There is a major shopping centre next to the stadium, but the centre of the city is a must-see, with the atmospheric Ribeira neighbourhood on the banks of the River Duoro and the terrific seaside panorama visible from the Clérigos Tower.

Real Madrid
Named in honour of a former Real Madrid president, the gigantic Bernabéu stadium has staged games at the 1964 EURO and the 1982 FIFA World Cup as well as four European Cup and UEFA Champions League finals: in 1957, 1969, 1980 and 2010. Located in the Chamartin district, just off the Paseo de la Castellana, the stadium has plenty of bars, coffee shops and restaurants nearby, and is a leisurely walk away from central Madrid (or a brief trip aboard Metro line 10).

Tottenham
Built on the site of Spurs’ old White Hart Lane ground, the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium officially opened in April 2019, and is a multi-purpose arena that also stages NFL games and concerts, Lady Gaga and Guns n’ Roses starring at the same venue as Harry Kane. Spurs’ home district, Tottenham, is a largely residential area of northwest London, a good way away from the city’s main tourist destinations, but the nearby Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale underground stations are on the Victoria Line, which offers quick access to central London.
