Maracanã Stadium Tour in Rio de Janeiro: What to See and How to Book

Imagine standing a few steps from the pitch where Brazil's football history was written. The Maracanã Stadium Tour is one of the most memorable things to do in Rio de Janeiro, even if you are not a football fan. Venha para o Rio runs this tour with a licensed guide, and we can tailor it to your date and your group.

Maracanã Tour under new management

Stadium visits are now operated by Viva Maracanã, part of Grupo Viva, whose new operation started on October 1. The experience combines sport, entertainment, memory and culture, with the focus on the visitor.

What you can see on the Maracanã Tour

Depending on the circuit open on the day of your visit, the tour may include:

• The players' dressing room
• Backstage areas such as the mixed zone and the press conference room
• The area right next to the pitch
• Football memorabilia and tributes to legendary players

Matches, events and maintenance can change which areas are open, so we always confirm the conditions before you book.

More than a football tour

The Maracanã opened on June 16, 1950. It hosted the decisive match of the 1950 World Cup, the 2014 World Cup final and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. That is why the tour works for families, couples, friends and, of course, football lovers.
