As a football fan this amazing stadium ticks all the boxes. I only managed to view it from the outside but it was enough to appreciate it's splendour.A must visit if you are in Rio.

We bought a non guided tour for 24R$ (about 8€) and it's nice to imagine how many historical football players played on that grass. It's an interesting visit but I felt a bit confusing due any signal to follow a normal tour. Only the official store selling merchandising is well indicated...

Every Football fanatic who visits Rio will want to do this stadium tour. Great value for money and so much history of Brazilian Football.

I went to see a game of one of Rio'a teams - Fluminense, and although it wasn't a big game and the stadium was not even close to be full I could feel the excitement of just being in there..don't buy tours though as people will try to rip you off, just buy your ticket at the door if it isn't a super important game.

I am not a die hard football fan but my partner and i wanted to visit and see the stadiumWe took the metro which is very cheap and easy only need to change once from copacabana and no change of platform if you cannot manage that then do not even think about taking the London underground or the Paris metro!It was very easy straight off the station down the ramp and into the stadium don't go in the heat of the day get up early and avoid the midday sunEntry was all of 24 reals = approx £6 it did not break the budget Yes it was hot on the pitch but it is Brazil not the Arctic so expect some heat The dressing rooms and lovely air conditioned interior was very pleasant and the cafe was clean and cheapWe enjoyed seeing this iconic stadium and would not have missed it Well worth a visit

We took the underground train here from our hotel. It took ages as trains were cancelled but eventually we made it down the long winding ramp to the entrance. Once inside there are exhibitions to enjoy and you can visit the different levels of the stadium. The changing rooms and the team lockers are on the tour and, best of all, the shirts worn by famous players. Why was Wayne Rooney's shirt bigger than everyone else's? You can go pitch-side and get a real feel what it is like to be the manager. The pitch wasn't in good condition when we were there, but it was very hot! Self guided tour is very straight forward. Just get the hand sets from reception.On the way back the train was rammed with people going to the beach! Sitting on their deck chairs in the train. Would have got a taxi had we seen one.

One of the wholly places of football. After Wembely, old and new, this is dream come true. Was at Maracana during World Cup, watching Bosna vs Argentina and Spain vs Chile, and both experiences were just as a new born baby. Very happy indeed. For football lover, it is a pilgrimage

The experience to visit this football monument was amazing, do not take a guide tour, you can do it by your self, visit all the level, take the maximum photos and enjoy the moment.

As a sports fan seeing the Maracana stadium was a bucket list item.I was lucky to see a Copa Libertadores game between Fluminense and Libertad of Paraquay.You must be a little careful around the stadium as it is not in the best part of town.Take a taxi to the gates or go with a guide.

My first experience watching a concert in the reformed stadium. While i loved the show, the experience of the place itself can be divided in Pros and Cons.Pros:- Arriving at the Stadium i was impressed by the organization. It was easy to find were i had to go for my area. - Everything look reasonably clean at the start.- No major confusion leaving the stadiumCons:- Lousy website, with conflicting time for the bands- Tickets with assign seats, which there weren't ( it was area only)- The sound wasn't well distributed, and the didn't turn on the stadium massive 4 LCD panels.- Very limited options at the food courts, and the drinks were hot before the main show started.

Obviously this stadium is a must-see if you are a football fanatic, and nothing people write will be able to dissuade you otherwise! But for people like me, who read the reviews on TripAdvisor, enjoy football when it's on but don't follow it passionately and thought "Oh, I'll go check it out", don't bother. It was very far away from where we were staying in Copacabana, so we took the Metro, and had to change lines twice in order to get there. From the Metro station, you can see the stadium as soon as you come out, but you need to walk about 6 mins to get to the entrance. In the hot afternoon summer sun, this was not worth it. We got to the entrance and read the ticket prices, and although I don't remember exactly how much it is to get in, it was MUCH more than we were willing to spend. We simply had to turn around, walk all the way back to the station and catch the train back into the city, as there are literally no other attractions close by. If you have an afternoon to spare, I'd recommend seeing something else.

Want do much if you are not football fan, nor supporter of the local team.It was saturday afternoon and empty stadium not much to write about. there is a statue one famous footballer named Zico. The stadium is not of a great design so not much to admire.and of course usual expensive memorabilia on sale.its way out of town. there is metro station near by,or take a taxi for about £10one way.

If you love football then you have to go visit the stadium. My advice is to not bother buying any of the expensive tickets / tours that some sites are offering. If you want to go to a game, the stadium is right next to the metro station (you can't miss it) and there are people at the ticket offices that speak English. In the stand don't expect to sit in the allocated space given on the ticket, thats not the Brazilian way. Just find a space and sit down. Lost a star because there didn't seem to be many bars or places to hang out before the game nearby, it was a bit of a walk to a local bar. Luckily I was with a local who knew where to go. I didn't do a stadium tour but had I not got a ticket for a game I would have.
