Mestalla Stadium — Attraction in Valencia

Estadio de Mestalla is located just east of Valencia’s historic city centre. The walk from the cathedral or the main railway station (Estación del Norte) takes no more than 30 minutes.

Alternatively, the stadium can be reached by metro. Metro stop Aragón, on line 5, lies next to the stadium. Line 5 will also bring you to the airport. Another option is taking metro line 3 to station Facultats, which lies a 5-minute walk north of the stadium.

Estadio de Mestalla is located in a dense urban neighbourhood close to Valencia’s city centre. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants in the area of the stadium, while more serious nightlife can be found a small walk away in the historic centre.

There is, for example, a pocket of nightlife around Plaza de Canovas at less than 10 minutes walking from the stadium, but there is much more further on in the historic centre, while there is a club scene around the city’s beaches.

There is a wide variety of hotels in Valencia, and some very good options close to Mestalla. Hospes Palau de la Mar, Hotel Husa Dimar, and SH Valencia Palace are on the edge of the historic centre and less than 10 minutes walking from the stadium. Hotel Renasa, NH Villacarlos, and Hotel Kris Consul del Mar are equally close, somewhat cheaper, but a little further away...

As a tourist, you'll probably find it hard to work your way around the stadium. There weren't any signs or maps to help you find your gate, I had to ask a steward to help me and I was lucky to find one of the few who could speak English.

Our seats were on the top level and it was quite a workout, there is a lift to take you to the top but expect a long queue. If you're looking to grab a bite and a drink in the stadium I'd advise you to bring your own food as the choices are extremely limited (soft drinks, sandwiches and pizza).

The atmosphere got better as the game went on, the ultras behind the goal didn't stop singing from start to finish.

Overall a great experience, just be mindful that the metro will be extremely busy. We got there intending to take the train but ended up walking back to the flat because the queue spilled...

My private tour of Mastella Stadium was an unforgettable experience, offering a deep dive into the rich history and legacy of this iconic football club. From the moment I set foot inside, the tour felt exclusive and personalized. The highlight was undoubtedly the awe-inspiring statue of Vicente Navarro Aparicio, a tribute to a true football legend. Exploring the football players' locker rooms provided a unique perspective into the inner sanctum of the athletes, where the team's spirit is nurtured. Additionally, the collection of trophies and the detailed accounts of the club's illustrious history and equipment evoked a profound sense of appreciation for Mastella's storied past. This tour left me with a newfound admiration for the club, and I would highly recommend it to any...
