4 must-visit sites for Real Madrid fans in Madrid

The home stadium of Real Madrid. Also a museum. Take a tour of the stadium, which includes a visit to the trophy room, a panoramic view of the pitch, the presidential box and the locker rooms. The stadium also has four restaurants and the Real café, all offering great views.

These are the training facilities where the players train every day and also the home of the future elite of the club. Every day you can see journalists and fans at the entrance gate, jostling to get a good picture or an autograph of the players as they arrive and leave.

Not every Madrid player becomes a coach after hanging up his cleats. Manolo Sanchis, who played as a sweeper and appeared in more than 700 official games from 1983 to 2001, took over his father’s bar. His father also was a Real Madrid player. A must-see for true Real Madrid fans.

It is not unusual to see the president of Real Madrid having lunch with players of his team at Mesón Txistu. This elegant Basque restaurant serves traditional cuisine from the north. Cristiano Ronaldo has been spotted here many times, enjoying a nice meal.
