What happens if I’m late?

Arrive at least 15 minutes early. Groups start on schedule to coordinate with stadium security. If you’re late, you might need to join the next available group depending on capacity.

Is the tour suitable for kids?

Yes. Kids love the scale of the stadium and interactive parts like the player tunnel. It’s educational, safe, and stroller-friendly.

How much walking is involved?

Expect around 1 kilometer of walking spread across 60–75 minutes. There are stairs, but elevators are available for accessibility.

Can I access restricted areas like the pitch or locker rooms?

Guided tours include locker room and pitch-edge access but not the playing surface itself. Certain areas may close during maintenance or event days.

What are the qualifications of my guide?

All guides are licensed professionals fluent in English and Portuguese, with deep knowledge of Brazilian football history and Maracanã’s legacy.

Why book a guided tour instead of general entry?

Because this isn’t just sightseeing, it’s storytelling. The guided tour adds history, local flavor, and context that bring Maracanã to life in ways self-guided visits can’t.

Things to keep in mind when you go on your Maracanã Stadium tour

Maracanã may be a football temple, but it’s also visitor-friendly. You’ll find clean, well-marked restrooms near the entrance gates, museum hall, and upper concourses. Water fountains are located beside Gate 2 and in the museum corridor — ideal for quick refills before heading to the stands.

After the tour, stop by the Maracanã Café, right next to the souvenir shop. It’s small but perfect for a quick espresso or a chilled Guaraná before leaving. The official Maracanã store sells jerseys, caps, and collectible memorabilia — including limited-edition Flamengo and Fluminense shirts you won’t find elsewhere.

Accessibility is excellent. The stadium has elevators, ramps, and wide aisles for wheelchair users. If you need assistance, notify staff when you arrive; they’ll make sure you get an easy route around the stands and museum.

Bring light essentials — this tour is comfortable but active.

Valid ID or booking confirmation: You’ll need this at the check-in counter by Gate 2.
Comfortable sneakers: Expect to walk through stands, corridors, and locker rooms. The floors can get slippery during rain, so avoid sandals.
Camera or smartphone: Photography is allowed throughout most areas, though flash is discouraged in museum sections.
Water bottle: Refillable bottles are fine; there are fountains on site.
Football jersey: Totally optional, but wearing your favorite team’s colors makes photos extra memorable.
Weather gear: The stadium’s bowl is open — a cap and sunscreen for sunny days, or a light jacket if you’re visiting during Rio’s quick showers.

To protect the facilities and keep tours running smoothly:

Stay with your guide. Certain areas are accessible only in groups, especially near locker rooms or tunnels.
Respect barriers. You’ll reach the pitch edge but not the turf itself — that’s reserved for players and maintenance teams.
No food or drinks inside museum rooms. Finish your snack before entering.
Flash and tripods aren’t permitted inside the museum or press room.
Security checks: Bags may be inspected before entry. Avoid carrying large backpacks.
Event restrictions: On match days or rehearsals, a few zones (like locker rooms) may close temporarily, but your guide will adjust the route.

There’s no strict rule — this is football, after all — but comfort is key.

Wear breathable clothes and shoes suitable for walking. A team jersey (Brazil, Flamengo, Fluminense, or even your hometown club) always earns a smile from the guides. If you plan to take photos pitchside, avoid pure white outfits — reflections from the sun and turf can wash out images.
