Estádio da Luz

Lisbon


SL Benfica play at this 65,000-seat stadium in the northwestern Benfica district, which also houses the club's well-done museum (https://museubenfica.slbenfica.pt), where you can visit the soaring bald eagle mascot, Vitória. The stadium hosted the 2014 Champions League final and was voted the most beautiful stadium in Europe the same year by French sporting newspaper, L'Équipe. Seeing a match here is epic.

Stadium tours are available. The nearest metro station is Colégio Militar-Luz.
