🎒 Before you go
Tour operations may change due to matches, concerts and event setup. Before travelling, confirm that the tour is running and which areas will be open that day.
🧭 How I would do it
My plan: 1½–2 hours. If there is a match on another date, keep the two experiences separate: visiting an empty stadium and experiencing a match are completely different things.
