Pitch-level perspective with accessible seating vantage points highlighted at Bernabéu

The renovated infrastructure prioritized inclusive flow while maintaining match atmosphere.

1) Approach & Entry

  • Step‑free routes signposted from major metro exits.
  • Dedicated assistance point—request guidance or mobility support.

2) Vertical Movement

  • Elevator cores positioned to reduce cross‑flow with high density staircases.
  • Staff coordination at busy intervals (halftime / final whistle).

3) Seating Policy

Aspect Detail
Companion Allocation Typically one seat adjacent (confirm policy)
Sightlines Elevated platforms avoid obstruction by standing fans
Booking Advance reservation strongly advised

4) Sensory Considerations

  • Peak noise: anthem & goal celebrations—use ear protection if sensitive.
  • LED facade & ribbon displays: brief intense brightness bursts; position accordingly.

5) Restrooms & Facilities

  • Accessible restrooms mapped in app / signage—identify nearest before kickoff.
  • Water access points—hydration control for comfort.

6) Timing Tips

  • Arrive earlier (90 min) for high‑demand matches to smooth assistance requests.
  • Exit strategy: delay 10–15 minutes post whistle to avoid surge.

Bottom Line

Plan route + seating early, leverage staff assistance, and modulate noise/light exposure for comfort.
