Atlético Madrid: A Capital Kick Off

The Metropolitano can wait until tomorrow. Tonight, Madrid shows you where Atlético's story really lives. After being met at the airport and transferred to your hotel, your CEO is on hand with the inside knowledge on where to go before the trip really begins. Take the afternoon to settle in at your own pace, then join your CEO for a walk to Fuente de Neptuno, where fans have gathered to celebrate famous wins for generations. From there, wind through the football bars of the city centre — there’s no better way to kick off your trip.

To ensure you don't miss any of the opening action, please plan to arrive in Madrid by 3:00 PM on arrival day.

Matchday is here and Atlético don't do it quietly. Your VIP experience begins with access to an exclusive lounge — complimentary hot and cold food, beer, wine and soft drinks in a relaxed premium setting. When it's time, take your seat and feel the full force of one of Spain's loudest fanbases. A behind-the-scenes stadium tour rounds out the day, on matchday or another day depending on kick-off. Football, unapologetically loud. Depending on kick-off time, your stadium tour may be included on this day. If that's not possible, don’t worry — it’ll be moved to another part of your football trip.

Like all top-level football fixtures, La Liga match schedules are subject to change. Initial fixture confirmations are typically announced 3–5 weeks before departure, with the final schedule usually confirmed 7–10 days before the match. Please refer to the opponent table on your itinerary page for the most up-to-date scheduled match day.

Yesterday: ninety unapologetically electric minutes. Today: a Spanish league match that's raw, close, and impossible not to get swept up in, with the football fast and the chants never stopping. Afterwards, your CEO gathers the group at a local football bar to catch La Liga fixtures alongside Madrid supporters.

Your Spanish league match may feature a fixture from one of Spain’s leagues below La Liga, offering an authentic local football experience through men’s or women’s matches depending on the schedule.

Boots off, appetite on — a private walking food tour through Madrid's Old Town and Literary Quarter awaits. Tapas, regional specialties and a stop for chocolate and churros (obviously), with stories behind every bite along the way. The rest of the day's yours: wander back to a favourite spot, or ease into an optional farewell dinner with your group and CEO, swapping stories from the week.

One last breakfast, then Madrid lets you go — for now.
