Benfica’s stadium, Estádio da Luz

Estádio da Luz, officially referred to as Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, is the largest stadium in Portugal. It was constructed to serve as Benfica ‘s new home and to host the Euro 2004 final. The new stadium was built on the site of the previous one and now has a seating capacity of 64,642.

If you travel to watch a SL Benfica match live, you’ll be amazed by the atmosphere as the two eagle mascots Águia Vitória and Águia Gloriosa, fly over the fans at the start of each game. It is of course possible to take a Benfica stadium tour during your football trip. Read more about it below.

How to get to the Estádio da Luz?

Estádio da Luz is an iconic landmark in Lisbon, situated approximately 8 kilometers north of the city center. The stadium is also relatively close to Lisbon’s other major stadium, Estádio José Alvalade, home to Sporting CP.

Lisbon’s public transport system is very efficient. The stadium has its own metro, train station, and plenty of bus stops. As with many other stadiums, we don’t recommend going to Estádio da Luz by car or taxi. If you’re taking a taxi though, there are specific drop-off locations around the venue.

Estádio da Luz address

Av. Eusébio da Silva Ferreira,

1500-313, Lisboa, Portugal.

By Metro

You can take the Blue Line and get off at either Colégio Militar or Luz station, both of which are a short walk from the stadium entrance. Please note that after the Benfica games, the metro tends to get crowded, so you might want to walk to a nearby station or wait until the rush eases.

By Bus

Operating from 5 AM to 1 AM, buses are the most convenient option. You can reach the Benfica stadium using the following routes: 726, 729, 750, 765, 767, 786, and 799, with the nearest station being the Colégio Militar bus terminal.

By Train

You can catch a direct train to the nearest stations (Benfica or Sete-Rios) from Lisboa-Oriente station. The trip takes approximately 15-20 minutes. From there, Benfica’s stadium is just a short walk away.
