    Maracanã

    What seems like a dream for many fans is a reality when doing the Maracanã Tour. Take a 45-minute visit to the gigantic Maracanã Stadium, one of the most iconic football temples in South America, built to open the 1950 World Cup. The site holds the record for the largest attendance at a World Cup Final thanks to the almost 200.000 paying spectators who crammed into the stadium in 1950. In addition, it hosted the FIFA World Cup Final again in 2014 and the Rio Olympic Games in 2016. You can visit one of the changing rooms, the mixed zone, the players' warm-up room and the press conference room. In the locker room, footage of historic soccer moments serves as a warm-up for the highlight of the day: entering the field. In addition to the lawn, visitors will also be able to check out items related to players who marked the stadium's history, such as Pelé, Garrincha and Zico.

    Visit the São Januário stadium and take a 1hour and 20 minutes guided tour on a true journey through history that will make you rethink what it is to watch a football match. The tour seeks to meet the expectations of different audiences, taking visitors on an intense and surprising journey that pleases people from all over the world. With its differentiated founding history, São Januário was the stage not only for football spectacles, but also for important historical events for Brazil over time, such as major political manifestations for the country. In addition, the Historic Stadium distanced itself from the traditional use of a sports arena and positioned itself, throughout its glorious existence, as part of Brazilian political and cultural history, becoming a true national heritage. The tour passes by Bust of the Admiral, Hall of Trophies, Tribune of Honor, Gymnasium, Football Dressing Room, Statue Romário, Panel of Idols, Vasco College, Vasco Chapel, Aquatic Park and Megastore
