Important Notes
Note: Pass must be presented for entry.
Because of the marble, the temperature in the stadium during the summer can be very high. The best times to visit the stadium during the summer months are in the morning and late afternoon, when temperatures are lower. On warm days, we suggest you bring a bottle of water and sun protection. For your own safety during the winter months, extra care is advised on the steps, especially in wet weather.

Don't forget to take a photo on the podium against the backdrop of the stadium, just like Olympic medallists. Run around the stadium to feel the history!
