When to visit the Mestalla Stadium
The calmest time to visit the Mestalla Stadium is January, when the crowd typically sits around 38/100. The busiest stretch is August. Hour to hour, the first hour after opening is usually the quietest; check the opening time on the official site.
The visit to Mestalla is the Mestalla Forever Tour, a guided visit of the most interesting areas of the stadium that the club describes as passing through the press room, the dressing room and the tunnel to the pitch. The official page lists start times month by month. For October, tours leave Monday to Friday at 10:45, 12:00, 13:15, 15:45 and 17:00, on Saturdays at 10:45, 11:30, 12:15, 13:00, 15:30, 16:15 and 17:00, and on Sundays only in the morning, from 10:45 to 13:00.
The yearly curve follows Valencia’s: August is the busiest month and January the calmest. The stadium also follows the football calendar: the official page marks days when the tour is closed for a home match, so a visit planned for a quiet month is best booked for a day without one.

How to visit the Mestalla Stadium with fewer people
- Check the schedule for your month on the official page before you buy: start times differ by weekday, and the page marks the days the tour is closed.
- The club says tours may be suspended or modified, in whole or in part, for organisational, operational or sporting reasons, and some dates skip areas such as the VIP box and the trophies.
- The tour is not fully accessible for people with reduced mobility: the club offers a different visit, with pre-booking required, to areas including pitchside, the home dressing room and the chapel.
