San Mamés is the home stadium of Athletic Club, one of only three founding members of Spain's La Liga never to have been relegated, and famous for fielding only Basque-formed players. The stadium and museum tour lets visitors walk through the changing rooms, tunnel, and pitch-side areas of the current stadium (opened 2013, replacing the historic "Catedral del Fútbol" that stood on an adjacent site), while the museum traces the club's history back to 1898.
What to See: Top Highlights
Pitch-Side & Players' Tunnel
Walk through the same tunnel and pitch-side access the players use on match day, included on both the self-guided and guided tour options.
The Club Museum
Trophies, historic shirts, and exhibits spanning Athletic Club's history since 1898, including its distinctive Basque-only-player policy.
34-Point Audio Guide
The self-guided Museum + Tour option includes an audio guide covering 34 points around the stadium, available in multiple languages.

Is the San Mamés Stadium Tour Included on the Bilbao Bizkaia Card?
Compare Bilbao PassesNot confirmed. San Mamés and Athletic Club do not appear anywhere on the Bilbao Bizkaia Card's own current benefits page, which enumerates its museum-specific perk narrowly (a skip-the-line Fastpass for the Guggenheim and Fine Arts Museum only). Budget for the standard ticket price.
Bilbao Bizkaia Card
Not confirmed by the provider. Not mentioned anywhere on the Bilbao Bizkaia Card's own current benefits/advantage page, which otherwise enumerates its museum-specific benefit narrowly (Fastpass for the Guggenheim and Fine Arts Museum only). A broader, unquantified 'partner discounts' list is advertised but not published in a verifiable form this session, so inclusion or exclusion for the San Mamés stadium tour specifically could not be confirmed either way.
