Mestalla Stadium

Mestalla is much more than just Valencia CF’s stadium. It is one of the great historic temples of Spanish football and one of the few century-old stadiums that still host La Liga matches (at least until the end of the 2026/27 season).

The ground was inaugurated in 1923 with a Valencia v Levante match that ended 1–0, and since then it has witnessed much of the club’s history. Some of the greatest legends of world football have graced its pitch, and it has hosted European nights, cup finals and matches for the Spanish national team.

Its famous vertical stands bring the crowd very close to the pitch and help to create one of LaLiga’s most distinctive atmospheres. The stadium remains the heart of Valencia’s footballing spirit whilst the club awaits the completion of its new stadium.

HOW TO GET THERE
Mestalla is situated very close to the centre of Valencia, in the El Pla del Real district. It is easily accessible by metro and tram, and several bus routes stop in the vicinity.

From the historic centre, it’s about a 20–25-minute walk. You can also cover much of the route through the Turia Gardens.

And if you want to soak up the matchday atmosphere, Avenida de Aragón and the area around Mestalla start to fill up with fans well before kick-off.
