Arsenal - Emirates Stadium

About Arsenal - Emirates Stadium

Arsenal - Emirates Stadium is the home ground of Arsenal Football Club, one of the most successful clubs in English football. It opened in 2006 in the Holloway area of north London, replacing the club's old Highbury stadium just a short walk away. With a capacity of around 60,000, it's one of the largest club grounds in the country, and on non-match days it functions as a visitor attraction, hosting tours and a club museum alongside corporate and event spaces.

The stadium tour takes you into parts of the ground that fans only ever glimpse on television: the home and away dressing rooms, the players' tunnel, the pitchside dugouts, and the directors' box. The museum traces the club's history from its origins in Woolwich in the 1880s through its north London era, with trophies, old kits, and memorabilia tied to famous players and managers. Audio guides are usually included and available in several languages, and some tours run as self-guided visits while others are led by a guide, occasionally a former player.

Getting there is straightforward. The stadium sits close to Arsenal station on the Piccadilly line, with Holloway Road and Finsbury Park also within walking distance, so most visitors arrive by Tube rather than car. Tours generally run on non-match days, and availability changes around the fixture list, so it's worth checking the schedule before you plan your trip. Allow somewhere between an hour and a half and two hours if you want to see both the stadium tour and the museum without rushing.
