The experience

Pacaembu Stadium is an Art Deco landmark in the Pacaembu neighborhood, built into the city's fabric and owned by São Paulo's Municipal Prefecture. The tour takes you inside the stadium itself (the grounds, the spaces where players and officials move), so you see the scale and the detail that photographs don't convey. From there, the Football Museum opens up the practice, history and curiosities of the game in Brazil and beyond, a dedicated space built around what the sport means to the country.

You choose between Arena Corinthians and Morumbi Stadium for the second venue, each one a different window into how modern football operates in the city. The tour runs about six hours, shaped by traffic and your own pace. The guide arranges the sequence to fit the day. If you want to see a match, the operator can set that up in advance: a live game adds a layer most stadium tours don't reach. All fees and taxes are included. Meals and drinks are on you.

The guide speaks your language (English, Spanish, Portuguese or French), and pickup from your hotel is part of the booking. Children from age one are welcome, and the stadiums and museum are wheelchair accessible throughout, with surfaces and areas designed for easy movement.
