Girona: Montilivi Stadium Guided Tour

Montilivi Stadium opens its private football spaces for a one-hour visit, taking you from the press conference room and changing rooms through the players’ tunnel and onto the pitch. The best moment is the simple one: standing where Girona FC players prepare and play.

I like the access to restricted areas, especially the dressing rooms and tunnel. I also like the 360° Immersive Experience, which adds a visual, game-day feel rather than leaving you with a walk around empty seats.

The main caution is language. Tours are offered in English, Spanish, and Catalan, but one English-speaking customer reported that the visit was conducted mainly in Spanish. If English is essential to your experience, confirm the language before booking.

Key points

• Walk through the players’ tunnel: Follow the route Girona FC players take toward the pitch on match days.
• Visit the changing rooms: Sit in the area where players prepare, rather than simply viewing the stadium from the stands.
• Step onto the Montilivi pitch: The tour gives you a footballer’s-eye view from the playing surface.
• See the press conference room: Visit one of the stadium’s working media areas.
• Try the 360° Immersive Experience: This is designed to make you feel like a Girona FC player.
• Allow one hour and $21 per person: The price is reasonable for a focused stadium visit, particularly for Girona supporters.

Starting at Montilivi’s gates 4 and 5

Your visit begins between gates 4 and 5, close to the official stadium shop. This is a useful landmark, since a large stadium can have several entrances and the correct gate matters more than the broad address.

The activity ends at the same place, so you do not need to arrange a separate pickup or figure out where the tour finishes. Starting times vary, and you need to check availability for the date you want.

The visit lasts about one hour. That is long enough to see the main football spaces without turning the experience into a half-day commitment. I would place it before or after another Girona activity, rather than building an entire day around it.

The tour is led in English, Spanish, or Catalan. No guide names are provided, so you should not expect to request a particular guide. If you book an English-language visit, pay attention to the language shown for your selected time and confirm it if needed.

The press room puts football into context

The press conference room is one of the first places where the stadium becomes more than a collection of seats and concrete. This is where players and coaches face journalists after matches, explain decisions, and deal with the public side of football.

For a supporter, the room gives you a glimpse of Girona FC’s working routine. You are not only looking at the pitch where the action happens. You are also seeing the place where the club explains that action afterward.

The room itself may not take long to visit, but it helps set up the rest of the tour. Stadium tours work best when they show both the public spectacle and the behind-the-scenes machinery. The press room belongs to the second category.

If you are not especially interested in football, this stop may feel less powerful than the pitch or tunnel. Still, it adds a useful layer to the visit and gives the guide a place to explain the club’s identity and match-day operation.

Sitting in the Girona FC changing rooms

The changing rooms offer the most personal part of the tour. You can sit in the area where players prepare before a match, regroup at halftime, and leave their everyday routines behind before entering the stadium.

The supplied details do not specify individual player lockers, special displays, or current team memorabilia, so I would not book this expecting a museum-style collection. Think of it as access to the room itself and the feeling of occupying a normally private part of the stadium.

This stop should suit both serious supporters and families. Children can understand the appeal quickly: this is where professional players get ready. Adults who follow Girona FC will likely spend more time noticing the setting and imagining the pre-match build-up.

The value here comes from access. A normal match ticket lets you watch the players from the stands. This visit lets you see one of the places they occupy before they appear in front of the crowd.

Walking the tunnel toward the pitch

The tunnel is the natural dramatic center of the tour. You walk through the passage used by players as they leave the changing rooms and head out for each match.

That route matters because it connects the private and public sides of the stadium. A few minutes earlier, you are in the changing area. Then you follow the same basic path players take before entering the noise and pressure of the game.

The tour description specifically presents this as a chance to feel like a professional footballer. That is not a claim that you will recreate a full match-day atmosphere, but the route gives you the clearest physical connection to the team’s routine.

I would take this part slowly. Look down the tunnel toward the pitch, listen to the guide’s explanation, and leave room for photographs if permitted by the tour staff. The available information does not state specific photography rules, so ask before taking pictures in restricted rooms.

Stepping onto the Montilivi pitch

The pitch is the visit’s biggest payoff for many people. Instead of seeing Montilivi only from the seating areas, you step onto the playing surface and view the stadium from the same basic level as the footballers.

That change in viewpoint is important. From the stands, a football match looks like a finished show. From the pitch, you get a better sense of the space players must read, cover, and cross during a game.

The tour does not state how much time you spend on the pitch or exactly which parts of it are open. You should expect a guided visit rather than unrestricted access. Follow the guide’s instructions, since the playing surface is a working part of the stadium.

This is also the moment most likely to satisfy casual football fans. You do not need detailed knowledge of Girona FC to understand the appeal of standing on the pitch. The setting does the work.

Girona FC history inside a working stadium

The tour is built around the history of Girona Fútbol Club and the role of Montilivi in the club’s story. The supplied details do not list specific dates, trophies, players, or exhibits, so the amount of historical detail will depend on the guide and the group’s questions.

That is worth keeping in mind. This is a guided stadium access experience, not a separately described football museum. You are paying for the route through the stadium and the explanation that comes with it, rather than a large collection of historical objects.

For supporters, the club context gives meaning to each room. The press room is linked to public football life. The changing rooms connect to preparation. The tunnel links preparation to competition. The pitch completes the sequence.

For a first-time visitor to Girona, the tour also offers a quick introduction to one part of Catalan sporting culture. Girona FC is presented as a club with a distinct fan base in the heart of Catalonia. The visit is a small, focused way to understand how a football club fits into local identity.

The 360° Immersive Experience

The included 360° Immersive Experience is meant to make you feel like a Girona FC player. The information does not explain whether this uses a screen, projection, headset, or another format, so I would treat it as an added audiovisual feature rather than assume a particular technology.

Its main benefit is variety. Without it, a stadium tour can become a sequence of rooms and corridors. The 360° element gives the visit a more theatrical moment and may help younger children connect with the club’s match-day world.

It is included in the $21 price, so you are not paying an extra fee once inside. The experience may be more appealing to fans who want a modern, visual presentation, while football purists may care more about the tunnel and pitch.

Because the format is not described in detail, do not make this the sole reason to book. Consider it a bonus that rounds out the visit.

Is $21 a fair price?

At $21 per person, the tour sits in a reasonable range for a one-hour stadium visit. I see the value in the combination of a live guide, restricted areas, pitch access, the 360° feature, and a souvenir bracelet.

The price makes the most sense if you care about Girona FC or enjoy seeing how sports venues work behind the scenes. The changing rooms and tunnel provide access you cannot get from a standard match ticket, while the pitch gives you a different view of Montilivi.

The value is less certain if you want a long museum visit or a detailed football archive. The tour lasts only about one hour, and no extensive exhibit collection is specified. You are buying access and atmosphere, not an all-day attraction.

A free-cancellation policy up to 24 hours before the start also reduces the risk of fitting this into a changing Girona schedule. You can reserve now and pay later, which helps if you are still arranging your days.

The language issue deserves attention

Language is the one clear warning sign. English, Spanish, and Catalan are listed as tour languages, but one customer who paid for an English visit reported being the only English speaker and hearing the tour mainly in Spanish.

That does not prove every English-language departure will have the same problem. It does mean you should not ignore the issue if you need clear commentary. Check the selected language carefully, and consider contacting the provider, Bstadium.es, before booking if the historical explanation is central to your plans.

If you understand Spanish or Catalan, the risk is smaller. If you speak only English, the stadium access may still be enjoyable, but you could miss much of the club background and guide commentary if the language arrangement is not handled well.

The published overall score is 3.6 from 28 ratings, which suggests a mixed experience rather than universal approval. I would treat the language concern as the key factor behind your booking decision.

Who will enjoy this stadium visit?

I would recommend the tour most strongly to:

• Girona FC supporters who want to see the club’s private working spaces
• Football fans interested in stadium design and match-day routines
• Families with children who will enjoy the pitch, tunnel, and player setting
• Visitors with a free hour in Girona who want a local sports experience
• People who already have a match ticket and want more context before or after the game

I would be more cautious if you want a long, museum-heavy visit, need guaranteed English commentary, or have little interest in football. The tour is focused and compact. That is a strength for some schedules and a limitation for others.

Practical planning for your hour

Wear comfortable shoes, since the visit takes you through several stadium areas. The supplied information does not specify the amount of walking, stair use, or accessibility arrangements, so contact the provider if you have mobility needs or require a particular setup.

Arrive at gates 4 and 5 near the official stadium shop. The meeting point and ending point are the same, which keeps the plan simple. Starting times vary, so choose a departure that leaves you enough time to reach the stadium without rushing.

Keep the hour focused. You are likely to get more from the tour if you listen during the history sections, then save your photographs for natural pauses. Ask the guide questions about Girona FC and Montilivi while you are in the relevant rooms.

The souvenir bracelet is a small extra, not a major part of the value. It works as a simple reminder of the visit, especially for children, but the restricted spaces and pitch access are what justify the price.

Should you book the Montilivi Stadium Tour?

Book it if you want a short, accessible look behind the scenes at Girona FC. The tunnel, changing rooms, press room, pitch, and 360° feature create a well-rounded one-hour visit, and $21 is fair for that mix of access.

Before paying, check the tour language. English-only visitors should confirm that the guide will actually deliver the visit in English, since one reported experience fell short on that point.

For Girona supporters, I think the tour is a sensible addition to a city visit. For casual visitors, it is worth choosing only if the football angle appeals to you. The experience is not a full club museum, but it gives you something a normal stadium seat cannot: a direct look at the places where Girona FC players prepare, walk, and play.
