Club supporters aside, since the new Águias stadium opened its doors in 2003, it has received over 10 million visitors, at least according to the venue’s registry. Plan your visit to coincide with a game and you’ll take the experience to the next level - why not even buy a scarf with the hashtag #aculpaédobenfica (it’s Benfica’s fault), which became popular last year when rival teams FC Porto and Sporting accused the club of corruption. If you don’t think you can handle the thrill of a game, opt for a tour of the Cosme Damião Museum and a few moments of reflection next to the statue of legendary player Eusébio, aka The King.
