Description
This experience combines a visit to the River Plate Museum and access to the Monumental Stadium in the Núñez neighborhood. Visitors can explore a “time tunnel” at their own pace, spanning from 1901 to the present, featuring displays of international trophies, iconic jerseys, and memorabilia from legendary players.
The Monumental Stadium, famously known as the largest in Argentina, with a capacity of up to 85,000 spectators, offers access to its stands to enjoy an impressive view of the pitch.
The museum houses the club’s most treasured items, celebrating River Plate’s 72 championship titles, and includes a 360° cinema room where a short film captures the spirit and passion of River fans.
Both the museum and stadium operate on different schedules, and hours may be subject to change on match days or during stadium maintenance. This experience includes admission to both areas. The museum also features informative displays in English and Portuguese.

Itinerary
The River Museum is open every day from 10 AM to 7 PM, while the Monumental Stadium is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM.
Stadium tours depart every 30 minutes and last approximately 40 minutes.
At the River Plate Museum, the visit is self-guided, allowing you to explore at your own pace. It begins with a fascinating time tunnel that takes you back to the club’s origins in 1901 and walks you through its most recent achievements. The tour features themed rooms divided by decades—from 1900–1929 up to the third millennium—highlighting the history and evolution of the club, which was founded on May 25, 1901, as a merger between the Santa Rosa and La Rosales clubs in the La Boca neighborhood.
As you walk through the time tunnel, you’ll discover River Plate’s greatest figures, the legendary teams that shaped its legacy, unforgettable goals, victories, and the most prestigious national and international trophies. You can also search for specific match results, including historic Superclásicos like the first one in 1913, which River won 2–1.
The museum also displays scale models of every stadium River has played in, from their first field in La Boca to the final move to the current Monumental Stadium in 1938. You’ll find showcases filled with international cups, legendary jerseys—including the evolution of the iconic red sash—historic boots worn by players like Gallardo, Almeida, Crespo, Saviola, and Aimar, and even a dedicated room for the epic 2018 Copa Libertadores final against Boca Juniors at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The museum also features a 360° cinema room that screens a film capturing the passion of millions of River Plate supporters.
Access to the Monumental Stadium begins from the stands and follows a guided schedule every 30 minutes, with each tour lasting about 40 minutes. From the stands, you’ll enjoy a full panoramic view of the field inside South America’s largest stadium, which can hold up to 85,000 spectators and was built between 1934 and 1938.
On River’s home matchdays, your visit might be rescheduled to another day. Concerts held at the stadium may impact visibility or temporarily limit access. On matchdays, the museum is open for a limited time and the stadium route may be altered due to maintenance work.
