Definatively a must if you are in Rio and have the time, better than the tour go see a match. The vibes are great and you’ll live the most truly brazilian experience: Football

Incredible! Maracana Stadium is maybe the most important soccer stadium in the world. It was the largest stadium on Earth for a long time, more than 200.000 spectators were able to watch soccer standing up, nowadays it has almost 80.000 seats. Maracana Stadium is also famous because in 1950 took place “maracanazo”, the saddest day in the history of Brazilian soccer where Uruguay defeated Brazil for the Soccer World Cup.

This is a place I dreamt of visiting when I was 9 years old after watching the Brasil v Italy WC Final in 1970. I fulfilled that dream in 2014 during the WC and visited three times Absolutely magical I shall die a happy guy

This is a great location to jog/walk/skate or just even visit as a tourist. The stadium is downright beautiful. Take you time visiting the lockers and display sections. Jerseys of legends are kept on display in the locker areas for visiting. You also get to get on the stadium turf and kick the ball around at the far end and sit in the pavilion. If you like soccer, you will love to visit here.
Take your time to soak in all of it. There is parking as well (for free!) about half a km away from the stadium in some of the quieter roads.response / report this review -

The classic stadium of Brasil. Went to see a match by local team Vasco da Gama, the venue was half full which is why I couldn’t get the whole idea of the crowded Maracanā. Anyways was a good experiencie. It isnt’t THAT big though.

The once illustrious Maracana stadium used to be a symbol of national pride to many of the Brazilian people. It is unfortunate to be seeing the stadium in its current state today. Formerly the biggest stadium in the world, the Maracana was built in 1948 in preparation for the 1950 Soccer World Cup. Since the year 2000, the iconic landmark underwent three pricy renovations. Just months after the conclusion of the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, all the work and money seems to be gone in vain. The once colorful chairs that blossomed its interior are missing from its place. To add to that, the once lush soccer field is nothing but brown mud. I, along with many others truly hope that things will change for the good so that the stadium can carry on to fulfill its days of glory.

After the last reform, it's become a lot more comfortable. Security during concerts and matches is heavily enhanced. Accessibility was improved to the point where seeing attendees in wheelchairs being comfortably treated became common place. Most lines have disappeared now that all sectors support e-ticket (a ticket you buy online and download to your phone, I highly recommend over physical tickets), but not all teams offer them yet. While most security staff won't be able to speak English, the entire place has been adequately "subtitled", so you won't have to. Main drawbacks remain being parking - the stadium is easily accessible via public transportation, which you should prefer -, food/drink prices, and lack of coverage against the rain.

Very good stadium, hosted one of the biggest games I have ever been to, Colombia Vs. Uruguay round of 16 for the 2014 World Cup, James Rodríguez scored the most important Goal in Colombian history.

This stadium is full of history and Brazilians have really strong feelings for it. As an architectonic work is not so majestic, it is seriously all about the atmosphere and the history.
If you love soccer this place is a must in Rio de Janeiro, totally worth the visit.response / report this review -

Great stadium, historical land mark in Rio.
Statue of Benini in front of the stadiu, actually called Mario Filho stadium after a famous journalist.
It isn't possible to enter the stadium for a guided visit or to see the field due to political complications.response / report this review -

Maracana Stadium was the place of very important events such as World Cups soccer matches/finals , Olympic Games Events and concerts. It is a place that you should visit if you love soccer!! Just be careful about the surroundings and metro stations as the stadium is located on a not very safe neighborhood.

Wonderful historic stadium to watch football (soccer) and get some idea of how important it is to Brazilians!
The crowd can be rowdy but mostly confine themselves to singing songs. The sections are divided so the fans of the two teams are separated. Make sure you buy a ticket to the right section (home team or visiting team) and do not wear clothes with the other team's colors!
The roof covers almost all the seats (unless you are right near the field) so it is OK to go on a rainy day.
Lots of police around so it is pretty safe, but it is still unwise to openly carry your smart phone or too much cash in your hands.response / report this review -

A great place to run, cycle and skate! There are always people exercising around the stadium. I've never had any problems there. There are vendors selling water, coconut water, snacks, beer. Well lit in the evening for cooler jogging. You can rent bicycles nearby. Of course very historical place! Many amazing events hosted here at Maracanã! Most recently the Olympics of course!
