Estadio Da Luz - A Fitting Setting. Stadiums and sports venues Review

Whilst visiting Lisbon I could'nt resist going and having a peek at the re-built Stadium of Light, home of Benfica and host of the Euro 2004 Championship Final.

The paint looked barely to be be dry on this stunning venue, infact workmen were busy still putting the finishing touches to it.

I thought that there would possibly be a Stadium tour or some commercial venture but was disapointed to find out that there was not. Really wanted to get a look inside the stadium though so tried to speak nicely to a security guard, he directed us to a resturant at 'Gate 11' which overlooks the pitch.

Managed to go into the resturant, take a few snaps and have a look whilst dodging inbetween bewildered diners, haha, you gotta do it.

I like Stadiums, they are places of worship, and this one ticks all the boxes. Would love to sample the atmosphere of a big match here, but Scotland got stuffed from Holland in the Euro 2004 play-off so that scuppered my chances, oh well.

Equipment: Just your camera required for this one.

Address: Benfica District

Directions: Easy to get to using the Metro System.

Theme: Sports Watching

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
