Johan Cruijff ArenA | Home to AFC AJAX

If you're a fan of European football, visiting the Johan Cruijff ArenA is a must. The stadium, also known as Johan Cruyff Arena, has hosted countless important matches, including the 1998 UEFA Champions League Final, and has been a venue for the Dutch national team during crucial international fixtures. This place holds a whopping 55,885 people, and it's the home turf for the Dutch National Soccer Team and football club, AFC Ajax.

Want to check it out for yourself? You can book tickets online for a stadium tour or even a combo tour. Read on to learn more about your ticket options and other information to plan your ultimate Johan Cruijff ArenA adventure!

Why book a Johan Cruyff Arena tour

johan cruyff arena tour
  • See the home of Ajax FC: The Johan Cruijff ArenA is the home stadium of Ajax, one of the most successful football clubs in Europe. Touring the arena lets you walk in the footsteps of legendary players and see one of the most famous football grounds.
  • Behind-the-scenes access: The tour provides exclusive behind-the-scenes access to areas usually off-limits to the public, such as the locker rooms, player tunnel, press rooms, and VIP sections. 
  • Stadium history: Originally called the Amsterdam Arena, it got a name change in 2018 to honor Johan Cruijff, one of the greatest soccer stars ever.
  • Unique architecture: Opened in 1996, it was one of the first stadiums in Europe to feature a retractable roof. Designed by Dutch architect Rob Schuurman, the stadium resembles a flying saucer! Inside, the stairwells twist and turn like giant shoelaces.

Things to know before you book your Johan Cruyff Arena tour

  • Johan Cruijff ArenA is just a 10-minute train ride from Schiphol Airport and 30 minutes from the city center. It's a perfect add-on to your trip if you're looking for something awesome nearby.
  • There are three types of Johan Cruyff Arena tours: classic tours, VIP tours, and combo tickets. Make sure to book your tickets online so you can save a few Euros compared to buying them at the stadium.
  • The classic tour gives you access to the players' dressing rooms, mixed zone, players’ tunnel, the pitch, manager’s dug-out, press room, and the Ajax Gallery of Fame. It also offers a 10% discount at the official Ajax Fanshop & FEBO restaurant where you can try Dutch snacks like Kroketten and Frikandellen. You can also upgrade your tickets to a guided tour in English, Dutch, German, Spanish, or French with an experienced guide and access to other exclusive areas. Upgrading your tickets also gets you a complimentary Johan Cruijff ArenA scarf and a cold drink in the Skybox.
  • Wondering what’s the itinerary for your tour? First, you'll peek into the locker room, then it's on to the field where you get to snag a seat on the actual bench where the players sit! After that, you can explore the rest at your own pace. This includes the home dressing room, the press room, a trophy room, and a hall of fame wall celebrating legends. The tour ends at the club shop, because who could say no to souvenirs!
  • If you want the full Johan Cruijff ArenA experience, aim for a weekday visit. Guided tours are limited on weekends, so weekdays are your best bet. 
  • You can also book the 2-hour guided Johan Cruijff ArenA VIP tour which gives you access to exclusive areas like the Boardroom and the official dressing room of Ajax. This tour also includes a complimentary scarf and a complimentary soft drink in the Skybox.
  • For a more comprehensive experience, book the saver combo tickets to attractions like the Heineken Experience with 2 complimentary drinks and a multilingual audio guide or AMAZE Amsterdam. Please note that you must arrange your own transportation between the experiences on your combo tour. You can also book a classic or Johan Cruijff ArenA VIP tour with a 1-hour Amsterdam Canal cruise and a multilingual audio guide. 
  • If you’re planning a more holistic experience, consider booking the I amsterdam City Card which allows access to over 70 attractions and experiences at discounted rates. This city card also offers 25% off at select cafes and attractions, a 24-hour bike rental, and unlimited access to Amsterdam’s public transport system (GVB).
