About Emirates Stadium Tour
Arsenal Football Club moved to the Emirates Stadium in 2006 after 93 years at the nearby Highbury, whose art deco facade survives as a residential development a short walk away. The new 60,000-plus capacity stadium was designed to give the club the modern matchday revenue needed to compete financially with Europe's leading clubs, while retaining strong visual references to Arsenal's history throughout the building.
The self-guided tour, available in ten languages including British Sign Language, lets visitors move at their own pace through the players' tunnel, home and away dressing rooms, the manager's office, and the Directors' Box, using handheld devices with video and audio commentary featuring former Arsenal players recounting matchday memories from these exact spaces.

The tour concludes at the Arsenal Museum, covering the club's full history since its 1886 founding by munitions workers in Woolwich (hence the cannon in the club crest), including trophies, historic shirts and memorabilia from legendary players like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Tony Adams.
The tour doesn't run on match days, so it's worth checking Arsenal's fixture list before planning a visit, particularly during the football season from August to May.
