Impressive stadium
Having being one stop away from the Arena on business it was a no brainer to come to the stadium and hsve a loom around. Its a nice neighbourhood with a few shops and food vendors
Cathedral of Football
What a dream this stadium is! As a lifelong Ajax fan visiting from abroad, watching the 125th Anniversary match vs AZ Alkmaar was amazing. Sitting next to F-Side watching the tifo and the ultras was insane! Everything about this place is perfect [except for getting on the metro with 55,000 other nuts].
10/10
Not a massive football myself but my boyfriend is. We both really enjoyed it and the stadium is fab. Would definitely recommend
Legendary team and stadium
The famous football stadium is five minutes from Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA train station. It dominates an area surrounded by shops, a cinema, bars and restaurants. Sadly, I did not get to see a game or enter inside. However, I got to marvel at its design and take photos of the legendary Johan Cruyff picture. Certainly worth a visit for football fans and if in the area.
A brilliant day
Well that was a fantastic tour. So much information about the club history and its players. Archie, our guide, was funny and oh so knowledgeable about AJAX the team, the stadium and everything in-between. A brilliant tour.
Great tour with knowledgeable guide
Had a guided tour with Ed on 20-01-25. He was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble, he even tried to help me buy a football shirt by searching online for me as I was unable to find one I wanted around the city. He was very friendly and allowed us enough time to ask questions or take photos. The stadium itself was great and Ed put on the Ajax entrance music for us as we walked out of the tunnel onto the pitch which was a nice experience. I enjoyed my visit to the Johan Cruijff Arena.
Amsterdam football weekend
First time at this ground and was impressed by the stadium itself the surrounding facilities and the helpful staff. Had one the cheaper seats but was more than happy with the view and the seating. Easy access to refreshments and toilets. All in all one of the best grounds I have been to and would definitely go again if in the area.
Nothing for non-football fans!!
My partner who is a huge football fan really enjoyed this and said there was a lot more access in this tour than other stadium tours. The big issue for us was that there was no tour guides or even audio guides and as a non football fan it would have really helped my experience to have this.
AJAX match day tour & match
Stadium is right there when you get off of the train. Very easy to get inside and out after the match. Even in the upper corner you have a great view of the action. Overall great experience. The match day tour was very well put together and enjoyable.
Inspiring and interesting.
As far as history in football Ajax is possibly one of the most prestigious. A journey through the times of glory was both knowledgeable and enjoyable and rotated the club in a very positive manner. The tour guide was humorous and insightful and it was very enjoyable.
Tour
Was in Amsterdam for weekend and was hoping that. Ajax would be at home but they weren’t. So decided to book a tour stadium. You might be better off to get an Uber to the ground. The tour lasted almost 2 hours. You got to see everything. Dressing rooms, boxes sit in dug out, press room. The tour guide we had Archie was really good and knew his stuff a very good knowledge.
Great stadium and great stadium tour
Great stadium tour would highly recommend to anyone, easily accessible to all as well. With the chance to try on old jerseys within one of the dressing/changing rooms - with shirts from famous players who have played at the Johan Cruijff arena. From Mijatovic (real Madrid 1998) to the Frenkie De Jong Netherlands/Holland jersey from June 2021. Which you can also try on as well (not many stadium tours give you the chance to try on these shirts/jerseys so credit to Ajax. With the club with the great history that it has it was great to see how in-depth they went with the stadium audio tour (a must I believe), with also the chance to sit in both the home and away team benches and to see where which fans sit from the home fans, away fans as well as the hospitality as well.
Good Stadion
Good Stadion, Home base for Ajax Amsterdam & Dutch National team. The stadion very big and you can find ajax merchandise shop.
Best tour guide in the Netherlands
Getting to the entrance to buy the tickets and start the tour was bit of an adventure but we found it. One tour guide on Friday 21st of June took it upon himself to add to what would have been a very basic experience and he made it memorable. Highly recommended.
Johan cruyff stadium tour netherlands
Wow what can I say went on the vip guided tour was amazing well worth the money everything they said we would get we got our guide was called Tim he was very knowledgeable 100per cent great tour guide we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves would recommend anyone to go if you get the chance
Quicker than expected
Smaller than expected so didn't take long...bar on site was nice! Staff very knowledgeable, we didn't book a guided tour but still made time to talk to us. 10% discount in shop with ticket doesn't mean much as so much on sale and discount not available with sale goods
Self Guided Tour
The self guided tour is great but quite short, almost as soon as you start you're in the players tunnel & on the pitch, which was surprising. Some information is available on the walls as you walk around, but there could've been more.
VIP tour
VIP tour was nice. Tour guide spoke in English, answered questions, took photographs at different stages of the tour. Enjoyable experience even for non-football fans. Pleasant staff.
Stadium Tour
Went on the stadium tour during the summer whilst in Amsterdam. Stadium is very easy to get to via public transport and train station is right outside the stadium. Tour guide was very knowledgeable with some great information about Ajax and the stadium. Answered any questions too. Only disappointment on the tour was not being able to see the pitch as it was covered up for a concert but I knew about this in advance. Club shop is also very good and because we booked tickets in advance they gave a discount on items bought in the shop.
Fanatic value for money
Fantastic from start to finish. No time pressure at all and all of the staff were very pleasant. Very well run. A must for any football fan and u would recommend to anybody!
Ajax experience
Very good tour and informative! Friendly host answering questions and offering stories in multi languages.
Very,very good!
We went to the guided tour. It was so good! The guide was excellent and we really enjoyed. We got to see and hear so much from this Stadium and Ajax. It was sure worth the visit.
Who knew a football stadium visit could be such good fun.
My 16 year old son and I visited. We booked a guided tour. Our tour guide was brilliant. He had phenomenal knowledge of football, and had incredible stories. It was great to hear a loyal Ajax fan getting his dream job, and his passion shone through I know little about football and still really enjoyed myself. The shop is expensive as you would expect but you do get 10% from going on the tour.
Brilliant experience
From the time we entered to when we left it was a great experience. The staff were friendly and very helpful - when we went around we did the self tour however in every area there was someone to tell you about the room you were in . One particular lad, who was in the away dressing room was spectacular!! he and my husband could have talked football forever, he even caught up with us to give us more information about the museum. You are not rushed - you go at your own pace and even if you are not a football fan it was good experience. Reasonably priced compared to other clubs we have been to- lots to see
Great Football Arena
A great experience and a fabulous arena. Well organized venue and a great (noisy) crowd made this a must do football stadium visit. Pricey buying tickets from home(UK), but still worth it.

Enjoyed the guided tour, disappointed with the VR
Our family of 4 enjoyed the 75 minute Guided Full Experience Tour. Our tour guide was friendly and informative and in each area we visited, we had plenty of time for self-exploration and picture taking. The VR experience part was disappointing, as you were given a cardboard box to put your cell phone in (note that a larger phone and/or a bulky case may not fit), and this was not really part of the tour itself anyway. You then had to carry this around with you. We were told that the VR could be done from home, and we did try it 2 weeks later, but the picture orientation was opposite the cardboard box orientation – just did not work well. We did visit the arena during summer concert season, so could not see the pitch as it was covered with metal plates. After the guided part of the tour, you can explore the trophy room/museum. The gift shop had a wide variety of items. Easy to get to by metro train from Amsterdam Centraal Station – no connections and entrance was a five-minute walk from station. There are several bars, stores, restaurants and a movie theater in the area between the train station and stadium.
Great tour
Had to change our booking twice with minimal fuss. Opted for the audio tour which we couldn’t get to work. Didn’t take away from the experience as we did it at our own pace and spent plenty time doing so. Enjoyed the experience
Waw!
Heel toffe rondleiding met een enthousiaste gids! Interessant en indrukwekkend, ook voor mensen die geen die hard voetbalfan zijn. Wij namen de vip-tour, wat echt een aanrader is! Top-ervaring voor mijn zoon (10) en ik!
La storia del calcio
Facilmente raggiungibile in metro. I dintorni sono pieni di locali. E davanti l' uscita della metro anche una sala giochi. Lo stadio è piccolo, si può visitare senza guida in quanto il percorso è ben strutturato. Sala magliette calciatori avversari famosi, spogliatoi e sale staff tecnico, bordo campo, sala stampa, sala trofei, insomma un classico tour di uno stadio moderno. Niente di che lo shop. Meglio così visto che il costo è esorbitante per chi come me ha figli adolescenti che pagano come adulti
Eeeh mercéé l'Ajax 🇳🇱
Un stade tout simplement mythique !!! La visite est plutôt courte mais intéressante, un club énormément titré même en Europe. Le stade lui est magnifique, et d'extérieur l'architecture est très bizarre. Sans doute les soirs de matchs l'ambiance doit être folle, après c'est pas le Vélodrome non plus mdrr
Il tour VIP è consigliato
Memori dell'esperienza (tour normale) fatta all'Allianz Stadium di Monaco dell'anno scorso, abbiamo deciso di prenotare il tour VIP alla Johann Cruijff Arena. Siamo stati accolti da Ronald, la nostra giuda. Una guida veramente molto gentile e disponibile. Lo stadio è di media grandezza ma piuttosto moderno e noi abbiamo fatto il tour VIP della durata di circa due ore attraverso tutti i livelli dello stadio, dal parcheggio agli spogliatoi al campo e alle varie skyboxes (compresa la Royal skybox). E' stata una visita molto interessante. Sicuramente consigliata.
Stadio tanto semplice quanto bello
Le aspettative erano elevate per la storia della squadra e dei campioni che ne hanno calcato il terreno di gioco. Anzitutto ci si arriva in metro la cui fermata è a 100 metri, all'interno di una area sportiva e commerciale ben organizzata, L'organizzazione degli spazi è impeccabile. La struttura è ben tenuta, pulitissima, accogliente. Il personale al suo interno è gentile. La visita è riservata agli spazi essenziali: campo, tribuna, spogliatoi, zona mista e sala trofei. Avrei preferito esplorarne qualche angolo particolare, qualcosa che desse un tocco in più rispetto alle solite visite agli stadi.
Esperienza da fare!!!
Ero ad Amsterdam una domenica pomeriggio e mi sono detta “wow mi piacerebbe tanto vedere una partita dell’Ajax”, ho comprato il biglietto dal loro sito e mi sono semplicemente incamminata. Un’esperienza bellissima e rilassantissima, non come in Italia che sembra che andiamo a fare la guerra. Lo stadio “piccolo” ma perfetto, oggettivamente bellissimo e si vedeva tutto, ogni movimento, da ogni angolazione. Gli stand del cibo e delle bibite veloci ed efficienti. Nessun caos all’uscita. Se le partite in Italia fossero così andrei tutte le settimane allo stadio.
Johan Cruijff la légende
N’étant pas supportrice de l’Ajax Amsterdam mais fan de foot, il était primordial pour moi de visiter le stade au nom d’une légende et ancien joueur du Fc Barcelone, équipe que je supporte et je ne regrette pas. J’ai beaucoup aimer le faite de visiter l’envers du décor d’un stade que je n’ai pas l’habitude de suivre et connaître certains faits sur son histoire, les fans peuvent être fière, les employés sont tellement adorables, ils peuvent même faire offices de photographe pour vous, un d’eux me la gentillement proposer (ce sont également de petits blagueurs haha) et j’ai beaucoup aimer la petite penser pour Appie à la sortie de la boutique du stade, toutes mes pensées pour lui & sa famille.
Visita interessante per i patiti del calcio
Interessante, per gli appassionati del calcio e della sua storia. Stadio maestoso e - come sempre in Olanda - molto ben organizzato. La visita comprende il museo, con cimeli sportivi e le Coppe dei Campioni vinte dall’Ajax. Facilmente raggiungibile con treno e metropolitana.
Très belle visite de la Johan Cruyff ArenA !
Nous avons visité la Johan Cruyff ArenA dans le cadre de notre séjour à Amsterdam. Nous avions acheté les places une semaine avant notre départ pour être sûr d’avoir de la place ! Très facile d’accès grâce au métro 50 ou 54 depuis Amsterdam Centraal. Personnel très sympathique même si nous n’avons pas pris l’option du guide personnel pour la balade. Nous avons eu le droit de visiter pas mal de choses comme : Le terrain, les vestiaires, la salle de presse, la salle des trophées et j’en passe… Petit bémol : le magasin du stade ferme à 17h, à la sortie de notre visite, nous n’avons pas su prendre de maillot ou même un petit souvenir, dommage !
BELLA EMOZIONE !
Per chi ama il calcio ( come me) e ricorda i fasti dell’Ajax di Johan Cruijff e della nazionale olandese degli anni 70’, questa visita all’Arena intitolata al più famoso calciatore olandese, è sicuramente imperdibile. Facilmente raggiungibile con la metropolitana, la visita ( nel mio caso non guidata) permette di accedere al campo da gioco, alle panchine ed alla tribuna. Si visitano, poi, gli spogliatoi, la sala stampa ed il museo della squadra, con foto e filmati dei momenti più importanti della storia sportiva dell’Ajax e con l’esposizione di tutti i trofei vinti. Bello e fornito anche lo shop finale. Una visita assolutamente consigliata. Pier Luigi Menga ( Napoli - Italia)
Organizzazione perfetta, tempi di attesa ridotti al minimo, personale gentile.
Siamo stati a vedere una partita dell'Ajax in questo magnifico stadio. Controllo biglietti, entrata e controllo all'entrata ben organizzati e processo veloce. Il personale davvero cortese, soprattutto vedendo che eravamo turisti con bambini. Inoltre, anche se non autorizzati a portare uno zaino nello stadio, il personale è stato comprensivo e vedendo che eravamo turisti ci hanno permesso di portare il nostro piccolo zaino all'interno. Anche all'interno dello stadio, acquistare cibo e bibite veloce, anche se era pieno di tifosi. Che esperienza speciale.
Für Fussballinterssierte top
Wir haben die normale stadiontour gebucht. Wir durften alles sehen ( Gästekabine, Heimkabine, Innenraum, PR Raim, Museum) insgesamt für Fussballinterssierte super. Ansonsten Für das Geld ein bisschen wenig
Hotel de negocios
Es un buen hotel está alejado del centro pero con buena comunicación con metro. Buen desayuno Buffet y habitaciones acogedoras.
De concierto
Planificado en 1993 e inaugurado en 1996. Desde 2018 Johan Cruiff ArenA, anteriormente Amsterdam ArenA. Estadio de futbol del AFC Ajax con usos múltiples. Junto al estadio se encuentra la parada de metro Amsterdam Strandvliet. Tiene un afoto de casi 56.000 espectadores para partidos de futbol y 71.000 para conciertos. El estadio se puede cerrar por completo en 18 minutos. Tuvimos la suerte de ver a Bruce Springsteen en concierto el 27/05/2023.
Tour Off Season.....Bella esperienza
Chi è appassionato di calcio come me sicuramente rimarrà entusiasta dell'esperienza. Si entra in contatto dal vivo con il mondo Ajax. Ho potuto prenotare solo il tour off season che non permette l'ingresso nel terreno di gioco, per il resto tutto molto bello, ingresso in tribuna, spogliatoi, zona mista, sala stampa e museo con i trofei, accompagnati da una simpatica guida che ha dettagliato il tutto. Raggiungibile comodamente con la metro 54 in pochi minuti dalla stazione centrale, fermata bijlmer arena di fronte lo stadio. Ben fornito il fan shop con prezzi onesti. Nel complesso siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti.
La casa 🏟 dei lancieri ⚪🔴
Ci siamo recati di recente all'Amsterdam Arena (che quantomeno ricordavo con questo nome) per visitare la struttura, realizzando che la stessa da poco più di un anno è stata giustamente intitolata al grandissimo Johan Cruijff (non ero aggiornato in tal senso). Giunti in loco verso le 12.30 🕧 di domenica scorsa, abbiamo parcheggiato tranquillamente le nostre bici 🚲 di fronte all'impianto 🏟 portandoci quindi all'ingresso. Una volta acquistati i ticket 🎫, ci sono state consegnate delle cuffiette auricolari 🎧 da utilizzare con l'audioguida direttamente tramite il proprio smartphone 📱 (connettendosi al sito del museo e inserendo un codice d'accesso riportato sul biglietto stesso). Davvero ingegnoso tale sistema, che difatti abbiamo apprezzato molto. In breve è iniziato anche il tour guidato, che ci ha permesso di esplorare i vari ambienti del complesso, dagli spogliatoi alla sala stampa passando per la galleria dei trofei 🏆 e naturalmente anche il campo da gioco ⚽️. A fronte delle molte recensioni presenti in questa pagina, non so che altro potrei aggiungere che già non sia stato detto; in ragione di ciò preferisco non dilungarmi in superflue descrizioni. Suggerisco piuttosto di far tappa in loco qualora si passi da queste parti (anche perché la visita risulta gradevole e non particolarmente impegnativa). Molto preparato e disponibile il ragazzo che ci ha accompagnati durante il giro. Il biglietto d'ingresso, comprensivo appunto anche della visita guidata, costa 15 euro (se non ricordo male). Il Wi-Fi è a disposizione degli ospiti e funziona bene. ESPERIENZA SENZ'ALTRO CONSIGLIATA 👍.
Incontournable
Une belle visite incontournable pour les fans de foot Accès aux entrailles du stade, à la pelouse (bord), a un petit espace musée du club Ajax et on finit dans la (grande) boutique Compter 1h30 pour en profiter Un seul regret : qu’il n’y ait pas de maillot vintage dans la boutique !
Sensation white 2022
Un lieu grandiose pour de mega shows, très bien organisé en terme de structures et de personnel.A voir une fois dans sa vie.
A faire absolument
Stade magnifique pour un club mythique. Possibilité de visiter le stade en visite solo, le tour est très bien indiqué. Le musée est intéressant.
Estadio top europeo
Impresionante estadio del Ajax de Amsterdam, está alejado del centro como la mayoría de los grandes estadios. Hicimos el tour en inglés y el guía fue muy simpático, el estadio es precioso y la sala de trofeos pequeña (no porque tengan pocos) pero curiosa con muchos guiños a Johan Cruyff.
Ajax Amsterdam
Tappa obbligatoria se si è amanti del calcio. Stadio bellissimo e moderno. Il tour consente di visitare lo stadio in ogni suo anglo, dagli spogliatoi fino all'ingresso in campo. Nei corridoi, tramite le varie foto e i vari trofei, si ammira e si respira la storia vincente di questo grande club
Dejlig oplevelse
Alt var perfekt! Dejlig tur og dejlig oplevelse på stadion! Det kan helt sikkert anbefales…………..👍🏻
