So guys welcome to another episode of ultimate bucket list and today I'm in
Porto? a stereo Laura how the Dragon Stadium this is home to SC porto
portugal most successful and most recent european champions and this stadium is
effing massive guys this is one seriously big ass Stadium I mean I'm not
kidding it's technically about five minutes just to walk around the place
and I still won't even found the entrance okay I've done about two laps
of this down Stadium already apparently the entrances are gates well allegedly
but I can see when I walk past it before so yeah it's only the bloody side of the
stadium under I've only got five minutes left to make the next tour so see
whether FC Porto boss is going that's the metro station and here's the
entrance I didn't need to do to you up to the stadium at all so yeah that was a
little bit of a waste of time the tour unceremoniously starts in the carpark
and this is the part where they tell you that you can't video anything which is
really annoying but does you know guys I'm a bastard I recorded anyway you
actually get to do a nice little lap of the pitch and it's pretty cool to walk
around the pitch but they don't let you stand on the grass the only time that
they do is if they take a picture of you and try and sell it to you at the club
shop afterwards I obviously didn't do that when walking around the stadium
you'll notice that there are names all over the walls
if you attended the first game here at a study of the foul
your name is forever engraved into the brick here which i think is actually
kind of cool there are a lot of names on this thing
you get to go into the presidential box and surprise surprise this is where all
the rich and imports people sit the seats are nice and comfortable and this
is the best view of the stadium you're probably going to get so take plenty of
pictures here they then walk you downstairs and into the media bits where
they take your picture and try and sell it to you afterwards at the gift shop
and the underground car park where the rich and famous park their cars in and
amongst a lots of artwork imagine that parking your car and then walking to
your seat literally two meters away you also get to see the bus which is a thing
of beauty in itself take lots of pictures and they don't actually let you
into the home team's dressing room it's a rule apparently nobody's allowed to go
in there so instead you make do with the visiting teams dressing room now it's
actually not bad this is actually better than a lot of visiting pressing rooms
that I've been into and you get some great photo opportunities but my advice
is to wait until everybody clears out so that you can take pictures on your own
and they don't hesitate to tell you that they are champions you actually get to
walk out through the tunnel which is kind of cool except that every time I do
one of these things some idiot gets in my way anyway my shop was completely
ruined so I'm now having to walk through without smoke decent tunnel shots and
you actually get to sit into the players and coaches dugouts
this provides some great photo opportunities and if you are bored it
provides you with a nice comfortable seat to rest your feet and chillax until
the end of the tour sadly this is actually the end of the tour as they
frog march you back past the pitch and into the club's gift shop where the tour
ends it's a nice gift shop and there's plenty to buy and you can also go
upstairs and go to the ticket office where you can buy tickets for the next
match if you want to now at any time before or after at all
you can go into the museum now the museum is fantastic it's actually one of
the best museums I've ever been sued and that includes all sports you get some
interesting exhibits such as this the goddess of revenge for some reason and
their trophy room is absolutely mammoth this is possibly the most impressive
trophy room I've ever seen and I've been to the Hockey Hall of Fame and that was
cool also have won every single trophy that you could possibly win as a
football team and this is an amazing way to display all the trophies that they've
won you even get see the championship us when they parade through the streets of
Porto once they've worn a trophy and technically you can actually go inside
the replica dressing room whereby you can see all the shirts that have gone by
in past and you get a cool CGI thing to go into you've got a bit
dedicated to just the media and you can also take photos of yourself green
screen in a polo shirt overall the museum was definitely worth
the money and I highly recommend you do this if you are in also
so I've just kind of finished the state limits for and the museum here in
people's they let you finish check out the club shop but I gotta say that was
probably one of the best football specific stadium tours and museums that
I've ever seen you know and I've been to a lot I've been to a lot of football
stadiums and I've been up to a lot of Tours but honestly this was probably one
of the best if not the best one I've been to the museum very interactive it
had a lot of cool stuff to see and it was nicely presented the staff here were
absolutely amazing and to be honest even though it's a Portuguese club everyone
speaks English which is a massive bonus okay nin I'm salt what do I do
well you need to come here to estádio do dragão
which is the dragon stadium you can easily find it on any metro map because
it's one of the main stops on pretty much most of the metro lines so it's
really not that difficult to find because to do the talk well it's about
fifty euros for both the museum and the stadium so if you do just want to do the
museum I imagine you would it's 12 euros so if you want my advice to pay the
extra three euros technically I paid three euros for an audio guide that was
a little bit of waste of money because apparently you can download it for free
on a mobile phone app which I completely didn't know about so yet save you three
euros and download the app that goes with the museum and stadium tour it's
also operate literally every hour so they will literally start on the hour
and they generally lasts for about 50 minutes is there anything else I need to
know yes it's quite a hefty walk so if you don't like walking all that washes
as probably a good state is offered you they don't
actually let you record so the path I mash to get away with it just using my
standard canon camera instead of the GoPro which is what I'm on now a couple
you've actually got away with it but I did so guys if you have enjoyed this
episode please like share subscribe comment on the comments below and if
you've got any other ideas for bucket list ideas tweet them at me and if I get
enough suggestions I'll go ahead and do that first I absolutely recommend the
toy here at Porto if you do get to come let me know how you get on on the
comment section below and see you in the next episode
no regulus of this channel might be asking me to name why you're not
trolling these guys with the amount of the United sure ordinarily I would do
but honestly I didn't even realize I was actually coming here I just decided to
come here on the fly so I never actually packed a Manchester United shirt though
the next time I do this I probably do that
