I visited the Red Star Belgrade Sadium one morning.The stadium itself is within walking distance of about 30 minutes from the city centre, following the directions of any map or gps or even the direction of the Tripadvisor web site. After arriving in the vicinity of the stadium closed course I could only find the entrance to the bar, which is also the entrance to the museum.To welcome only visitor at the time, there was a member of staff very pleasant and friendly, which made me a brief introduction on the history of the team. A large room with all the trophies won by Red Star including Champions League and World Cup. After my visit of about 30 minutes between photos, trophies and memorabilia, from a door in front I was able to access the stands to watch the internal field, a great stadium, if you think that 20 years ago the maximum occupancy touched even the 100,000 fans, obviously much standing huddled in every available corner. At the outset, the maximum capacity is 50,000 spectators. Experience truly special, admission price ridiculously low, take a long walk that day was worth it.

While I believe this stadium was grand in the past, now it looks kind of worn down. It still looks huge and impressive but also like it's in need of some investment.

It's a football stadium but is is a football stadium at which dreams are made reality. Try to see a match there, especially a derby v Partizan - the atmosphere is unbeatable. .

Nice stadium with lots of history. Feels nice to be there, especially if you are into football. Else it might be unnecesary to be there. Didn't dislike anything ...

The Red Star Stadium (Marakana) is legendary football grounds and a must for all sports lovers who visit Belgrade.The stadium is old and in relative bad condition but still impressive. The stadium capacity is about 60 000 spectators (international matches), however the record attendance is far much higher - about 120,000 spectators (before the stadium was rebuilt).You can visit the stadium outside match hours. Participating in a stadium tour will take about 1 hour. It will give you the opportunity to pass through the player rooms, the VIP booth, trophy rooms and much more. However, I can really recommend a trip to Belgrade to watch a derby between the Red Star and Partizan (the Eternal Derby). It’s hard to find a more exciting football experience than this derby. Worth mentioning is that I've watched derbies in countries such as Brazil and Germany. If and when you decide to watch the Derby at the Marakana, be careful not to dress yourself in any of the team colors. For those not familiar with the Stadium there is a risk of ending up on the “wrong” stand.

Loved it, however sad to see the state it's in. Really needs a clean up and restoration. Red star cafe is a nice place to relax and have a coffee.

Marakana is a classic football stadium well worth a visit, especially during a derby between Partizan and Red Star. Capacity of approximately 60,000 today, the stadium holds a record of more than 100,000.

I liked the atmosphere, the colors and the game. Would recommend to anyone. Hope the team will get into Europe and show other teams how to cheer

It has its own spirit. When you enter the stands, you can practicly hear the crowd singing and the grownd shaking. Former European champion Red Star lost its glory football days, but the fans are surely stillone of the best in the world.Also, the museum is a must, because each trophy has its own story.

The Marakana is the largest stadium in Serbia, I've visited Belgrade 3 times and each time have gone to the Marakana, I enjoy having a walk around it and seeing the impressive graffiti around the Stadium. If you're in Belgrade and Crvena Zvezda are playing at the Marakana then I highly recommend you go watch a game, Delije Ultras are some of the best fans I've ever seen and make such a great atmosphere with their constant chanting and letting off of flares and smoke bombs. Match tickets are always very cheap as well!

Since Red Star was European champion in football in 1991 it should be more fancy and some more exhibitions to show. Nevertheless, concerning everything, nowadays situation in Serbian football (and the rest of big 5 leagues) it is really nice place to visit. Old pictures and scenes from old matches is a must see. Nearby is a nice cafe to take a break.

This is a good museum in a rather dilapidated stadium. Not very busy when I went and as I was the only visitor, I was given a guided tour by the very pleasant and friendly curator. He had a good command of English which was a great help and he had a very good knowledge of European football. Allowed to go into the directors and VIP rooms, as well as into the "directors seating area" - not as exclusive as it sounds! The club has fallen on hard times since their European Cup triumph in 1991, but still an interesting visit for those interested in football. Advised by my Serbian friends to avoid the Red Star v Partizan derby when I was intending to go, and watch it on their TV! They said it would be "welcome to Hellgrade"!
