Mestalla
Mestalla has been Valencia's home ground since 1923, making it one of the oldest stadiums still in active use in Spanish football. The current capacity is approximately 49,000, though the stadium has gone through several expansions and renovations since it first opened. What makes Mestalla distinctive is its steep stands — the upper tiers rise sharply around the pitch, which concentrates the noise and creates an intense environment on big match days. The ground sits on a slope, which is part of why the architecture looks the way it does from the outside. There's no running track separating fans from the pitch, so the stands feel close to the action. Valencia has long had plans to build a new stadium — the Nou Mestalla project has been in development for years — but the current ground remains the club's home for the foreseeable future. The south stand, known as the Gol Sud, is traditionally where the most vocal home support gathers.
Package trip or tickets
Deciding between a package trip to Valencia or just a match ticket depends largely on how much of the trip you've already organised. If you're starting from scratch — no flights, no hotel — then a travel package that bundles everything together often works out more convenient, and sometimes more cost-effective, than booking each element separately. A full travel package typically includes the match ticket, accommodation for one or more nights and sometimes flights, though the exact contents vary by company. If you've already got a place to stay and just need a seat at the match, a ticket-only option is simpler. Some companies offer intermediate options — ticket plus hotel, without flights — which is worth checking if you're flexible on where you stay. Read carefully what each package specifies about hotel location and star rating, as those details affect the overall value. More specifics are available on each seller's individual page.
