Bags and storage at the Stadio Olimpico

Heading to the Stadio Olimpico with a bag you’d rather not haul through security checks is a common bind, especially on matchdays when every entrance is staffed and queues are long.

The stadium itself offers no luggage storage of any kind, and the surrounding Prati neighbourhood has no official left-luggage desk either. In practice, that means sorting your bags out before you arrive — near Ottaviano, Lepanto, or Flaminio on the way in — rather than counting on anything at the gates. You can still bring simple food like a sandwich or a slice of pizza through the gates with you. Any drinks you buy inside will be served in paper or plastic cups, since cans, glass, and plastic bottles are not allowed in. The stadium sits within the Foro Italico complex in the northwestern part of the city. If you have time, the stadium tour takes you into hidden areas such as the dressing rooms, the pitch, and a trophy room. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day.

Getting to the stadium by metro and bus

The stadium has no metro stop of its own — the closest are Ottaviano and Lepanto on Metro line A, where you can switch to buses for the final stretch. Bus line 32 runs from Ottaviano to Piazzale della Farnesina, a major arrival node just a few steps from the stadium. On matchdays, a dedicated shuttle also links Ottaviano to Piazzale Maresciallo Giardino, near the Stadio Olimpico. A quieter alternative is taking Metro line A to Flaminio and transferring to tram line 2, which terminates at Piazza Mancini, a short walk from the stadium. If you're carrying bags, Ottaviano, Lepanto, and Flaminio are all covered by Stasher, so you can drop luggage before getting on the bus or tram.

On arrival and on a matchday

Everyone entering the stadium goes through security searches, including metal detectors and physical inspections by stewards or police. With no storage on site, that means any bag you bring has to pass inspection and meet the size rules. AS Roma advises arriving at least 90 minutes before kick-off to get through the queues smoothly. The club also recommends entering at the specific time printed on your individual match ticket, which staggers the flow of fans through the turnstiles. If you're being dropped off, Piazzale Maresciallo Giardino is the designated point for ticket holders at the Gladiatori or Olimpiadi entrances. Alternatively, Piazza Gentile da Fabriano serves as a drop-off or pick-up spot about 500 metres away, across the Ponte della Musica. The Lungotevere Thaon di Revel/Foro Italico bus stop is roughly a five-minute walk from the stadium.

Visiting the stadium: tours and nearby areas

The tour operates daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with the last tour starting at 17:30, excluding matchdays. The guided experience lasts about 40 to 45 minutes and takes you through the Tunnel of Legends, the dressing rooms, the mixed zone, and the pitch-side technical area. Since the stadium has no luggage storage, anyone doing the tour with a suitcase will need to leave it elsewhere in Rome first.

Stasher offers luggage storage across Rome, including in Prati, so you can explore the area or take the tour without dragging a bag along.
