Luggage storageSan Mames

San Mamés stadium and its surroundings

Matchday at San Mames means arriving with a bag you can't bring through the turnstiles, so sorting out somewhere to leave it before kick-off matters more than at most stadium visits.

The nearest metro station is a short walk away, but the stadium itself offers no storage service of its own. Nearby, the Guggenheim Museum operates a cloakroom for items not allowed in its galleries, so that’s an option if your plans lean towards culture. It’s an all-seater ground, so every ticket includes an allocated seat rather than standing room. The stadium sits in the Ensanche district on the south bank of the Río Nervión. San Mames station is also a transfer hub, with metro lines 1 and 2, Cercanías C-1 and C-2, and the Bilbao tram all calling there. The stadium also draws corporate event guests and tourists doing the stadium tour or visiting its on-site restaurants and bars. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 9 locations near San Mames.

There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary depending on bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to €12,000. Stasher storage near San Mames can be booked through the website or app.

Getting to San Mamés with luggage

The Santimami/San Mames metro station on lines 1 and 2 is about a 7-minute walk from the stadium, which is workable with a small bag but worth planning around if you're carrying heavy bags. If you're headed for the Athletic Club Museum and stadium tour, the entrance is on Calle Rafael Moreno Pichichi, which serves as a landmark once you are close. The San Mames tram stop is roughly 650 metres from the stadium.

Visiting San Mamés and nearby attractions

San Mamés offers a combined guided stadium tour and Athletic Club Museum visit, available with a professional guide or as a self-paced audio guide tour lasting around 90 minutes. Ticket-holders can buy food and drinks from the Poza bars around the stands or pre-order online, so you don't need to carry extra snacks in. The streets immediately around the stadium include Luis Briñas, Sabino Arana, María Díaz de Haro, and Avenida del Ferrocarril, so luggage storage near any of them puts you within a short walk of the ground.

The Guggenheim Museum provides a cloakroom service where visitors can leave their coats and any belongings not permitted inside the galleries. The Guggenheim Museum is served by Moyua metro station, whose Ercilla-Guggenheim exit takes you directly to it.
