Follow in the footsteps of sporting and musical greats when you tour this vast sporting arena. Walk on the pitch, see dressing rooms and lift a trophy.

Watch national and international sporting events, see musical legends perform and go behind the scenes at the Principality Stadium. This is the national stadium of Wales, a 74,500-seat venue that is the home of the Welsh national rugby team.

Enjoy a guided tour of the sporting and musical arena. Walk through the Dragon's Lair, the name given to the dressing room of the national rugby team. Then head down the players' tunnel and onto the pitch with sound of pre-recorded crowd cheers ringing in your ears.

Look up at the massive roof, which was the first fully-retractable stadium roof in the United Kingdom. Go up to the President's Box to lift a trophy high in the air, just like winning sports captains do. The full guided tours last for approximately 60-75 minutes.
