A club museum or stadium tour adds historical context to a football trip. Depending on the programme available on your chosen day, a tour may include areas that a match ticket does not give you access to.
Information dated 1 October 2026. Check opening hours, ticket categories and the visit programme with the club before travelling.

| Club | Visit | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Galatasaray | The stadium museum at RAMS Park in Seyrantepe | Stadium tour availability and visiting times for your chosen date |
| Fenerbahçe | The Fenerbahçe Efsanesi stadium and museum tour programme in Kadıköy | The tour type, areas included and booking time |
| Beşiktaş | The club museum and stadium tours in Dolmabahçe | Visitor category, closure days and tour availability |
| Trabzonspor | Mustafa Şamil Ekinci Museum in Kemerkaya, on Maraş Street | Visiting hours and the route from central Trabzon |
The club lists normal museum opening hours as 10:00–18:00, except on Mondays. Stadium tours close on home matchdays; the museum itself closes at a time announced before the match.
Ticket prices differ for Turkish citizens and foreign visitors, and the club states that online sales are available only to Turkish citizens. Foreign visitors should therefore check the current conditions and prices and contact the museum to establish how to buy a ticket.
The entrance is on the seaward side, at the historic 19 May Gate. The club confirms that visitors can reach the museum on foot or by public transport.

Ask the club whether the ticket covers the museum alone or also includes a stadium tour, which languages are offered and which areas are open. Fenerbahçe offers an official stadium and museum tour programme, while Galatasaray's stadium museum is part of the RAMS Park complex.
Choose a suitable day in your itinerary: a match may cause a tour to close or its route to change. Access to dressing rooms or the substitutes' benches depends on the tour type and that day's arrangements.
Mustafa Şamil Ekinci Museum displays Trabzonspor trophies and objects from the club's history, including the story of the “Half Cup”. Its city location makes it easy to include in a visit to the centre, with a separate journey to the Akyazı stadium if you are attending a match.
Before booking: check the day and time, children's admission policy, visitor category, photography rules and what the ticket includes. A match and museum visit on consecutive days can combine the supporter atmosphere with the club's history.
