Your Ultimate Guide to Seating at Portugal’s Iconic Multi-Purpose Stadium

Estádio Municipal Dr. Magalhães Pessoa in Leiria, Portugal, is a modern 23,000-capacity venue hosting football matches, concerts, and events. Known for its sleek design and excellent sightlines, this guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you pick the perfect seats.

Seating Chart Overview

• West & East Stands (Central Sections): Best for football—unobstructed midfield views. Higher rows may feel distant.
• North & South Ends: Budget-friendly but steeper angles for football. Ideal for concerts with stage-facing views.
• Lower Tier (Rows 1-15): Close to the action but may have limited elevation.
• Upper Tier (Rows 16+): Elevated perspective but farther from the field/stage.

Best Seats by Event

• Football: Sections 104-107 (West Stand) for balanced views. Avoid corners for distorted sightlines.
• Concerts: Sections 201-203 (East Stand) for direct stage sight. Floor seats offer proximity but limited elevation.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Mid-tier seating with lounge access and catering. Best for corporate events.
• Accessibility: Dedicated wheelchair spaces in Sections 101 (West) and 208 (East), with companion seating.

Pro Tips

• Use 3D seat maps to preview sightlines before booking.
• For concerts, prioritize center sections over floor seats for better visibility.
• Check for obstructed views (e.g., safety rails) in lower rows.
