About this venue
Giulesti Stadium, also known as Stadionul Rapid-Giulești, is a modern football stadium in Bucharest's Giulești district and the home ground of Rapid București. The arena has approximately 14,050 seats, covered stands and a compact design that brings spectators close to the pitch. The new stadium opened in 2022 on the site of Rapid's historic ground and was designed to meet modern standards for major football events.
The enclosed configuration of the stands and their proximity to the pitch help create an intense matchday atmosphere. Visitors have access to modern spectator facilities, including food areas, shops, VIP spaces and dedicated seating for people with disabilities.
The stadium is located at Calea Giulești 18, Bucharest, Romania. Tram and bus stops are within a short walk, while Crângași metro station can also be reached on foot. The stadium has a limited number of parking spaces, so parking availability may depend on the arrangements for each event.

About the city: Bucharest
Bucharest, Romania’s lively capital, blends elegant boulevards with an energetic urban scene, making it a natural hub for concerts, sports, and major events. The city offers a wide choice of arenas and stadiums, and it’s easy for visitors to combine an event night with a short city break or a longer stay. With a strong mix of restaurants, bars, and diverse neighborhoods, the experience often goes beyond the program itself — the city’s atmosphere is felt well before you take your seat or step onto the floor.
A key advantage of Bucharest is its practical infrastructure and clear connections between major points. For fast movement around town, there is Metrorex (the metro), while surface transport is covered by STB (buses, trams, and trolleybuses), making it straightforward to reach most event areas. If you arrive by train, Gara de Nord is the main railway station and an important starting point for continuing by public transport. Flying in is just as simple via Aeroportul Internațional Henri Coandă București (OTP), with easy onward travel toward the center and popular event locations.
If you have time before or after the show, it’s worth strolling through Centrul Vechi (the Old Town) or along Calea Victoriei, where it’s easy to find a spot for coffee or dinner. For a classic “wow” moment, many choose a view of Palatul Parlamentului, while Piața Unirii and a walk by the Dâmbovița River are practical options if you want to stay close to the city’s main axes. If you prefer a greener pause, the city parks offer a calmer rhythm — ideal for resetting between impressions and the next night out.
