Stadion Feijenoord, known to Feyenoord supporters as De Kuip, is a huge football stadium south of the city centre that can hold over 51,000 fans. During the domestic season, a bi-weekly visit to the Kuip for a match is an almost holy pilgrimage for local devotees. Guided tours of the stadium and its small museum are available Wednesdays to Saturdays (from €9.50).
