Travel tip

Decide: follow your team or one city.

Your hotel plan changes completely depending on that choice.

Event overview

How the FIFA World Cup is structured across host cities

The FIFA World Cup is played across a network of stadiums spread over several host cities. Group-stage matches are distributed between multiple venues, while knockout rounds concentrate into fewer stadiums and one final host city.

Choosing your hotel strategy usually starts with one key question:

  • Follow your national team as they move between cities, or
  • Base yourself in one host city and attend several matches there.

From there, you’ll need to decide which stadiums and dates matter most, and whether you want to stay right next to the venue or closer to downtown nightlife, fan zones and transport hubs.

The Stadium Hotels and 14SB team use each edition’s official match schedule to identify the hotel areas that make sense for fans, media and corporate guests — combining stadium access, city experience and realistic travel times between matches.

City experience

What to do during the World Cup & how to get around

World Cup host cities become football festivals with fan parks, live music, themed zones and crowds from every continent. A good hotel base lets you enjoy match days, rest properly and still explore the city between fixtures.

Things to do between matches

  • Visit official fan festivals to watch matches on big screens with global crowds.
  • Explore historic districts, main squares and waterfront or riverfront areas.
  • Try local food markets, street snacks and late-night cafés or bars.
  • Take day trips to nearby towns or landmarks on non-match days.

Getting around host cities & between stadiums

  • Use metros, commuter trains and shuttle buses whenever possible.
  • Plan extra time for security, fan traffic and match-day road closures.
  • Choose hotels near major stations if you’ll travel to multiple cities.
  • Ask our team which neighborhoods work best for your match tickets and schedule.

Tell us which matches you’ve secured (or plan to secure) and we’ll suggest hotel areas that make your World Cup trip smoother — from opening match to the final.

Sample FIFA World Cup hotel areas & profiles

Every World Cup is different, but hotel patterns repeat: stadium districts, downtown cores, transport hubs and quieter neighborhoods. Below are sample profiles of the areas we usually recommend. When you reach out, we’ll adapt them to the next tournament’s map.

Stadium district & walking-distance hotels

  • Hotels within walking distance or a short ride from the stadium.
  • Perfect for match days when you want simple, fast access to the venue.
  • Limited inventory that usually sells out first for key fixtures.
  • Good for families, early-morning kick-offs and late-night finishes.

City-center & nightlife areas

  • Hotels near main squares, pedestrian streets and nightlife districts.
  • Ideal if you want restaurants, bars and fan zones within walking distance.
  • Easy metro or shuttle access out to stadiums on match days.
  • Wide range of brands and price levels for mixed groups.

Transport hubs & multi-city bases

  • Hotels near major train stations or airports used between host cities.
  • Best for fans following their team across the group stage.
  • Time-saving for early or late departures to the next stadium.
  • We can combine several cities in one itinerary for your group.

Quieter districts & extended stays

  • Residential-style hotels for longer stays and calmer evenings.
  • Often with kitchenettes or apartment layouts for families.
  • Local markets, cafés and parks within walking distance.
  • Good option if you combine matches with remote work or extended travel.
