Home to the legendary FC Barcelona, Camp Nou is arguably one of the most iconic football stadiums on the planet. For both football fanatics and sightseers alike, touring Camp Nou has become an obligatory stop. Even without a coveted ticket to a FC Barcelona match, The Camp Nou Experience offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the excitement, symbolism and rich sporting history of the stadium. Tickets unlock behind the scenes access to the pitch, changing room, presidential box, press room and more.
At the in-house FC Barcelona Museum, visitors can dive head first into the club’s history, which showcases gleaming trophies, interactive exhibits and relics from celebrated events like the 1982 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League finals and 1992 Summer Olympics. With 1.2 million visitors a year, it’s the most visited museum in Barcelona.
Accessing Camp Nou is easy, with the Trambaix Avinguda de Xile station located just 500 metres away. The stadium is also well-serviced by several metro stops and bus routes. Alternatively, it’s a 20-minute drive from the city centre, or a one hour walk through neighbourhoods like El Raval, Sant Antoni and Les Corts.
Following years of public demand, plans to build a new Barcelona stadium were finally confirmed in 1955. Architects Francesc Mitjans Miró, Josep Soteras Mauri and Lorenzo García Barbón dreamt up the design, which was eventually completed in 1957. With its seating capacity of 99,354, it steps up as not only the largest stadium in Spain but in the whole of Europe. On a global scale, it’s outshone only by Korea’s 150,000 capacity Rungrado May Day Stadium.
