Nou Camp Stadium

Before my trip to Barcelona I bought tickets to see Barca V Real Mallorca from simplybarcelonatickets.com. I arranged to collect them although there was the option to have them delivered to the hotel for free. I bought category 2 tickets (60 Euros) which meant we were sat under the shelter a bit further up but under cover. I'm definitely not a football fan and if it wasn't for my boyfriend I would never have gone however I surprised him with some tickets for his birthday. It was the best money I had ever spent! As soon as we walked down to the camp which may I say was really easy to find. There was three metro stops and the man at the ticket office had a ...  Read the complete review

Nou Camp Stadium I have been to Barcelona a couple of times and have on the whole enjoyed my visits. There is plenty to do and see in the city and even during the winter the weather can be quite mild and pleasant. The down side of Barcelona is the pick pocketing. It's rampant in the city centre and although I was fortunately not a successful target I was approached three times by people trying to get there hands on my cash. I am surprised the authorities don't clamp down on this because as it stands Barcelona may soon become more famous for its pickpockets than its football club. What is the Nou Camp? The Nou Camp is an impressive ...  Read the complete review

I've been going to the Camp Nou stadium for around 12 years as when I was little and lived in Germany we'd drive to Spain for holidays, and I spent my summers watching the likes of Guardiola, Rivaldo, and the de Boer brothers strolling around this monster of a stadium. History ---------- Built in 1957, the Camp Nou replaced FC Barcelona's old Les Corts ground which held a respectable 60,000. Designed by Francesc Mitjans Miró and Josep Soteras Mauri, it was supposed to be called Estadi del FC Barcelona, but fans coined the nickname Camp Nou, translated as 'New Field' in comparison to the old Les Corts stadium. The name has stuck and was made official ...  Read the complete review

For any self respecting football fan, no trip to the city of Barcelona should be complete without visiting the famous Camp Nou stadium, located to the north west of the city centre. On non-match days, tours of the stadium and its accompanying museum are offered in a variety of languages, and proved to be a useful and interesting insight into the club, its members, and history. The museum is filled with memorabilia from Zamora's gloves, to Stoichkov's boots, whilst the access to the media centre and changing rooms offers plenty of chances for you to take photos. If you are lucky, the first team may be having a training session at the adjacent training stadium ...  Read the complete review
