What is Camp Nou?
Camp Nou is the largest football stadium in Europe. The soccer temple has capacity for 98,787 spectators. The impressive home of FC Barcelona is even one of the three largest stadiums in the world.
The stadium will be even bigger, the stadium is currently being rebuilt so it is momentary not open for the public. You can also see the future plans on this video, in which the future Camp Nou is presented. In the future, according to the plans, there should be room for 105,000 spectators.
The cost of rebuilding Camp Nou is estimated at 1.5 billion euros. Below I give you more background information and outline history about Camp Nou. During the 2024/2025 season, the club will play in the stadium again, but with only 50% capacity. The stadium is expected to be completely finished sometime during the 2025/2026 season. During the 2023/2024 season, FC Barcelona will play their matches in the Olympic Stadium on the Montjuïc hill.
Despite the fact that the stadium itself is currently closed, true soccer fans cannot leave Barcelona without visiting the adjacent FC Barcelona Immersive Tour & Museum.

Attending an FC Barcelona match
Many visitors come to Barcelona especially to attend a FC Barcelona match. This is of course still possible, but keep in mind that FC Barcelona will be playing at the Olympic stadium during the 23/24 season. Be sure to find out in advance when there will be matches. Please note that the final date will only be confirmed two weeks in advance.
Prior to the game, tickets are sold at various points around the city. In my experience, the price for these is often a lot higher than when you buy them online, so I definitely recommend the latter. You can order FC Barcelona match tickets online very easily and reliably. You can choose your own seats. In general, the farther from the field, the cheaper the tickets.

Match ticket prices
Prices for FC Barcelona match vary quite a bit in terms of price. It just depends on the match you are going to see. In general, the more important the match, the more expensive the ticket. In principle, a match against Real Madrid will be more expensive than a match against Eibar, for example. If you manage to get a seat for 50 euros, you have a good deal.

Until Oct. 15, the museum is open Monday through Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. From Oct. 16 to Dec. 31, they are open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
How do you get to Camp Nou?
For Camp Nou’s address, scroll all the way down.
Metro: Camp Nou is easily accessible by metro. Collblanc stop (Line 5) is a 5-minute walk from the stadium and metro stop Badal is also nearby. Line 5 is convenient if you get off at Sagrada Familia, Diagonal or Sants Estació.
Departing from the city center, you can also take Line 3 from Liceu or Plaça Catalunya, for example, and get off at Maria Cristina or at Palau Reial. Even from there it is only a short walk to the stadium.
Keep in mind, however, that after the game it is not always possible to go back to your hotel or apartment by metro. An alternative is the night bus (N12), which runs every 20 minutes from 10:30 p.m. onwards. The nearest stops are Plaça de Pius XII and Palau Reial, and the bus driver will drop you off in the center at Plaça Catalunya or the Rambla.
By bicycle: from the center (Plaça Catalunya) it takes half an hour to three quarters of an hour to cycle to Camp Nou. The fastest and most bike-friendly route is as follows: From Plaça Catalunya, head to Rambla de Catalunya (on the corner is the Desigual clothing store). Cycle up this street until you reach the busy Avinguda Diagonal. Cross over and turn left. From now on, keep going straight until you arrive at Palau Reial. Here cross over and enter Carrer de Martí i Franquès, where you will automatically see the stadium.
You can also order a cab in advance to ensure that you are taken to the stadium quickly and safely and get home again.
Tram: There are also several trams stops near Camp Nou. The closest is the one near Palau Reial (T1, T2, T3).
History of Camp Nou
Because the former Barça stadium in the Les Corts district had become too small, construction of the current Camp Nou began in 1954. The “New Field” was opened on Sept. 24, 1957 – during Barcelona’s most important city festival, La Mercè. The first match played in the stadium was one against Warsaw of Poland. FC Barcelona won the match 4-2 and many more victories would follow.
It initially had room for 93,053 spectators, but over the years, over six thousand more seats were added. To be exact, the cost of building the stadium was 288,088,143 pesetas (that’s over 1.7 million euros). Nowadays, no concerts are held at Camp Nou, but in the past world-famous stars such as Michael Jackson, Julio Iglesias and U2 performed at the stadium.
The President Nuñez museum, named after former club president Josep Lluís Núñez, opened in 1984. The idea for an FC Barcelona museum originated as in the 1920s, so it took 60 years for it to finally happen.
