About Camp Nou

The name is Catalan for 'new field': the stadium opened in 1957, when the club had outgrown its old ground. Ever since, Camp Nou has been the home of FC Barcelona and Europe's largest football stadium. Stars known far beyond football have played here, and it has hosted European finals and World Cup matches.

In 2023 a major rebuild began: the stands are being raised, a roof will go over them and capacity will grow to about 105,000. The team is back on its home pitch, but parts of the stands, museum and tour reopen in stages, so check what's included on the club's site before you go.

The museum and stadium tour

The FC Barcelona Museum is one of the most visited museums in Catalonia. It displays Champions League and La Liga trophies, Ballon d'Or awards and the shirts and boots of legendary players, while multimedia rooms tell the story of more than a century of the club.

The stadium tour usually takes in the stands with a view of the pitch, a dressing room, the players' tunnel, the dugout and the press room. The route depends on the stage of building work and the fixture list, so it can change. Tickets are sold on the club's official site for a set time.

What to see at Camp Nou

  • The club museum — trophies, Ballon d'Or awards and legends' kit.
  • The stands — the view over the pitch.
  • The dressing room — where players get ready.
  • The tunnel and pitchside — the team's walk out.
  • The press room — where coaches face reporters.
  • The club shop — shirts and souvenirs.

Going to a match

A match day at Camp Nou is an experience of its own: tens of thousands of fans sing the club anthem and giant banners unfurl over the stands. La Liga fixtures are confirmed close to the date, so the exact day and kick-off time can shift by a day or two.

Tickets are sold on the club's site and at official ticket offices, and season-ticket holders release some seats they can't use. Arrive an hour early, as there are bag checks. On match days the stadium tour is shortened or moved, so plan around it.

Tips for your visit

Weekday mornings are quietest. Before you go, check on the club's site which areas are open, as the route changes with the works. You can visit the museum and shop without the tour. Children usually love the dressing room, the trophies and the interactive rooms.

Camp Nou is well away from the old town, in the business district of Les Corts, so pair it with a walk along Avinguda Diagonal or a visit to Pedralbes. There are plenty of cafés nearby, though they're packed on match days. The official shop costs more than street stalls, but the kit is genuine.
