Camp Nou Tour – How to Tour the Home of FC Barcelona
About the Camp Nou and the Camp Nou Tour
Barcelona, Spain is a place famous for its culture, churches, unique architecture, and soccer team. During my visit to Barcelona, I was able to view Camp Nou, the home of FC Barcelona. Completed in 1957, Camp Nou has a seating capacity of 99,354 fans. The stadium set Camp Nou’s attendance record in 1982 when 121,500 participated in a mass with Pope John Paul II. In addition to being the home of FC Barcelona, Camp Nou is also a concert venue. Some of the artists that have performed at Camp Nou include Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Michael Jackson, U2, and the Three Tenors.
Although I initially planned to look at the stadium from the outside, the Camp Nou Tour offered a chance to get inside the stadium. The cost of the tour was €26.00. I quickly decided to take the tour as it would not only allow me to go inside the stadium but also the locker room, suites, press box, and restaurants.

Getting to Camp Nou
Getting to Camp Nou was easy. I accessed the stadium via the Collblanc Metro Station. After getting out of the station walk about to the north for about one-quarter kilometer. The stadium will be visible within a minute or two of leaving the metro station. It is also possible to get to Camp Nou from the Les Corts Metro Station and Palau Reial Station.
Taking a Tour of Camp Nou
After arriving at Camp Nou, I waited in the queue to purchase tickets for the tour. The wait took less than twenty minutes, and I entered the stadium after going through a metal detector. The tour began by taking us through the Hall of Fame for FC Barcelona. Not being a soccer fan, I wasn’t particularly overwhelmed by all of the soccer trophies. I did enjoy seeing the Olympic torch from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
After leaving the Hall of Fame, our tour took us into the seating area of Camp Nou. Camp Nou has a seating capacity of just under 100,000 people. The tour was mostly, and I was able to move around and look at the stadium from various angles. The seats were primarily plastic and did not seem as comfortable as the seats in American Stadiums that I have visited.
The tour left the seating area and returned inside Camp Nou. Our next stops included the media room where players are interviewed and the locker room. One unusual amenity in the locker room was the large whirlpool in the middle of the shower area. Following a walkthrough of the premium VIP area which included a nice restaurant, our tour took us field level. It was fun to stand on the actual grass that FC Barcelona uses during their matches.
FC Barcelona Fan Shop
As the tour ended, our final stop took us through the largest fan shop I have ever seen. The FC Barcelona fan shop covered multiple floors and had everything from a fan of FC Barcelona could want. I did not make any purchases as the prices were extremely high. Overall, I was delighted with my tour of Camp Nou and would recommend it for any sports fans.
