About Camp Nou#

Camp Nou is the principal football stadium of FC Barcelona in the Les Corts district of Barcelona, Spain, and one of Europe’s largest football arenas. The stadium opened in 1957 and seats roughly 99,000 spectators.

The venue is primarily used for FC Barcelona home matches and also hosts concerts and large events. Many visitors take the club’s stadium tour and museum to see the trophy collection, dressing rooms and pitch-side views when matches are not on.

Camp Nou is well served by public transport within Barcelona and is a major destination for sports tourism and fans of the club.

  • Opening year and capacity: Originally opened in 1957, the stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 99,000, making it one of the largest football stadiums in Europe.
  • Visitor access: Matchday access is by ticket only and crowds can be large; guided stadium tours and the club museum provide a way to visit on non-match days.

What to See#

  • Camp Nou Experience (museum and tour): The public tour route and museum area that covers the club’s history, trophies and changing-room displays and includes access to the pitch perimeter.
  • Pitch and stands: The playing surface of FC Barcelona’s home stadium and the view from the main spectator stands; the venue is used for domestic and international football matches.

How to Get to Camp Nou#

Camp Nou sits in Barcelona’s Les Corts district. Take Metro L3 (green line) to Les Corts, Palau Reial or Maria Cristina stations and walk about 5-10 minutes to the stadium. By car it is a short drive west from central Barcelona (around 3-5 km depending on start point) via Avinguda de Joan XXIII and surrounding roads.

Tips for Visiting Camp Nou#

  • Visit Camp Nou on a non-match day and arrive right at opening to tour the pitch, locker rooms and museum before the larger groups arrive; match days close most tour access so check the fixtures calendar before booking.
  • Prebook the official Camp Nou Experience online to skip ticket lines and use Les Corts metro (L3) or Plaça d'Espanya connections to avoid congested streets on match-free days.
  • Don't skip the museum audio-guide and the press/players' areas included in the tour - many visitors focus only on the stands but miss those behind-the-scenes sections that add context to the club's history.
