- Use public transport rather than driving on matchdays to avoid limited parking and traffic congestion; the stadium is in the Barcelona metropolitan area with multiple transit options into Cornellà de Llobregat.
- Arrive at least an hour before kickoff to clear security, soak up the pre-match atmosphere and avoid the busiest entry queues.
- If you're going on a non-match day, check the club's official site for tour or museum opening times-many visitors on matchdays miss the small club museum and trophy displays.
