The best accommodation in Barcelona
Camp Nou is the main stadium of one of the most famous football clubs , FC Barcelona, in Catalan its name means "new pitch" and sometimes you will come across the misspelled name "Nou Camp".
The stadium was completed in 1957 and, with a capacity of 99,500, is ranked as the 1st largest stadium in Europe and the 5th largest stadium in the world. Because of its size alone, the stadium is often visited by non-football travellers.
A tour of the stadium and the Barça museum
The stadium can also be visited outside of football matches. FC Barcelona sells classic tickets for a tour of the stadium, including the adjacent Barça Museum, where you can learn all about the club's history, present and future.

For football fans, however, a tour of the empty stadium will certainly not be enough. Always buy tickets for matches only on the official fcbarcelona.com website, where they are usually available about 3 weeks before the match.
However, depending on the attractiveness of the opponent, they are often sold out right away, so be sure to monitor the site regularly and subscribe to receive information on when tickets go on sale.
