The whole trip from start to finish was excellent. Flights on time and lovely hotel (Zenit Barcelona) in the perfect position to walk to and from the match. Our seats at the match were unbelievable and very happy that all four of us were sat together. The game itself was superb and the atmosphere was fab. The locals were very friendly and we never saw any hint of trouble with fans. We extended our stay to four days as Barcelona is a wonderful city with lots to do and see and great places to eat. The whole trip was planned well and went so smoothly…thank you.
Top tips….get to the match at least 2hrs before kick off to enjoy the atmosphere with the fans. Do the stadium tour before so you can work out where you are sitting and which gate you need to access the your seats. Taxi's around the city are very cheap and great to use.
Overall the trip was excellent questions answered accurately and with speed. Flight transfers good by taxi cheap fast tickets excellent stadium tour a must do. Only things that could be better breakfast selection at hotel no tea coffee facilities in the room . Room wasn't ready when we arrived and not aware of having to pay tax on departure.
Get the bus tour tickets as cheap easy way to get around and see it all.
We had never heard of FootballBreak but wanted to see a match as part of our Barcelona holiday so we anxiously booked. We were so glad we did as we were really impressed with the service. Everything ran like clockwork and any email question we had, was very quickly replied to. It rained for a bit the night we went and our seats were even under cover! (We went for the mid-priced seats) The atmosphere was amazing and we saw 2 Messi goals! We would definitely book through FootballBreak again. Our son is now desperate to go to Madrid!
Tip: If you want to see other sights too, book online before you go.
Milan derby, great atmosphere. 3rd package, so I know it works smoothly.
A fantastic football experience in a fantastic city. We chose the Best Western Dante Hotel which is an excellent base and ideal for access to the tourist attractions and the Camp Nou. The staff could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay. 80,000+ in the stadium and a decent game made for an awesome atmosphere. We extended our stay to four nights and very glad we did, there is plenty to see and do. Everything that Football Breaks advised and arranged prior to our trip happened without a hitch, we would definitely recommend using them based on our experience on this trip
Tip: Make sure that you set out in good time for the game, the city's transport and cab service comes under a lot of pressure when Barcelona are playing at home. Be prepared for long waits for transport/cabs after the game. We ended up walking, took about an hour which was no hassle at all. Prices are pretty much the same as London as Sterling is relatively weak Try Pura Brasa restaurant for king size paella, steaks, ribs etc If you want to get in to some places like the Sagrada Famillia book well in advance, there is little chance of getting tickets on the day. The Green Bus tour is worth going on, also stop off on the way and visit Tibidabo for the views of the city, cathedral etc. Although we didn't experience any problems there are constant warnings about pickpockets so keep your wits about you!
