This is the second time we have booked a football break with Football Break.Co.Uk and just as the last time, (watching Barcelona) everything went smoothly and we got to watch a great game at the San Siro.
We were kept up to date with information via e-mails before we left and received all the documentation in plenty of time. We were informed of a change of time to the game several weeks before which allowed us to also get to watch Juventus on the same day.
The atmosphere at both games was fantastic, with nearly full stadiums full of noisy, passionate and friendly supporters. We stayed near the San Siro so were able to walk to the game. We also had plenty of time on our break to take a stadium tour and explore the city.
We are already planning our next trip.
If you can afford it, it is worth paying a bit extra to get seats closer to the pitch.
The whole trip was excellent, the city of Madrid beautiful helped by the weather. The game and atmosphere something I've never experienced before. Organisation of the trip first class. The only small complaint was the hotel room very average but bearable for only 3 nights.
Pre book the stadium tour
The total package was very good. The hotel ´Husa Pedralbes´ was within reasonable distance from the stadium. The hotel facilities could have been a little better in terms of breakfast, lunch, dinner and restaurant facilities. Other than this, the overall package was very good and I would certainly use Football Breaks again.
Ideal to book your hotel close to the stadium. Do take the Bus City tours which gives you a very good flavour of the history and heritage of Barcelona and Catlanya region.
The whole experience was amazing. We went to the Nou Camp to watch Barcelona. Choosing a package and tailoring it to our needs couldn't have been easier on the website.
The hotel (abba sants)was excellent. It was a minutes walk from the station, which in turn was only about 5 stops from the airport. The ground was about a 10 minute walk away.
We picked a match against a smaller side and went for the top priced tickets as it was a once in a lifetime trip. I won't ruin the amazing surprise that we had, but go for these tickets is more than worth it. Tickets for the match were waiting for us as promised when we checked in a the hotel. We were promised 3 seats together and we got this, tho our seat numbers were 1,3 & 5 this will happen to you. at the ground even numbers are on the left of the block and odd numbers are on the other side. The match was good with Messi, Neymar and Xavi all scoring.
On the Monday we took the tour. We got your tickets on the day. This was our only mistake. We had to queue for an hour to get them. Buy them in advance, it's the same price (23 Euro) and you won't have to queue.
We chose to go out on the Friday and the whole weekend was amazing. Saturday afternoon we headed down to the waterfront there is an Irish bar that shows two 3PM premiership matches live.
Like I said It was to be a once in a lifetime experience, that has now changed, next Season we're of to Milan and the following season Munich. I can't rate this company or the experience highly enough.
A great break - although we were told our hotel room had been cancelled when checking in!!!!! Absolute panic and very embaressing. we rang the emergency number and it was sorted within half an hour. Seats were great and we wnjoyed the football thoroughly.Barcelona was amazing and we can't wait to return. The reps from Footballbreak answered all our queries quickly.
Take good walking shoes!
