Excellent trip and excellent value for money.Fantastic seats at San Ciro - worth the upgrade. Great atmosphere generated by both Inter and Verona fans. We arrived a couple of hours before the game to soak up the atmosphere and it was well worth it. Plenty to see in Milan but as with most of Italy - very expensive particularly within 1 Km of Doume. Metro fantastic value though and easy to navigate your way round the city on this. We used Terravision buses to transfer from Bergamo Airport to central Milan - really cheap and excellent service.
We went, as a family to see Real Madrid v Seville, and have a short city break in Madrid. The whole package was excellent, we were able to amend it to suite our wants. We stayed for 3 nights, changed our seats in the stadium, flight times and we were able to choose a hotel in Madrid’s old town. When we needed to speak to the representatives from FootballBreak they were friendly and very helpful. The match tickets were waiting for us when we checked into our hotel, and even though the match kicked off late (10pm local time) it was a great spectacle (7 - 3 to Madrid).
As we chose a hotel in the centre of the old town of Madrid and used taxis to and from the stadium. Whilst it was busy after the game, there were plenty of taxis (we only had to wait a couple of minutes) and they are not an unreasonable price. We also used the local taxis to and from the airport, again with no issues and very speedy. Madrid is a beautiful city and, for a capital city, the cost of eating and drinking out isn’t unreasonable.
This is my second booking with FootballBreak. Having had a successful first trip to Barcelona, I did not hesitate to use the company again for our trip to Munich. Again, I was very happy with the total package and Munich surpassed all expectations. Fantastic atmosphere and everything is so well run!
I would recommend visting the stadium's museum, and taking a stadium tour in addition to watching a game. Also, if you stay and extra day, do take a trip to Bayern Munich's training ground. If they play on Saturday, you can watch them train on Monday (at 11am). We saw all of the 1st team train, and Pepe Guardiola signed my son's shirt - unbeatable experience! To make it a complete lads holiday - a trip to the BMW museum is certainly worth taking.
Fear not ! This internet based company delivers. It was with some trepidation I booked tickets for El Classico as you pay for the package/flights/tickets upfront and the tickets are delivered to your hotel the night before the match. The booking process is straightforward and clever givng you the opportunity to match a hotel according to your budget/requirements, Rebecca was extremely helpful on telephone and by email contact, I received email updates, the hotel voucher arrived a week before as promised and the tickets were delivered to the hotel the night before the match as promised. Of course you accept you pay more than face value, but FootballBreak.co.uk deliver. I would not hesitate to use the company again. We had a great time.
Make sure you have arranged your transport back to the city centre after the match. Do not rely on flagging down a taxi!
Me and my friend went to see Real Madrid vs Juventus. The total package was fine and I recieved all the information that I though was neccesary. Only one thing which was a problem was that I got given a double bed room when I did book a 2 single beds. Luckily the hotel was able to switch rooms. The atmosphere was amazing, the best stadium I have ever been too. Madrid is a very beautiful city with very good food.
Buy a metro pass! It cost me 18 euro's for 3 days. Go to the airport T1, T2, T3 metro station and purchase it. Also visit an information centre to pick up a street map. Visit the Plaza Mayor, the paella their was fantastic! I recommend staying for 2 nights just to experience most of Madrid.
