Overview

About the stadium

Camp Nou is the home stadium of FC Barcelona in the Catalan capital. Opened in September 1957, it long held the title of the largest stadium in Europe, with a capacity of over 99,000 spectators. In 2023, extensive renovations began aimed at increasing the capacity to 105,000 and modernizing the stadium.

History

Journey through time

Opening 1957

Construction began in March 1954, and it was inaugurated on September 24, 1957, with a match against Warsaw. The architects Francesc Mitjans, Josep Soteras, and Lorenzo García Barbón designed the stadium in a late modernism style.

Cruyff Era and the Dream Team

In the 1990s, Johan Cruyff built the famous Dream Team here, leading Barcelona to its first European Cup in 1992.

Mès que un club

The club's motto "More than a club" is embodied right here — the stadium is a symbol of Catalan identity.

Atmosphere

Matchday

The atmosphere during El Clásico against Real Madrid is among the most intense in European football. Boixos Nois (the north stand) and Penya Almogàvers are traditional ultras groups. The anthem "El Cant del Barça" plays before every match, and fans sing it while standing.

Practical info

Visiting the stadium

Transport: Metro L3 (green) to station "Palau Reial" or L5 to station "Collblanc," from there it is about a 10-minute walk.

Stadium tour: Open daily from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM (last entry at 6:00 PM), shorter in winter. Price for adults is about €30.

Ticket offices: If you don't have a pre-purchased ticket, they open 90 minutes before the match at the Tribuna Sud. Resale prices rise quickly before El Clásico.

Accommodation: Les Corts is the closest neighborhood, but Eixample (10 minutes by metro) is livelier and offers a better selection.
