[Europe] Visiting Camp Nou, The Largest Stadium in Europe





Are you a Barça fans? If the answer is yes, then you should feel the Barça experience by visiting Camp Nou. Camp Nou is a football stadium in Barcelona. It has been the home of FC (Football Club) Barcelona, and it also the largest stadium in Europe. Your visit to Barcelona won't be complete without visiting this famous football stadium.



Honestly, i don't really like football. All in now about Barça is only Lionel Messi. It's also not about his achievement. I know him because of his good looking =P However, my hubby likes football a lot. And that's one of the reason why we visited Camp Nou at our Europe Trip. The other reason is, because of my curiosity about what is it looks like inside the stadium.


Well, it was the first day for us to explore Barcelona city. We started by taking a Metro from Catalunya (line L3), and stopped at Palau Reial. From there we walked for about 600 metres to reach the stadium.


 When we arrived, we saw the infamous "Pans & Company" near the entrance gate. Since we haven't had breakfast, and it also still too early, so we decided to have a breakfast there.





Pans & Company is a famous fast food brand in Barcelona. You can see their store in every corner in Barcelona. One of them is located at Camp Nou. They're known for the sandwiches. Instead using a soft bun (like another sandwich), they use the crispy bread for their sandwiches. To be honest, i don't really like that kind of bread.

After had a quick breakfast, we're starting to go inside the stadium. Just for your information, we've bought the ticket in advance by online. I suggest you to do that as well. Since this stadium is a famous attraction (and get a Certificate of Exellence by TripAdvisor) in Barcelona, they always have a long queue at the ticket counter. You can buy the ticket at FC Barcelona's Official Website or Viator . Anyway, with the ticket entrance to Camp Nou, not just the stadium, but you also can visit FC Barcelona Museum which located before you go inside the stadium. Inside the Museum, you can see the history of Barça from the past until  now.



After pass the entrance gate, you will pass the long path with some pictures about Barça.





When you arrive inside the museum, the first room that you'll see is Trophy Room. You can see all the trophy that they received in this room.

Before we arrive at the stadium, we passed a stairs with a little chapel.

Before you end your visit at the Camp Nou, the path will lead you to their official merchandise store, FC Botiga Megastore. Inside this store they're selling T-shirt, shoes, soccer ball, and any other stuff about Barça.
