Itinerary
Day 1
Begin at Camp Nou with a welcome drink and an expert introduction to Spanish and Catalan football history, then move through FC Barcelona’s museum, the Espanyol/Cornellà football hub, and finish in Gràcia at Nou Sardenya.
WARM-UP: Meet at Barça Cafe – Welcome drink & Spanish football history
Gather at Barça Cafe near Camp Nou for your complimentary beer or soft drink while your expert guide gives an engaging overview of Spanish and Catalan football history: early local clubs, the rise of La Liga, and the political and cultural role of football in Catalonia. This session sets the scene before entering the museum.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring ID if you plan to take the complimentary alcoholic drink (18+ requirement in Spain).
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early to find the meeting point inside/near Barça Cafe; the cafe sits adjacent to Camp Nou.
- Travel light—Camp Nou’s museum has bag checks; a small daypack is easiest to manage.
FIRST HALF: FC Barcelona – Museu del FC Barcelona & Camp Nou viewing point
Visit the FC Barcelona museum (Museu del FC Barcelona) for an immersive look at trophies, interactive exhibits, and official club displays. The guide will point out key exhibits, arrange time for the official FCB megastore, and provide a viewing point to observe the ongoing Camp Nou renovation works.
Tips from local experts:
- Museum audio guides may be offered by the venue; your guide will remain available to add context and answer questions.
- Official stores can be busy—if you plan to browse the FCB Megastore, leave 10–15 minutes within this block.
- Camp Nou renovations mean some areas may be closed; follow signage and your guide’s instructions for the best viewing points.
SECOND HALF: Espanyol & CE Cornellà experience (Cornellà de Llobregat)
After a private ride to the Cornellà football hub, you’ll get a close look at CE Cornellà’s intimate ground before an official guided tour of RCDE Stadium (RCD Espanyol). The RCDE visit includes the audiovisual experience, press room, dressing rooms, VIP stands, and pitchside/bench photo opportunities, followed by time at the Espanyol club shop.
Tips from local experts:
- Transfers between Camp Nou and Cornellà are by private ride and will be handled by the operator—expect ~30–45 minutes travel depending on traffic.
- Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket; stadium interiors can be air-conditioned/cooler than outside.
- If you want specific merchandise, set aside time at the end of the RCDE visit to browse the club shop (stores close earlier than museums).
EXTRA TIME: Nou Sardenya (CE Europa) & Gràcia grassroots football
Finish with Nou Sardenya, home of historic CE Europa in the Gràcia neighborhood. Enjoy a final complimentary drink, hear stories about local clubs and rivalries, and learn about Barcelona’s grassroots football culture. The tour concludes in Gràcia — a great area to continue exploring independently.
Tips from local experts:
- Access to Nou Sardenya can be limited during summer (kids’ camps); if visiting in July/August expect shorter or exterior-only access.
- Gràcia is pedestrian-friendly with many bars and plazas; plan onward plans in Plaça del Sol or Carrer de Verdi if you’re staying in the area.
- If you plan to continue in Gràcia, keep your guide’s phone number handy for quick local recommendations and meeting points.
