Re: Barcelona Travel Lucky you, have a blast... and like Monty says, don't sleep! Do make time for the Camp Nou tour, museum, grounds, botiga (store)... btw, I think the only dressing room you can go into is the visiting team one.
Re: Barcelona Travel Thanks guys.. LOL Don't sleep? Oh.. I do hope to see Messi, Xavi,... Lockers (Too much of a dream ha? ) I will makes time to go as most places as possible and that time of year I think a new jersey will be available.. definitely buy one or I'll just buy the discount one this season jersey (the year of three trophies.. Ops.. ) .. Too bad that the team probably in USA or Asia that time... I really wish to go to the game as well.. Oh.. for the grand tour.. Do I need to pay fee or is it free? And any website for my reference? (I know.. it's 3 months to go but I'm just overexcited)
Re: Barcelona Travel For any information, check out the official site: www.fcbarcelona.cat It's summer, so hours might be different. There is a fee for visiting the museum which includes the stadium tour itself. You can walk around the grounds and visit La Botiga (store) at no cost except what you spend at the shop for all your Barça goodies, hehe.
Re: Barcelona Travel Barça is awesome.... be sure to leave plenty of time to explore Barri Gotic. There is a FC Botiga at the northwest corner of the Plaça Catalunya. We stayed right above it in a friend's apartment. I have to say that the second most popular team in town must be Manchester United, followed by Chelsea, then Spain, then Espanyol.
Re: Barcelona Travel I am going to London with my old man in July. We are very interested to attend the Wembley Cup on 24 July, when Spurs will play Barca. Does anyone know what I should do to get two tickets? Should I enroll to be a member? Thanks in advance.
Re: Barcelona Travel I will be in Barça for the CL final on the 27th. Anyone know of the best place to watch the match? I am assuming every tv in the city will be on, but where is THE place? Also, does anyone know if public screens will be available? Also - where should I be when we win?
Re: Barcelona Travel The answer to all your questions is Las Ramblas, every bar on the street will be packed with people watching. If Barça wins, get ready not to sleep.
Re: Barcelona Travel woooohooooo! voy a barcelona this next weekend. My dad just called (huge barca fan too) and he asked if I wanted to go with him to barcelona for the weekend, see the game in a bar and hope for a result and a party
Re: Barcelona Travel thanks! if they clinch while im there ill be sure to take a bunch of pictures and post them!
Re: Barcelona Travel do they have bars for English fans in the City? like in magaluf every bar is english..are there bars like Linekers bar in Barcelona so ManU/English fans can watch and have a laugh with/at Barca fans vice versa before and during and after the game? were there many Chelk$i fans out there during there match?
Re: Barcelona Travel If you walk down the Ramblas toward the Mediterranean, hang a left at the McDonalds and down about 100 feet on the right, you will see "My Bar" or something like that. It's definitely an English pub.
Re: Barcelona Travel k thanks..wasnt going unfortunately but was just wondering. seems theres quite alot around that area just had a look on google.
Barcelona 5/31 weekend Will be in Barcelona on the 28th and I've always wanted to go to a European match, is it a home or away fixture that weekend? How hard is it to get tickets, in general, for a La Liga match?
Re: Barcelona 5/31 weekend ^^^Barça will be away at Deportivo when you're in town. Espanyol on the other hand will end the season playing at home in Barcelona at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. If interested, check out their website for tickets and details. http://www.rcdespanyol.com/
Re: Barcelona Travel Thats a shame, but will definitely settle for whatever. How far away is their stadium from Las Ramblas? And should I get tickets ahead of time or can I get them the day of the game?
Re: Barcelona Travel Yes, it sure is a shame not being able to catch Barça. I gave you the info regarding the "enemy" team because you mentioned a "european" match. In any case, I'm sure it would be fun for you. Check the website for ticket info, I don't really have that. It's not far from Las Ramblas, lots of public transport available... or a nice hike...
Re: Barcelona Travel What time do games usually start and how far ahead of time would you recommend getting there?
Re: Barcelona 5/31 weekend Hi all.. I'm planning my trip now.. Can anyone suggest a resonable hotel for me? That close to everywhere and public transport.. Thanks.
Re: Barcelona 5/31 weekend Hotels, I don't know about. I've stayed with friends, but also in this awesome hostel. If you stay here be prepared to party til you pass out. http://www.kabul.es/
Re: Barcelona 5/31 weekend Sound great! thanks.. but I think my friend already booked of of the hotel there while I'm still looking..
When does the 09/10 schedule come out? I want to plan a trip to see Barça again and was wondering if anyone knows when the 2009/2010 schedule is normally released? Gotta line up the airline and hotel details. Thanks Joe
Re: Barcelona Travel Back in 06, my brother and I stayed at a hostel in the Las Ramblas area. It was an easy subway/tube ride to the neighborhood around the stadium and about a 2 to 3 block walk from the station. As for tickets, we went on a Friday morning to Camp Nou and got in line (about 30 min wait) to get tickets for a Saturday match against Sevilla. Then we took the stadium/museum tour and spent way too much money at the Barca store . After the match 90k+ people flooded the streets and brought traffic to a stand still so head for the subway/tube stations. We found 2 lost retired Irish gents who were staying in our general area so we helped them find their way back and they repaid the favor by buying us beers til we were all staggering down Las Ramblas. Good times and a Barca win! Looking forward to heading back this fall.
