Spotify Camp Nou Experience Tickets

Barça is a soccer team known all over the world, and the passion for its colors transcends all borders. So much so that visiting the Spotify Camp Nou, the Barcelona Football Club stadium, is one of the most demanded experiences.

However, due to the works that are currently being carried out, you can't visit the pitch but you can visit the museum and feel as if you were on the field thanks to a virtual reality experience. Read on to find out more.

If during your visit to Barcelona Barça is not playing at home (or simply, you can't or don't want to go to the match), there is the possibility to visit the field outside match days and hours:

• Tickets for the FC Barcelona Museum with immersive experience - from $21.
• Saving pack: Visit to Camp Nou, FC Barcelona Museum and Barcelona sightseeing bus - from $108.

The first thing you should know if you want to see the Spotify Camp Nou is that the stadium is currently under construction, so the interior can not be visited temporarily. However, with tickets for the FC Barcelona Museum with immersive experience you can sign up for the tour in a virtual experience with which you can enjoy as if you were stepping on the grass itself.

At the same time, you will be among the first to see the architectural design planned for the new Espai Barça, the future headquarters of the FC Barcelona team. The ambitious project will be operational in 2026.

You will also be able to visit the new Barça Museum, whose exhibition is made up of interactive elements that tell the history of the club and take you on a journey through its best moments. You will also see objects donated by prominent players of the team, football-themed works of art by artists such as Dalí, Miró, Tàpies or Subirachs, and an exclusive area dedicated to Messi.

Recommended: If you are on a tight budget or simply prefer to visit the Camp Nou at your own pace.

If you want to make your visit special, a guided tour of Camp Nou with access to the Museum and bus route through Barcelona is the perfect way to get the atmosphere of the field as if you were living a match day.

This tour picks you up by bus in the center of Barcelona and takes you through much of the city (with several routes available) and of course to Camp Nou. There you will make an interactive tour in which you will see all the places of the field in a virtual way: the locker rooms, the field, the press room, the chapel and the corridors of the stadium, the box and its bar. You can also visit the complete exhibition of the FC Barcelona Museum.

With more than 30 stops, this tourist bus allows you to get to know the city and its main attractions with a 24 or 48 hour pass. But you will also take with you the great souvenir of being part of the Spotify Camp Nou Experiencie.

You also have the option of taking this same guided tour of Camp Nou and the FC Barcelona Museum in a small group of up to 25 people. In exchange, the duration of the tour is express and is reduced to 1 hour 30 minutes, visiting the same areas of the stadium. You will also have the possibility to continue exploring the Camp Nou at your leisure at the end of the experience.

Recommended: If you have little time in Barcelona or do not like large crowds of tourists when taking a tour.

Due to the remodeling of the stadium, it is currently not possible to visit the inside of the stadium and everything I tell you below will be enjoyed in a virtual way thanks to the interactive tour experience:

The stadium

Not only will you see the grass and the stands, you will also see the bench where the FC Barcelona players sit, the changing rooms where you can imagine the coach motivating the players with a speech a minute before going out to give their all on the field, and the tunnel through which they leave on match day to meet the roar of thousands of fans.

Then you can visit the press room, the Mixed Zone, where the players discuss the key play after the game, and the room from which the commentators broadcast the match.

The FC Barcelona Museum

The museum focuses on exploring the club's history and sporting achievements. Perhaps the most interesting thing to see is FC Barcelona's Champions League trophies, glistening in their display cases, and you might be delighted to know that you can have your photo taken holding a Champions League trophy.

Another highlight of the museum is the section dedicated to Lionel Messi, considered one of the best soccer players of all time, where you can see replays of his best goals and a summary of his achievements throughout his soccer career. Also, the museum houses works by Catalan artists related to soccer and usually shows temporary exhibitions related to this same sport that are usually worth seeing.

Virtual Reality Experience at Camp Nou

You can take a tour of the Camp Nou with virtual reality goggles, and although the experience only lasts a few minutes, it transports you right into a match day. You'll see the players in action, the stands packed with fans and feel the stadium magically come to life.

It is included in most tours but if you decide to visit the Camp Nou on your own, you can experience it by ordering the glasses at the ticket office. It costs 6 Euros, which is a very good price for an extra that will definitely add something special to your visit.

Alex's Traveller Tip

Avoid green clothes! When having your photo taken on the pitch, the color of your clothes will blend in with the green of the grass, spoiling a memory that you will surely want to keep for a lifetime.

The Camp Nou and the FC Barcelona Museum are one of the great attractions of the city for tourists, so I recommend you to buy your tickets in advance to avoid queues and make the best use of your time. In case you want to take a tour, the only way is to book in advance. At the Camp Nou ticket office you can add the Plus option to your ticket, which includes an audio guide and a virtual experience.

Here are a few tips to help you organize your visit, which will come in handy especially if you are not taking a tour of the stadium and are going to visit it on your own:

How to get to Camp Nou

The easiest way to get to the stadium is by metro, getting off at any of these three stops: Les Corts (L3), Badal (L5), or Collblanc (L9). The distribution of Barcelona's metro is quite simple so I recommend that you find which of these three lines is the closest to your accommodation and go directly to the Camp Nou.

To move around Barcelona by metro it is best to purchase a T-Casual card, a 10-trip voucher that you can use in all methods of public transport. You can also buy single tickets, but if you are going to travel by public transport in Barcelona, the 10-trip pass is much more worthwhile.

If you prefer to go to Camp Nou by bus, any of these will leave you at the door or quite close: 50, 54, 57, 70, 75, D20, H8, H10 and V3. The downside of going by bus is that traffic in Barcelona is usually quite congested so it will take a little longer, something to keep in mind when planning your visit.

Opening days and times

The Camp Nou is something special, as there are a good number of days a year that it is closed for matches. The official opening hours are as follows:

Match days

There are no tours on League or Spanish Cup match days. The FC Barcelona Museum opens up to 3 hours before kick-off and reopens 90 minutes before kick-off, until the start of the match.

On Champions League match days there are no tours and only the second floor of the FC Barcelona Museum can be visited until 15:00. The day before the matches the tour route is modified and you can access all areas of the Camp Nou and the Museum except the second floor of the latter.

FC Barcelona can change the schedule or admission conditions at any time and for any reason, so if one day you are unlucky enough to have a special training or any other cause, you may not be able to take the tour or access the museum. Also, from July 1 to August 31, at Easter or Christmas there are special schedules that you should check on the official website of the Camp Nou as they vary each year.

Best time to visit the Camp Nou

If you want to visit the Camp Nou avoiding the crowds of tourists, I recommend you to go as early as possible. At 10:00 in the morning there are still not too many visitors and you can walk around the field quietly and then you will have the whole day to explore Barcelona.

However, keep in mind that the high season for visitors is between April and October, so if you are going to be in Barcelona during this part of the year you will inevitably find groups of tourists at the Camp Nou.

How long does it take to visit Camp Nou and the FC Barcelona Museum?

It totally depends on your passion for soccer, but most visitors tend to spend between 1 hour 30 minutes and up to 3 hours on the Camp Nou experience, which includes visiting the stadium and touring the Barça museum.

The Sagrada Familia is the most important visit of your trip to Barcelona. It is a very popular attraction among tourists, but luckily in my guide on Sagrada Familia - Skip The Line Tickets I give you a few tips and tricks that will allow you to visit it as if you have been living in the city all your life.
