Barcelona is a great city to visit took my 8 year old grandson who really enjoyed it.Take the open top bus tour on a short break you can see an awful lot.
If you are a football fan you have to do it the & Football Breaks are the best to do it with.
An excellent, hassle-free way to attend El Clasico. No-nonsense, efficient flights with Easyjet, a fine hotel in the centre of Madrid and superb category 1 match tickets in a magnificent stadium. Fantastic atmosphere and an incredible match. A vibrant city which will continue to fascinate in repeated visits.
Transfer from airport to hotel via the city Metro is easy. Buy a multi-day travel pass. Our hotel across the street from the Opera Metro station was ideal. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, with the Plaza Mayor and narrow streets of the atmospheric old town minutes away.
We booked Barcelona for 3 nights to see Barcelona vs Bate in the champions league, I was abit spectical about booking at first because it seems so cheap and too good to be true but I can honestly say I'm so happy I did, we had everything emailed over to us including our flight, hotel and match tickets all we had to do was print them out, the flights were spot on, we also booked a transfer from the airport to our hotel through A2B transfers which Footballbreak sent us a link for. When we arrived our transfer was waiting and took us to the hotel which was really quick and them when we arrived to Sunotel Aston we where checked in quickly by the very friendly receptionist. On match day we spend the day sight seeing around La Rambles and the Port, this cost about €9 euro to get too from the hotel, then about 2 hours before kick off got a Taxi to Nou Camp, this cost about €10 from La Rambles, the atmosphere around the ground was unreal and they where handing out free Barcelona flags to anyone which made us feel more apart of it, our seats in the stadium where excellent and where very easy to find, the game itself was brilliant and Barcelona won 3-0. Me & my girlfriend had the most amazing time in this beautiful city and will most definitely be booking again with FootballBreak.com.
Go to La Rambles on match day then get a cab to Nou Camp, brilliant day and only €10 for the cab.
Having everything handy and bookable in one place meant that it was so much easier to organise a trip to see two great teams play. The atmosphere in the Bernabeu was fantastic (who knew they would have heaters above the seats as well). The flight and the hotel were both fine - I'd specifically picked out low-end flights and a cheaper hotel so that was what I was expecting. I also quite enjoyed being able to explore the city a bit, before needing to come home - we took in a bit of culture at the Prado, which was great.
Get a tourist pass at the airport - it was €14 or so for the two days I was there but covers your transit to/from the airport and acts as a travelcard for the rest of the time. If you're going to the Bernabeu, the station "Santiago Bernabeu" is really close by to the stadium - head there and you'll find it!
We had a fantastic trip to Madrid to see Real Madrid play against Las Palmas. I was dubious at 1st booking everything online together but having read the reviews on the website from other travellers, I booked. The hotel was nice similar to a premier inn over here, our tickets where ready when we arrived as the match was that afternoon. The match was brilliant we couldn't have asked for better seats, we enjoyed the game and all in all would definitely be booking again with football breaks.co.uk
