As it's my 21st this year my dad treated me to a weekend in Barcelona as a premature birthday present and the whole experience is one I will never forget. The Rialto Hotel we stayed in was of a good standard, serving breakfast from 7.30-10.30am and offering a wide range of foods. As for the actual football match I couldn't have asked for much more with Lionel Messi producing a masterclass performance scoring 4 goals in the process.
I couldn't recommend visiting the Camp Nou on match day enough - it really is a unique experience. I would also suggest going on a bus tour of the city as there are some wonderful buildings and trademarks of the city. You can visit the Olympic Stadium (home of Espanyol) free of charge too which is an added bonus.
I am a big fan of the city and recommend it to anyone. We had plenty of time to see a few sights as well as watch the football. The stadium was amazing and so was the tour. I had numerous questions and booking queries for the plane and the servie received was great, I had no problem and the responses were quick and pleasant. If thinking of a trip and taking in a football match, I would really recommend Footballbreak.co.uk.
Make sure you invest in the city pass. The metro is really easy to use but it is simple to order and pick up at the airport.
The package as a whole was very reasonably priced, efficiently dealt with and organized very well. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric and the seats were very good. I have no complaints whatsoever about the package or footballbreak.co.uk
Ask the people around for advice, they are very friendly and quick to help you if they can.
I was very pleased with our trip to Barcelona, everything was very well organised. No problems checking in at the airport, the hotel was well situated within the City, giving good access to the local sights and attractions and within a good distance of Camp Neu. Extremely pleased with our match tickets - we had great seats and it was a great experience to be in the Stadium and see FC Barca win 4-2!! I would definitely book again with FootballBreak, it was much easier booking as a package rather than trying to organise everything separately and more cost effective too. Staff at FootballBreak were very helpful. Barcelona is a lovely city and we hope to return soon.
The metro is an excellent way of getting around the city - we bought a 3-day travel pass at the airport which allows you unlimited travel on the train/metro and bus around Barcelona - well worth the money and avoids the hassle of purchasing tickets each time you need to travel.
I was very happy on the information I was sent. It was the first time I have been to Barcelona, and I was travelling with a young child so I was worried about everything going OK. The information provided by yourselves was excellent, and it was very easy for me to "just get on and enjoy the trip". The stadium and match experience is amazing, I have already told fellow football supporters that The Nou Camp, Barcelona is "one of the 10 things you have to do before you die"... I am already planning on returning with friends, and will definatley be booking the trip with Footballbreak.co.uk.
