Fodor's Review:
If you're in Barcelona between September and June, a chance to witness the celebrated FC Barcelona play soccer (preferably against Real Madrid, if you can get in) at Barcelona's gigantic stadium, Camp Nou, is a seminal Barcelona experience. Just the walk down to the field from the Diagonal with another hundred thousand fans walking fast and hushed in electric anticipation is unforgettable. Games are played Saturday night at 9 or Sunday afternoon at 5, though there may be international Champion's League games on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings as well. Ask your hotel concierge how to get tickets, or call the club in advance. The stadium seats 98,000, and fills to capacity for big games. A worthwhile alternative to seeing a game is the guided tour of the FC Barcelona museum and facilities. The museum has a five-screen video showing the club's most memorable goals, along with player biographies and displays chronicling the history of one of Europe's most colorful soccer clubs.
