Nou Camp - FC Barcelona

Nou Camp - FC Barcelona
Nou Camp, where FC Barcelona has played since 1957, is one of football's great stadiums, a vast cauldron of a ground that holds 98,000 spectators. That's a lot of noise when the team is doing well, and an awful lot of silence when it isn't. If you can't get there on match day (and you can usually pick up tickets if you try) but love the team, it's worth visiting the club museum.

The excellent guided tour of the Nou Camp - FC Barcelona stadium takes you through the players' tunnel to the dugouts and then, via the away team's changing room, on to the President's box, where there is a replica of the European Cup, which the team won at Wembley in 1992 and again in Paris in 2006. The club Nou Camp - FC Barcelona museum commemorates those glory years, making much of the days when the likes of Kubala, Cruyff, Maradona, Koeman and Lineker trod the hallowed turf, with pictures, video clips and souvenirs spanning the century that has passed since the Swiss business executive Johan Gamper and the Englishman Arthur Witty first founded the club. Last tour begins an hour before closing time.
