Took a gamble on company as first time booked a trip liked this as you never know what you get when booking on the internet. Well during the whole process I should have not have worried as the communication from start to finish was excellent and any queries were dealt with swiftly. Wish all companies could be like this.
We stayed near termini station and then had only a 5 min walk from Metro which helped when visiting sites and getting to stadium.
Choosing Football Break was a great move. From start to finish this trip was one of the best we have taken & the level of service we received was first class. We chose to go to Barcelona vs. Granada and it didn't disappoint. From a cost standpoint of the total package it could not be beaten, we stayed in a fantastic Hotel (Adagio) which was in easy distance of the area's we wanted to be in, and very easy train ride to the Nou Camp. The stadium itself did not disappoint at all, a great atmosphere and to see my 2 boys faces when Messi scored his hat-trick was priceless! Overall this trip was outstanding and we would defiantly recommend Football Break to anyone as they will not dissappoint.
The package was excellent. The service from the team at Footballbreak.co.uk was fantastic. I have been a life long Barcelona fan and visited the Camp Nou on several occasions but this experience beat the rest hands down. Messi got a hatrick, the city is beautiful, the hotel was centrally located, and the flights were hassle free. Overall, excellent stag weekend.
Visit the Barcelona Cathedral.
I cannot fault any aspect of this break to Barcelona. As a football mad mum, I went with my son for his 19th birthday as a surprise and we both had a thoroughly brilliant time. Flights were on time, getting to hotel was straightforward although I did some research before hand on the metro system. The hotel was basic but very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The stadium was spectacular and the match was amazing as was the tour we did of it the following day. The weather was very warm for the first week in January so enabled us to walk around the city comfortably and see the sights. I would go back again to watch another match but extend the stay by a couple of days to see more of this beautiful city and its beautiful game!!
If you do the tour of the stadium leave yourself a good two hours plus, even if it states an hour and a half, in high season it will be very busy but it is well worth the very reasonable price.
What an amazing football trip! The whole thing was organised really well (even the tickets etc printed out one step at a time, so all was good for "a bear of very little brain"), like me. It all flowed from one thing to the next without a problem. The eats were high up, but gave an excellent view of Messi's hat-trick! The city itself was excellent and well worth spending a couple of days looking at the superb architecture (and tapas bars).
Well worth getting a Tourist Bus Ticket for the non match day. We caught the blue route bus which also take you out to the stadium, where we did the Stadium Tour (brilliant). Allow a couple of hours for the tour. We then continued the blue route tour and swapped to the red route to get back to the hotel.
