For the second year in a row we have used Footballbreak.co.uk for our holiday. Both times we have had excellent service, fantastic hotels (clean, friendly and convenient) and brilliant seats - front row both times! We were worried the first year about tickets being at the hotel - but both times they have been waiting on our arrival. We would recommend them without hesitation and have passed their details on to friends to use.
Staying in the centre is easy, we walked to the stadium (just over an hour at a slow pace to see the sights and a couple of beers on the way) but the metro is so easy and you can get a 10 trip ticket which is cheap and easy to use. We also saw Rayo Vallecano who were at home the next day, bought tickets on the day from the Stadium - our son is 12 and had the best time, a very child friendly city.
This was our first trip , therefore naturally apprehensive that the 2 day event would run like clockwork . Ye of little faith ! What an absolutely fantastic experience and worth every penny. Excellent service with the 2 day package running as smooth as a Swiss watch !
Book quickly , the later you leave it the less chance you have of avoiding the increased airfare .
Total package was extremely professional. Tickets waiting for us at reception and hotel in a great location. Seats in stadium were above our expectations and we were fortunate to watch a thrilling match. Would recommend to anyone wanting to watch a match in Europe
The total package was excellent. Hotel was 5-10 min walk from the stadium and close to convenience stores and bars. The atmosphere was fantastic as we was only 3 rows from the front and close to the Madrid fans who constantly chant the Madrid songs. I'd prefer to have a total package rather than separate after this experience. The representatives of football break were brilliant, we was greeted inside the stadium and shown to a VIP area which needless to say was amazing. Madrid is a very nice city, easy to navigate due to a system similar to New York City, we took a tour of the city and really needed a day or two to explore, but more reason to go back in the future!
Do the stadium tour and visit the club shop! The tour is truly incredible and you could spend most of your day in there!
The hotel was only 5 stops on the metro which was only a 5 mins walk away from our hotel. The flights were fine with no delays, the match tickets were waiting for us at the hotel reception , I didn't even ask for them as they were passed to me with the room key when we checked in. The experience of seeing the nou camp for real took our breath away due to the actual size of it. I couldn't fault the whole package from the day I booked it to the getting all the information approx 10 days before we went as was said when I booked the package.
If you go in January make sure to wrap up warm as it was pretty cold on the night.
