We had a fantastic trip to Madrid to see Real Madrid play against Las Palmas. I was dubious at 1st booking everything online together but having read the reviews on the website from other travellers, I booked. The hotel was nice similar to a premier inn over here, our tickets where ready when we arrived as the match was that afternoon. The match was brilliant we couldn't have asked for better seats, we enjoyed the game and all in all would definitely be booking again with football breaks.co.uk
The service from start to finish by FootballBreak.co.uk was excellent, from booking online to arranging for the family to sit together on the airplane was perfect. The hotel was excellent and my children will never forget the experience. Barcelona is a great place for families, we used the bus tours to get to see all the sights and the stadium tour at the Camp Nou was amazing. Looks like Munich will be our next trip and we will be booking with FootballBreak.co.uk
Use the buses to tour the city, stay as close to the ground as possible. Eat at Pura Brasa, amazing tapas and we sat at a table that was a Table Footbal, Amazing.
We always dreamed of going to see Barcelona play, and thanks to football breaks that came true. Everything was prefect, the hotel location was perfect, the weather perfect and game and of course the nou camp, out of this world. Everything happened as football breaks said it would and all topped off with a fantastic price and package, can't wait to book up my next trip
Get to ground early and sample the build up, go to the rear of the nou camp, access 7 and see the players arrive in style.
Overall we had an excellent weekend break in Barcelona. The hotel- H10 Itaca is clean and comfortable with good service. It is in a good location close to Sants station. We flew with Norwegian which was good. The Barcelona match was great. Seats were a little bit low down (row 9) and you would get a better view of the game being higher up. However it was great to be there and experience football in that stadium. Barcelona is a fantastic city. The trip was booked very easily with footballbreak.co.uk and the football tickets were sent to our home in good time for the trip. The whole booking process was hitch free.
We only spent the weekend in Barcelona but would recommend longer to see more of the city.
Thought the trip was good value for money all in. We booked a hotel transfer through the hotel itself which was cheap enough (24 euros each way). The hotel was really nice. Yes it was a little bit tired looking but the rooms were clean and attended to every day. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were really good. At the match the atmosphere was not like UK grounds (all the noise came from one place in the stadium, but everyone livened up each time Madrid scored). Booking was so easy on the internet and all the documents we received clearly stated what we needed to do. The tickets arrived on the Friday evening and the seats were really good (we even got to see ourselves on tv many times when we reran the game when we got home). Madrid was a great city to visit. It's well worth buying the open top tour tickets (we did for two days and actually used the service to take us to the Bernabau for the match). The Royal Palace is well worth a visit. Great places to eat. Tapas bars are cheap and friendly. All in all a great weekend and we will be using footballbreaks.co.uk again and are already talking about doing the same next year in Barcelona.
Make sure you do the Bernabau Stadium tour and set aside a god couple of hours to do so. It was a truly fantastic experience. The gates open just 45 mins before the match starts so no need to get there mega early.
