This was our third trip with football break to Barcelona and, like the first two trips, the whole package was excellent. The upgraded match tickets offered by footballbreak were well worth the extra money as we got a great view of the game in both halves. The game itself was great to watch, two top teams made for a fantastic atmosphere and to see the worlds greatest player score the winner in a 3-2 Barcelona win, we couldn't have asked for any more.
In terms of the city, there is endless things to do and places to visit in Barcelona, I'd personally recommend buying a two day ticket on a jump on-jump off tour bus which enables you to visit almost all of the city's great attractions at your own speed. As previously stated, this was our third trip with footballbreak and I would recommend them to anyone, great value for money, simple to book and always on hand to answer any questions.
For future fans visiting Barcelona I'd recommend extending your trip an extra day or two as its a place with so much to do. The stadium tour at the Nou Camp is a must, as is a look around the Sagrada Familia and of course a long walk down the Ramblas.
My girlfriend and myself attended the Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad match at the end of January 2015, this was our second trip with Football Break to Madrid, and was equally as enjoyable. The ease of booking is a great help, and the Madrid experience is one we would definitely recommend
Purchase a Metro ticket for the duration of your stay, such an easy way to get around the city
I went to Madrid last weekend. We flew out Saturday morning and had a great flight we landed at around 12pm and got a free shuttle bus to our hotel. We stayed at the Hilton Hotel and it was lovely! The room were amazing and on arrival we were giving our football tickets straight away! The game was the same day we flew in so we quickly got ready and got a taxi to the Santiago Bernabeu to make sure was on time to enjoy the atmosphere.
When we walked in to the stadium we were shown to Area VIP and we couldn't believe it! We were in a VIP box and we had free food and drink all through the game and a Buffett before the game. The score was 4-1 to Real Madrid which made it a million times better! We had one of the best experiences ever and FootballBreak were fantastic. I 100% recommend them and will definitely be booking again.
Package was so easy to put together. Couldn't of been easier. Didn't need to speak to any representative as everything was so well organised. The atmosphere at nou camp was unbelievable ( even though it was cold as it was Jan) we got there early to soak up atmosphere. We upgraded the seats and really pleased we did we were in middle tier behind the goal and messi scored....excellent. Pre book the stadium tour as its so worth it!
Tip: Check how far hotel is away from airport...45euro in taxi.
our trip was originally booked by our kids, flying out from Gatwick and returning to Luton , but a few minutes on the phone and everything got sorted out at football break,we flew from Prestwick international to Girona and arranged a separate airport transfer to Barcelona, the seats at Camp Nou were excellent and we had 5 goals in the match with Barca winning.i would say the hotel was overrated (4* ... 3*'s at a push) but that is down to the hotel its self and not with football break. our location was spot on 10 minutes in the metro and we arrived at the stadium.
make good use of the metro system , its easier than you think, be sensible with your belongings as it has a reputation for pick pockets.
