The ultimate football tour of Europe: London, Munich, Milan, Barcelona, and Madrid. 10 days, 5 teams, budget, and full planning.
This isn't an ordinary vacation. It's the ultimate football journey: 10 days, 5 European cities, 5 clubs with the biggest football histories in the world. London, Munich, Milan, Barcelona and Madrid — each with its own stadium, fans and culture. If you're a real football fan, this is the trip you'll be telling your grandchildren about.
The short answer: TLV→London → Munich → Milan → Barcelona → Madrid→TLV. 10 days, ~€2,500–5,000 per person, all inclusive. Requires careful planning — but worth every penny.
Before you book anything — check that there's a match in every city on your preferred dates. The full fixture lists are published at the end of July for all leagues. UseFBref.com, the clubs' websites, or BBC Sport Schedule. A plane ticket to London without a match = a regular tourist visit. Plan the matches first, and only then book flights and hotels.
London is the perfect gateway to the tour. 14 Premier League clubs have played or currently play in London throughout history, and every Saturday there are at least 2–3 matches in the city. Arsenal Arsenal at the Emirates, Tottenham Hotspur Spurs at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, West Ham United West Ham at the Olympic Stadium — all within the M25.
Emirates Stadium (Arsenal): 60,704 seats, a direct flight from TLV, a great atmosphere. Arsenal Tickets — guaranteed.
New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: 62,850 seats, built in 2019, one of the most impressive stadiums in the world with a retractable roof and a sports bar on the roof. Tottenham tickets — guaranteed.
What else to do in London: Tower Bridge, Hyde Park, Shoreditch for younger crowds, Notting Hill, Covent Garden. Lodging: Travelodge / Premier Inn (3★, £70–120). At 4★: CitizenM near Tower Bridge (modern and cool).
Intra-European flight: ~2 hours. Airlines: EasyJet, Ryanair, Lufthansa. Price: €30–80 each way if booked early. Airport: Heathrow (LHR) → Munich (MUC).
Munich is a city that has learned to connect two worlds: traditional Bavaria with beer and lederhosen, and the home of Bayern Munich — one of the 5 biggest clubs in football history. The Allianz Arena is one of the most impressive stadiums in the world.
Allianz Arena: 75,000 seats, an outer shell that changes color (white when neutral, red for Bayern, blue for 1860 — although 1860 hasn't played there in years). The stadium tour costs €15, including the FC Bayern Museum. Bayern tickets — guaranteed through us.
Along the way: Marienplatz (the central square), the English Garden (a park bigger than Central Park), BMW Welt (free entry, stunning), Nymphenburg Palace.
Flight: ~1.5 hours. Easyjet, Ryanair, Lufthansa. Price: €25–60 each way. MUC → MXP (Malpensa) or LIN (Linate — closer to the center).
Milan — pasta, fashion and football. Italy's two biggest clubs live here — AC Milan and Inter Milan — and both share San Siro. If they're both playing during your visit, book for both.
San Siro: 75,817 seats, one of the most historic stadiums in the world. The atmosphere there is unique — the big Curva, green smoke, chants. AC Milan tickets | Inter Milan Tickets — guaranteed.
Also to do: The Duomo, the Navigli neighborhood, dinner in Brera.
Flight: ~2 hours. Vueling, EasyJet, Ryanair. Price: €30–70 each way. MXP → BCN. Alternative: overnight bus (9 hours, €30–40) — saves a hotel night.
Barcelona, three-way between the Mediterranean, Gaudí architecture, and Camp Nou. The biggest stadium in Europe — 99,354 seats in its current form, reaching 105,000 in the renovated version (2025+). The atmosphere when Barcelona is at its peak — 99,000 people chanting "Visca el Barça" — is unforgettable.
FC Barcelona Tickets — guaranteed. Camp Nou tour: €28 per person.
What to do: Park Güell (€10 for the central area, worth booking ahead), the Sagrada Família (€26, amazing), the Gothic Quarter, La Boqueria market, the Barcelona beach.

The grand finale: Madrid. Real Madrid — 15 Champions League titles, the most successful club in history. The renovated Bernabéu stadium (85,000 seats, retractable roof, running track on the roof) is the most impressive ever built in football.
Real Madrid Tickets — guaranteed. Bernabéu tour: €25 per person.

The biggest risk on this tour: arriving in a city without a match. Here's how to coordinate:
The recommended strategy: Choose a 10-day window, check the fixture list, and then match cities to match dates. Then book: (1) plane tickets, (2) hotels, (3) match tickets. This order matters — don't reverse it.
10 days is the minimum. For it to work:
Want 14 days? Add buffer days — a day in Turin (Juventus), a day in Dresden, a full evening in Vicenza. The tour becomes richer.
Step 1: choose a time window (10–14 days). Step 2: go to FBref.com, Soccerway.com, and the clubs' official websites. Step 3: check which clubs are playing on your preferred dates. Step 4: build the itinerary around the matches (not the other way around). Step 5: book flights → hotels → match tickets. The full schedules are published at the end of July — that's when to plan.
Ryanair and EasyJet are the cheapest — €20–60 if booked 6–8 weeks in advance. Use Google Flights and Skyscanner to see all the prices at once. Tip: compare flight price against train — Barcelona-Madrid, the AVE train (2.5h, €30–60) beats any flight. Munich-Milan: a 1.5h flight beats a 4h train.
Yes, but it's intense. 2 days in London, 2 in Munich, 2 in Milan, 2 in Barcelona, 2 in Madrid. The secret is not to overload on attractions — one match per city, one or two attractions, and good food. If you want to really feel each city — take 14 days (3 per city). 10 days is for those coming mainly for the football.
September–November and February–April are the best times: all 5 leagues are playing, the weather is reasonable (not too hot, not too cold), and there are fewer tourists. In addition — there's Champions League group-stage action (September-November) and the knockout stage (February-May). Avoid June-August: hot, no league, only preseason.
Each league is different: (1) Premier League — book through the clubs' websites as early as possible (membership helps); (2) Bundesliga — relatively available, Ticketmaster.de; (3) Serie A — the clubs' websites or VivaTicket.it; (4) La Liga — the clubs' websites; (5) Champions League — hard, secondary market only for the big matches. TikTik handles all 5 leagues — Contact us with the dates, and we'll sort everything out.
