Basic information about Camp Nou Stadium
Camp Nou (in Catalan: "the new field") is the largest stadium in Europe. It first opened on 24 September 1957, and is currently undergoing the most massive renovation in the history of football stadiums — the Espai Barça project.
Key data — 2026
- Official name: Spotify Camp Nou (Spotify sponsorship since 2022)
- Current capacity (Phase 1C): 62,652 seats
- Final capacity (upon completion of the renovation): 105,000 seats — the largest in the world
- Reopened: November 2025, after a year and a half of renovations
- Address: C/ d'Arístides Maillol, 12, 08028 Barcelona, Spain
- Playing surface: Hybrid natural grass
- Ownership: FC Barcelona (a club owned by its members — socis)
The renovation is being carried out in stages while the stadium remains open for matches. The final capacity of 105,000 seats will make Camp Nou the largest football stadium in the world, with 3 tiers of stands and an impressive exterior shell.
Seating map and seating areas
Camp Nou is divided into several main areas, and it's important to know them in order to choose the right ticket:
Gol Baix (lower goal stand) — €120-€200
The stand behind the goal, closest to the pitch. The atmosphere here is electric, the closeness to the players is immense, but the viewing angle isn't ideal. Recommended for those who want experience and atmosphere more than a tactical view.
Lateral Baix (lower side) — €180-€350
The side stands, along the halfway line. The best view of the match. You see the whole pitch, close enough to recognize players. This is the most popular area and fills up the fastest.
Gol Alt (upper goal stand) — €60-€120
The upper stand behind the goal. The cheapest, but also the farthest. In the new Camp Nou with the roof canopy and improved acoustics, the experience is good even from here.
Lateral Alt (upper side) — €100-€200
The upper side stand. An excellent panoramic view of the whole pitch. Excellent value for money.
VIP and Hospitality — €500-€2,000+
Hospitality packages with food, drink, lounge access, and cushioned seats. A full premium experience.
Tip: For regular league matches, Gol Baix offers the best price-to-experience ratio. For El Clásico or the Champions League, every seat is an experience.
How to get to Camp Nou Stadium
Camp Nou is located in the Les Corts district in western Barcelona, with excellent access by public transport.
Metro — the best way
- Line L3 (green): Station Palau Reial — a 5-minute walk from the stadium. Most recommended.
- Line L5 (blue): Station Collblanc — a 10-minute walk. A good alternative if L3 is crowded.
- Line L3: Station Maria Cristina — a 12-minute walk, via Diagonal Avenue.
Tram
Line T1, T2, T3 to the station Avinguda de Xile — a 5-minute walk.
Bus
Lines 7, 33, 54, 56, 57, 59, 63, 67, 68, 75, 78, 113, 157 stop near the stadium.
Car (not recommended)
Parking is extremely limited on matchdays. If you drive anyway — the BSM Pius XII garage or the L'Illa Diagonal garage. Expect €15-€25 for parking plus an hour or more of traffic congestion.
Experienced tip: Arrive an hour and a half before the match. After the match, don't rush to leave — enjoy the atmosphere, grab a drink in the area, and let the crowd disperse. The metro after a big match is a nightmare.
Recommended hotels near Camp Nou
The area around Camp Nou offers a range of accommodation options. Here are our recommendations:
Upper Diagonal area — €76-€85 per night
Barcelona's elegant avenue, a 10-15 minute walk from the stadium. Hotels like Hotel HCC Regente and Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza offer excellent value with easy access to both the stadium and the city center. The area is quiet, full of good restaurants, and well connected by metro.
NH Barcelona Stadium — €75-€120 per night
The closest to the stadium. A 4-star hotel right next to Camp Nou, a 3-minute walk. Perfect for matchday — you arrive on foot, don't need transport, and can return to the hotel right after. Clean, spacious rooms, good breakfast. A warm recommendation for those coming mainly for the match.
More options
- Hotel Sofia Barcelona (5★): €150-€250, Diagonal Avenue, luxury with a city view
- Alimara Barcelona (4★): €80-€110, quiet, with a pool, 15 minutes away
- Airbnb in the Les Corts area: €60-€100, whole apartments, perfect for families
Tip: Book as early as possible. On El Clásico or Champions League days, prices jump 3-4 times and hotels fill up weeks in advance.
Kosher food and restaurants in Barcelona
In recent years, Barcelona has become a very convenient destination for travelers who keep kosher. Here's what you need to know:
Xerta Restaurant — a Michelin-level kosher restaurant
This is our main recommendation. Xerta It is a very high-level chef's restaurant, Michelin-recommended, serving sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine with kosher options. Kosher dinners are served on Wednesdays — advance booking is required. The restaurant is located at the Ohla Eixample hotel, about a 20-minute drive from the stadium.
Chabad House Barcelona — La Rambla
The Chabad House on La Rambla avenue is the first address for every Jewish traveler in Barcelona. They offer lavish Shabbat meals (advance registration required), information on kosher food, prayer minyanim, and general help. The staff is Israeli and speaks Hebrew.
Grocery stores and other options
- Kosher supermarket: Kosher Corner (Carrer de Casanova) — basic products, kosher meat, wine
- Fruit and market: La Boqueria market on La Rambla — fruit, vegetables, nuts (all inherently kosher)
- Vegan restaurants: Barcelona is full of excellent vegan restaurants that make it easier to keep kosher
Important tip: If you keep strict kosher, it's recommended to bring packaged food from Israel for the first couple of days, and to coordinate meals with the Chabad House in advance.

Barcelona is one of the most accessible destinations from Israel, with a large number of direct flights:

Practical information for the Israeli traveler
Visa and ETIAS
No visa needed for Israeli citizens to Spain and Europe (up to 90 days). Note: Starting in 2026, a system came into effect ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) — an electronic entry authorization that you fill out online and pay €7 for before the trip. The authorization is valid for 3 years. You must register in advance at etias.com before the flight.
Language
In Barcelona, people speak Catalan (the local language) and Spanish (Castilian). Everyone speaks Spanish, and many speak basic English in tourist areas. At the stadium and in tourist restaurants — English works great.
Currency and payments
Euro (€). Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere. Apple Pay and Google Pay are common. It's recommended to carry €50–€100 in cash for markets and small stands.
Weather
- Autumn (Sep–Nov): 15-22°C — perfect for matches, pleasant
- Winter (Dec–Feb): 8-15°C — cool, bring a jacket
- Spring (March-May): 14-22°C — a great time to visit
- Summer (Jun–Aug): 24-32°C — hot, but no league matches (off-season)
Safety
Barcelona is a relatively safe city, but pickpocketing is very common — mainly on La Rambla, on the metro, and in tourist areas. Keep your wallet in a front pocket, don't leave your phone on the table at a restaurant, and be wary of random "helpers" who approach you.
The history of Spotify Camp Nou
Spotify Camp Nou isn't just a stadium — it's a symbol of Catalonia, of local pride, and of some of the greatest moments in the history of football.
1957 — The Opening
The stadium opened on 24 September 1957 with a match against a Warsaw select team. The original capacity was 93,053 seats. The reason for building it — the previous stadium, Les Corts, was already too small for Barcelona's growing crowds.
Attendance record — 120,000
In 1982, in a European Cup quarterfinal match against Juventus, the stadium held 120,000 spectators — a record that will never be broken (due to modern safety standards). If you closed your eyes, you could hear the roar from kilometers away.
Johan Cruyff and the Dream Team (1988-1996)
Cruyff arrived as coach in 1988 and created Barcelona's "Dream Team". The 1992 Champions League final at Wembley, 4 consecutive league titles, and a permanent change to the club's DNA forever. His philosophy — "tiki-taka" — was born at Spotify Camp Nou.
The Messi Era (2004-2021)
Leo Messi Played 778 matches in Barcelona's shirt, most of them at Spotify Camp Nou. 672 goals, 4 Champions League titles, 10 league titles. The most famous moment? Perhaps the "remontada" against Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 — 6:1 after a 0:4 away defeat. 96,290 spectators in the stadium nearly rose out of their seats.
Messi's Farewell August 2021 was one of the most emotional moments in the history of football. The press conference where he cried, the fans who stood outside the stadium, the end of an era.
2023-2025 — The Espai Barça Renovation
Barcelona temporarily played at the stadium Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (Montjuïc) during the renovation. In November 2025 the stadium reopened with 62,652 seats in the first phase, on its way to 105,000.
"Més que un club" — More than a club
Barcelona's slogan isn't just marketing. During the Franco dictatorship, Spotify Camp Nou was one of the few places where Catalans could speak Catalan and express their cultural identity. This stadium is a symbol of freedom and pride.
The Matchday Experience — What to Expect
