Camp Nou
The stadium with the highest capacity in Europe
Temporary closure
Camp Nou is the most visited stadium in Europe. It was inaugurated in 1957 under the name of Estadi del FC Barcelona, but it soon became known as Camp Nou (New Pitch) because it had replaced the old Camp de les Corts ground. This name was officially adopted in the 2000-01 season in accordance with the results of a popular postal vote.

What to visit at Camp Nou?
The measurements of Camp Nou are 105 x 68 metres. Together with a height of 48 metres and a surface area of 55,000 square metres (250 metres long and 220 metres wide), this makes it one of the largest stadiums in Europe and the third largest in the world, after the field in Sao Paulo in Brazil and the one in Mexico City. The capacity of Camp Nou is 99,354 people.
The Camp Nou Experience starts with a tour of the stadium following the route taken by Barça’s players from the changing rooms to the pitch. You can also access the chairman’s seats, the players’ bench and the press room, while the audio service narrates the history of the stadium and of FC Barcelona’s great victories.
The tour ends with access to the FC Barcelona Museum where photographs and records explain the trajectory of the club over more than 100 years. The museum also holds the trophies the club has won and personal objects of Barça’s legendary players.

Did you know that FC Barcelona has a special free entrance ticket programme for kids?
The project is called Kids at Camp Nou. It is aimed at young club members up to 14 years of age or the children and grandchildren of club members. Each child must be accompanied by an adult, as these tickets are tied to the ticket or pass of the adult that accompanies the child. It's valid for one game.
These are free entrance tickets for children to see Barça matches, although there are exceptions, such as, for example: matches against Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, Champions League qualifiers, quarterfinals and semifinals, and Supercopa de España home and away matches. The Club also reserves the right to declare an exceptional match when there is a risk of excess capacity.
All the information about organising your visit to the stadium, hours, prices and tickets to see Barcelona, tickets to take the Barça Stadium Tour and more is available on the Camp Nou official website.
