Camp Nou guide: Barça back home
After two seasons at Montjuïc, Barça returned to the Camp Nou in November 2025, in a stadium still under construction that reopens stand by stand. Here's what you need to know to enjoy a match during this unusual period.

A stadium under construction: what it means
The Spotify Camp Nou is reopening in phases. The club returned on 22 November 2025 with around 45,000 fans; opening the Gol Nord stand in spring 2026 took capacity to about 62,000. The final target is around 105,000 seats, with a roof, once all work is done.
- Some entrances, gates and sections change from month to month: read your ticket carefully.
- During the works, the full stadium tour is replaced by a shorter route around the museum.
- The building site is still visible: a unique chance to see the stadium transform.
Check before you buy: capacity and open sections keep changing. Always check fcbarcelona.com.
Getting to Barcelona
| Arriving at | Into the city | Approx. time |
|---|---|---|
| El Prat airport | Aerobús to Plaça de Catalunya, or metro L9 Sud | ≈ 35 min |
| By train | Barcelona Sants (high speed from Madrid, Valencia and France) | ≈ 2 h 30 from Madrid |
From the centre to the ground
The Camp Nou is in Les Corts, west of the centre.
- Metro L3 (green): Palau Reial or Les Corts, 10 minutes on foot.
- Metro L5 (blue): Collblanc or Badal, also 10 minutes. From Sants station the L5 gets there in one or two stops.
- On foot from Sants: about 25 minutes.
After the match the nearest stations are packed: walk a little further, to Maria Cristina (L3) for example.
Buying an official ticket
- Official ticket office on fcbarcelona.com: the main source of tickets for visitors.
- Seient Lliure: the scheme through which members (socis) release their seat for the club to resell. During the rebuild, the split between members and public sale shifts with each phase.
- Big games (Clásico, Champions League): high prices and strong demand; buy as soon as sales open.
Avoid unofficial resellers: inflated prices and sometimes invalid tickets. The club site and its official partners are enough in most cases.
Where to sit
- Tribuna and Lateral: the sides, best view and higher prices.
- Gol Nord and Gol Sud: behind the goals, cheaper. The singing section moved during the works: check where it is at the moment.
- Upper tiers: the most impressive overall view, and the lowest prices.
Typical budget
- Getting to Barcelona;
- Your match ticket, which can vary fivefold depending on the opponent;
- One or two nights (Barcelona is pricey in summer and during big trade fairs);
- Metro, food, and maybe the beach the next day.
Our real costs will be published here after our test trip to Barcelona.
Bonus: Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium
Barcelona's other club, founded in 1900, plays at the RCDE Stadium (about 40,000 seats) in Cornellà de Llobregat, some ten kilometres from the centre. Tickets are easy to buy on rcdespanyol.com, at much gentler prices than the Camp Nou.
Getting there: FGC train to Cornellà Riera (5 minutes on foot), or metro L5 to Cornellà Centre (12 to 15 minutes on foot). The Barcelona derby against Barça is the hottest game of the season.
