OPERATIONAL MAP

Stadium accessCamp Nou

GETTING TO THE GROUND

For Estadi Olímpic, take Metro L1 or L3 to Plaça Espanya, then use the outdoor escalators to ascend the hill. For RCDE Stadium, the most direct route from the city center is the FGC (Ferrocarrils) lines L8, S3, or S4 from Plaça Espanya to Cornellà Riera station.

Warning: Public transport tickets must be validated at the barriers; failure to do so results in a €100 fine. Note that T-casual tickets are NOT valid for the Airport Metro stations.

Away fans are usually located in the Gol Nord (North End). Access is via a dedicated security perimeter. Be prepared for a significant walk uphill from the Metro if the escalators are crowded.

PROHIBITED ITEMS

  • Bags larger than A4 size
  • Large power banks (bigger than a smartphone)
  • Professional cameras or detachable lenses
  • Pyrotechnics and flares

CRITICAL

Tickets are nominative and digital. You must bring a physical ID (Passport or National ID) as stewards frequently reject photos of IDs on phones.

Exit routes & evacuation

No exit routes data for this venue.

MISSION LOGISTICS

Hub

Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN)

Transfer

The Aerobús (A1/A2) runs every 5-10 minutes to Plaça Catalunya. Alternatively, take the R2 Nord train to Sants or Passeig de Gràcia.

Tip

If using the Metro (L9), you must purchase a specific 'Airport ticket' (€5.50) as standard single tickets and T-casual cards will not work at the airport barriers.

Who do you think will win?

Pick once per match. We’ll show how other visitors are leaning.

RECOMMENDED ZONE

Eixample is the best hub for a mix of traditional tapas and modern bars. The area around Carrer d'Enric Granados is popular for nightlife. For a more historic, 'narrow-street' vibe, head to El Born.

RECOMMENDED

Eixample / El Born offers good transport links and is generally safe for away supporters.

TACTICAL INTEL
