I’m not a big fan of football, I know Messi and Ronaldo and I cheer along during a match, but I’m not really an expert in this field. But standing in Europe’s biggest stadium, I definitely felt the rush in my veins, hearts thumping and wondering if it’s even real.

With that said, if I’m to mention the club I know best (in my amateur knowledge), it would be Barcelona. The club known to host some of the best players in the World.

Firstly, I was quite doubted on whether or not I should visit this stadium. I thought, I don’t even quite understand the concept of offside. But thankfully, the stars aligned and I made the better decision: I booked the tickets online on their website and went to see Camp Nou, Barcelona.

The first place I entered was the Museum and Trophy display, where you will see the history of the club, along with Messi’s line-up of 5 FIFA Ballon D’or. Seeing all these would have anyone gasping, football fan or not, it’s such an impressive journey that FC Barcelona went through.

Throughout the Camp Nou experience, you get to visit the visiting team’s dressing room, press room, even walk down the stairs where players enter from during matches, along with cheers through loudspeakers. You get a glimpse of the excitement and the hype the players get before a match. And then, of course, it’s the massive, largest stadium in Spain and Europe, with a capacity of almost 100 000 spectators.

After the Camp Nou Experience Tour, there is this large souvenir area, with goodies ranging from keychains to jerseys. Even I launched to a shopping spree, picking up pencils and pens and even candies with FC Barcelona wrappers.

Oh, a sidenote, through out the tour, there are spots where you can take a professionally shot picture (albeit the long queue). You can then, at the end of the tour, buy your pictures as an album, or printed on keychains. It’s quite expensive for a photo album, but since this is not an everyday experience, I bought one to bring home!

Coming from a very-amateur-and-very-beginner football fan, with very minimum knowledge of football… I truly believe everyone should visit Camp Nou. The experience itself gives you a thrill and excitement you wouldn’t find in any ordinary stadium! Here’s where you can find out all about it: Click here.
