How to get to FC Barcelona Stadium
Metro: Maria Cristina (Green Line, L3)
After you exit the metro station turn left and walk northwest up Avenida Diagonal. You will pass by the ‘La Caixa’ building which is hard to miss as it is an enormous black skyscraper. Keep walking until you see another skyscraper -the Princess Sofia Gran Hotel.
Once you have passed the hotel, take your first left and you will see the stadium right in front of you. Check your tickets to see which gate you should access. If you are at the stadium for a reason outside of a football match then head to Access 9- this is the main entrance and you will find a ticket desk.
Buses to Camp Nou
There are several bus lines that stop close to the Stadium. There are 16 buses on the TMB, one AMB line, and four Nitbus lines. The TMB lines 15, 43 and 56 typically ramp up service during both a game and other events depending on the demand that might occur. In addition, to the public transportation there are also open top tour buses that include Barcelona FC on their route.
Barcelona Bus Tours are described as “Hop on and hop off sightseeing tourist buses.” Basically, the buses run on a route throughout the city visiting different tourist attractions. You can get off the bus at anytime , go sight seeing and when you are finished you just wait for the next bus and move on to the next spot. This might not be the best option if you are heading to the stadium to see a match but if you are simply visiting the museum this could be your best bet! Bus tours typically cost €23.00
Taxi
If you don’t to worry about the hustle and bustle of tramway, Metro, or buses and you are close enough to the stadium you might want to simply hail or order a taxi. Taxis in Spain are a bit more aggressive than the ones in the States so be wary!
