Camp Nou Guide: The Stadium Tour and Barça Museum in 2026

Spotify Camp Nou is a stadium in the middle of a rebuild that still lets visitors in. FC Barcelona moved out in 2023, played at the Olympic stadium on Montjuïc while the old stands came down, and came home on 22 November 2025 for a league match against Athletic Club, with a partial crowd of a little over 45,000. The building work carries on around the fans. Visit in 2026 and you're touring a construction site with a club museum attached, which is more interesting than it sounds.

What does the tour include right now?

Less than the old tour did, and the line-up changes often. The club sells several tiers on its official site, fcbarcelona.com. The basic museum ticket covers the museum and a viewpoint over the works. Higher tiers add a panoramic view from inside the stadium, virtual reality and other immersive extras, and on some fixtures a match day tour with a walk on the pitch. Don't expect the pre-works route through the changing rooms and players' tunnel unless the tier you choose lists it. Read the inclusions before you pay, and ignore resellers quoting old tour descriptions.

What did we see?

We did the stadium tour and museum on 11 June 2026, not a match. From the stands we looked out over the pitch and the rows of red seats, with construction cranes still standing above the stands. Then came the museum: a history display covering 1909 to 1919, and long glass cases of trophies.

For anyone who follows football, sitting in those stands while the new upper tier goes up around you is a rare thing to see. For anyone who doesn't, the museum alone is a hard sell, and the half day is better spent on Montjuïc or in a Gaudí house.

How far along are the works?

The stadium reopened with a reduced capacity of a little over 60,000 while the new third tier is built. In September 2026 the club pushed the first third-tier seats back to early 2027, when capacity should rise to around 70,000, with the rest following later. The roof comes last, and the club expects to move out temporarily while it goes on. Expect cranes in your photos well into 2027.

Tour or match?

A match, if the fixtures line up with your dates. League kick-off times are fixed only a couple of weeks ahead, so you often can't plan around a game until shortly before your trip. Buy from the club's official site, not from touts outside. Capacity is still below the final figure, so tickets for big games are scarce. Tour schedules shrink or change on match days, so check the calendar before booking either.

How do I get there?

Camp Nou is in Les Corts, west of the centre and away from every other major sight. Take metro L3 to Palau Reial or Les Corts, or L5 to Collblanc or Badal. Each leaves you a walk of 10 to 15 minutes. Don't plan on driving: car access around the stadium is restricted during the works. Our getting around guide covers which travel card to use.

How does it fit into a day?

Treat it as half a day. We went on to Montjuïc the same afternoon, which works because both sit on the western side of the city. If you've bought a combined attractions pass, check whether it actually covers the tier you want; our tickets and passes guide explains how to compare them.
