Barcelona for football fans is almost like what Mecca means to Muslims. And even if football isn’t your favourite hobby, you won’t regret visiting the Camp Nou and the contiguous FC Barcelona Museum, where you can find a well illustrated history of the club, prizes won by the club, including the cup of the in 2006 won Champions League, videos of the most interesting goals and a lot of photos, t-shirts of famous players etc. You can also buy original FC Barcelona souvenirs.
Next obligatory stop for sport fans is of course Estadí Olimpic, wonderful, sweeping Olympic Stadium of the Olympic Games in 1992 with more than 65.000 seats. It’s an object of interest not only for sport fans, but also for admirers of architecture. Institut Nacional d`Educació Física de Catatalunya by Ricardo Bofill, Complex Esportiu Bernat Picornell and Palau Sant Jordi make a huge impression.
But Barcelona is not only a city that loves football and Olympic memories of 1992. Nowadays besides football, the big variety of sports events will make you dizzy. Formula 1, cycling races, rally driving, sailing regatta are just a few sport events that take place in Barcelona.
