🇪🇸 Spain city guide
Barcelona
Mediterranean beaches, distinctive architecture and one of world football’s most recognisable homes.
Barcelona combines a dense metro network with walkable neighbourhoods and a long waterfront. The redeveloped Spotify Camp Nou is the city’s headline proposed venue for 2030; fans should wait for confirmed match and access plans before booking around a specific fixture.

Metro lines 3 and 5 serve several approaches. Redevelopment may change entrances and walking routes, so follow current club and event guidance.
