If you're a die-hard football fan, there's no greater attraction in Barcelona than a tour of the famous Barcelona Football Club (FC) and museum, one of the biggest draws for tourists in Barcelona. The tour is self-guided so there are no guides to take you around. You are free to walk through the special barriers and rope-ways, with signs to point you in the right direction. There are plenty of security personnel around to assist you. Audio-guides are available at the entrance and it's a great idea to pick up one of these to give you more information as you go along. The magnificent Camp Nou stadium which can seat up to 100,000 screaming fans is itself a great place to start the tour and provides a glimpse of the high-voltage excitement that accompanies a match here. Visitors can avail of the Tour Plus tickets which allow them to access the cordoned-off areas as well and provide a more authentic feel of the club and players. The tour begins with a ten-minute 3D show giving the main attractions of the stadium and since you're probably here with your kids, they would enjoy this very much as well. The show is a quick run-through of what it's like to be out there on the field during a match. Shots of famous matches are also included. Once you're done with the show, it's time for the real thing! Next up is the visitor's changing rooms. These are relatively spartan and there is a huge circular communal bath with a jacuzzi here, though your audio guide informs you that the home team's changing rooms are much more luxurious, with a spa, pharmacy and treatment rooms. However, you get a great idea of what it's like in the shower stalls and dressing rooms just before or after a match. The Barcelona FC puts its faith firmly in the Almighty! The in-house chapel is where they pray for destruction of their enemies and success for themselves. From here, it's into the players' tunnel and the atmosphere here is simply electric even on a non-match day. It's not difficult to imagine emerging from that tunnel into the lime-light as thousands of shrieking fans greet their favorite players. The benches or dugouts are where the managers and coaches sit and this is really close to the pitch. It's easy to visualize the heat and excitement of the game from this vantage point. The Press Room for media comments, the hospitality center and the sponsors' room are other important areas. One of the rooms has a priceless lithograph by the Barcelona artist Miro to commemorate the FC. The Museum is a shrine to the FC and here's where you can see trophies, awards, memorabilia and you can even get a keepsake photo taken of yourself holding the FC trophy aloft! Gifts and souvenirs are available here. So if you're a football fan, head for the FC Tour in Barcelona!
