We have been to Barcelona several times and visited the Gaudi sites and Bari Gothic. Have enjoyed tours of baseball stadium in US and seriously considering the tour of Camp Nou, the home stadium of Barca ? Soccer team. Is it worth the time. There won’t be a game the day we’re visiting. Do we need to take a taxi or bus out to the stadium from the Placa Catalunya area? We have 2 full days in port off a cruise ship. The other day will be in Bari Gothic seeing Picasso museum and the performing arts hall. Visit is at the end of November this year. Always enjoy our time in Barcelona. Note: was visiting the year Barca won the Champions trophy from a British team. What fun to watch the game and participate in the big parade the next day.

I'm a huge soccer nut so Nou Camp was a highlight of my visit to the city. It's more than just a tour of the stadium, it's also an expansive museum about the history of the team (including it's basketball team), it's on the field accomplishments, it relationship to the Catalan movement, and it's amazing charity projects. It's gift shop also happens to be the world's largest Nike store:) It's one of the most popular(and priciest) attractions in Barcelona, and IMO a must-see attraction. You can easly walk to the stadium from the Les Corts metro station.
