General Information

The Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys is not one of the best known attractions in Barcelona, but it is recommended for families that visit the city with children. If your children are sports fans this will be a great attraction to visit that they will definitely enjoy.

Inside the stadium there is a small sports museum dedicated to the Olympic Games. Also during the summer sports camps are held for children where they can learn about different sports and can be active. Most of the families that participate in these sports camps are local Catalans but you will find tourist also joining the activities (for additional information – Sport in Barcelona and Kids and Families in Barcelona).

Children between the age of 5 and 11 benefit of discounted entry fees and young visitor, under the age of 5, have free access inside the stadium. It can be a good option for families looking for cheaper activities and attractions in Barcelona.

Tips and Recommendations

• It is recommended to combine your visit with other nearby attractions, such as the Montjuic Park, the Montjuic Castle and Plaça d’Espanya. All in all, the area is highly recommended for families and kids to visit because of the many outdoor attractions and activities (for additional information – Attractions and Tours near Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and Attractions and Tours in Barcelona).
• If you come with your children to visit the museum, and not for a sport event, it is recommended to explain your kids about who Lluis Companys was, since it will be easier for them to understand. Another important topic are the Olympic Games and their history within Barcelona. These two motives are constantly present all around the stadium. When you come to the stadium for an event we also recommend you to explain them what they will see at the game.
