we had a fantastic trip to see real madrid @ the bernabeu stadium.i did have reservations of going online and using a company i hadn`t heard of and ironically when we arrived at the hotel the tickets were not there(they actually were but the hotel had put them in the wrong safe).despite a small panic on my part the football break staff were excellent and sorted everything out.in fact the level of service from start to finish was excellent and i will definately use them again.
you need ID when shopping using a credit card. definately use the metro..clean/safe/cheap.
Me and my friend went to see Real Madrid vs Juventus. The total package was fine and I recieved all the information that I though was neccesary. Only one thing which was a problem was that I got given a double bed room when I did book a 2 single beds. Luckily the hotel was able to switch rooms. The atmosphere was amazing, the best stadium I have ever been too. Madrid is a very beautiful city with very good food.
Buy a metro pass! It cost me 18 euro's for 3 days. Go to the airport T1, T2, T3 metro station and purchase it. Also visit an information centre to pick up a street map. Visit the Plaza Mayor, the paella their was fantastic! I recommend staying for 2 nights just to experience most of Madrid.
V good overall. Perhaps an idiots guide for what else to arrange (airport parking, health insurance). Didn't notice the metro station to get off at until after I was in the hotel (bold or highlight maybe). Please double warn that Ryanair charge 20 euros for each kg over 20kg your suitcase is!! What a rip off No huge criticisms as your staff wee all helpful on the phone and email Thank you
Hotel staff friendly and could speak fairly good English. Hotel itself was quite noisy and room smelt of cigarette smoke. Great seats at the football and would would recommend clients to pay for the upgrade to better seats. Madrid was great and interesting for a few day visit,
Upgrade to better seats and do the stadium tour.
Fear not ! This internet based company delivers. It was with some trepidation I booked tickets for El Classico as you pay for the package/flights/tickets upfront and the tickets are delivered to your hotel the night before the match. The booking process is straightforward and clever givng you the opportunity to match a hotel according to your budget/requirements, Rebecca was extremely helpful on telephone and by email contact, I received email updates, the hotel voucher arrived a week before as promised and the tickets were delivered to the hotel the night before the match as promised. Of course you accept you pay more than face value, but FootballBreak.co.uk deliver. I would not hesitate to use the company again. We had a great time.
Make sure you have arranged your transport back to the city centre after the match. Do not rely on flagging down a taxi!
