“Playing in Europe is just a good vibe”
Full steam ahead for European football: Bukayo Saka joins Arsenal legends and superfans to explain how to get the best out of being a travelling supporter
Plan your trip to Europe’s football capitals
Munich
the vibe
As Saka says, the match-day atmosphere in Munich is always buzzing—but there’s plenty more to explore away from the Allianz Arena, from the medieval architecture of Marienplatz to city’s famed beerhalls and the BMW museum. Here’s where to stay in the heart of the action.
Paris
The vibe
While Paris’ football scene is largely dominated by the mighty Paris Saint-Germain FC, there are countless reasons to visit. From the narrow streets and cool shops of Le Marais to the bars and nightlife of the 11th arrondissement and the street food of Rue Montorgueil, the French capital always delivers. Here’s where to stay.
Milan
the vibe
The rivalry between Milan and Internazionale is world-renowned, and has helped to create one of Europe’s great footballing cities. The two meet up for the Derby della Madonnina, but year round you can expect to find a buzzing, stylish, always-on city with football running through its veins. Here’s where to stay.
Madrid
the vibe
Dominated by Real and Atlético Madrid, both clubs have museums, stadium tours and matchday atmospheres to fully justify the visit to the Spanish capital. But beyond that, it is one of Europe’s culturally richest cities, for world-class museums (the Prado and Reina Sofia), a stroll down the Gran Vía, or just endless grazing of the finest tapas. Here’s where to stay.
