What is my baggage allowance?

The price in Your Plan includes one small carry-on bag (40cm x 20cm x 25cm) unless otherwise stated.

We can add additional luggage as follows:

£70p/p for a large carry-on bag (10kg) or £80p/p for a checked bag (20kg). These are based on airlines' charges and we do not take any commission from these additions.

Alternatively, we can provide the Lead Passenger with the flight booking details in advance of the trip so they can add customised baggage as they see fit nearer the time.

You can choose to enquire about additional baggage now, or we can arrange this at any point before you leave.

Will I have enough time to get to the game?

Yes, you'll have ample time either side of the game. At a minimum you will arrive or depart 4 hours either side of Kick-Off or Full-Time, but in most cases it'll be much longer than this.

We'll always include directions to the ground in your Travel Kit, and keep your logistics and comfort in mind when placing bookings.

Your City

You wanted: quality local food and drink (& vetoed Italy)

The culture: it's a gastronomical capital of the world and is home to over 15 Michelin star restaurants. In fact, there are more restaurants per head in this city than anywhere else in the entire country! If you're not into mixing footy with fine-dining, there are plenty of wine bars and breweries to spend your spare time in as well!

Expected weather: highs / lows of 8° / 1° in your month of travel

Your Stay

Type: 3* Hotel

Room: 2 x Standard Double Room (2 pax per room)

TripAdvisor: 4 stars (333 Reviews)

Distance from the ground: the ground's a little outside the centre in this city. It's either 40m (approx) on the local metro system or a 30m taxi. We'll provide detailed instructions in your Travel Kit!

Other: you're nearby the main square and Old Town here. This is a cosmopolitan neighbourhood, where you'll cross paths with students and families and where you'll find Asian restaurants, biergartens (outdoor food courts) and public gardens. The central location of the hotel makes it easy to get around the city. We'll also provide recommendations in your Travel Kit!

Can I arrange transfers to/from the airport?

Yes, in most cases we can add private transfers to/from the airport at an additional cost.

Should you wish to make your own way to your accommodation, we offer this guidance in your digital Travel Kit as well.

You can choose to enquire about arranging private transfers now, or we can add them at any point before you leave.

How do I get to/from the ground?

You should be able to see the distance to the ground in Your Stay within this plan.

We'll also include this information in your Travel Kit, alongside any necessary safety information that we feel you should be aware of for the given fixture.

Your Fixture

You wanted: an atmosphere in the ground and a unique stadium

The atmosphere: this should be interesting one - this traditional champions league club is in a relegation scrap this season and the visitors have a chance of claiming the title!

The stadium: despite being a little out of the city, it was constructed within the last 10 years and is state of the art. You can choose to take a stadium tour (they offer English tours!) and learn everything that there is to know

Opponent head-to-head: 23 home wins, 12 draws, 13 away wins

Stadium capacity: 60,000
