Some Suggested European Soccer Itineraries
We think that the Champions League Group Stage fixtures are just about the most exciting time of the season to go groundhopping. And here are some suggested itineraries — all made up of clubs where we can sell you tickets — that show what we mean.
What we have done here is simply get out the fixtures for the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League — all of which occur from Tuesday to Thursday evenings in the same weeks from September to December.
Next we compared those to the clubs where we sell Champions League tickets.
Then we got out a map to see where you can either see three games in the same country the same week, or at least two really good ones, or occasionally get a quick plane or train ride to where you need to go.
And remember, all of these midweeks are preceded and followed by league weekends, so you can spend a week in a country and see five games — or 10 days and see seven or eight!
All this while the tourist crowds are down, the prices are down, and the weather is still great! What’s not to love?
