With the European football season now well underway, there’s a whole host of footballing excitement set to play out over the coming months. Whether it’s the Champions League or the Europa League, such continental competitions always throw up mouthwatering matches and make for some truly brilliant games, with many going down as all-time classics.
Once these amazing match-ups were only to be enjoyed from the comfortable but not quite as thrilling position of our living rooms, where we’d gaze longingly at elite games of footy on our goggleboxes. But today, thanks to cheaper airfares, cheap (well, fairly cheap) match tickets and ease of travel around Europe, it’s perfectly possible to hit the road and support your team in European competitions in person.
The folk at Expedia have realised that European away days and weekend trips are a growing trend so, to help fans of the beautiful game get the most out of their excursions, they’ve put together a comprehensive resource to away grounds all over Europe.
Take a look at the travel firm’s in-depth guide to the best European Away Days. As well as top tips and tricks for away fans at the stadium, including how to get there in time for kick-off, the resource features insider knowledge from local bloggers about where to eat, drink and explore nearby.
Whether you’re a fan of Leicester, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United or Southampton, use the guide to find out everything you need to make your trip a success, including:
● The lowdown on your opponents
● How to get to an away ground
● The history of Europe’s greatest football stadiums

You can also use the guide as a great source of European football news and updates – it tracks all results and there’s a news feed with all the latest on what’s going on in the world of continental football.
Enjoy!
