But, where&#8217;s best to travel this season?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here, you&#8217;ll find our take on the world of football tourism, including all-important information on everything from cheap flights to matchday tickets and attractions. Let&#8217;s see which city finishes top of the table.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Top five cheapest cities<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;re after an affordable away day, Barcelona and Copenhagen offer some of the best bang for your buck. Average flight prices typically sit between \u00a3100 &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a3115, and you could pay as little as \u00a313 for a game in F.C. Copenhagen&#8217;s Parken Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, takes the low-cost top spot. Sampling local cuisine costs \u00a328 per head on average, while matchday tickets at Sporting CP&#8217;s Jos\u00e9 Alvalade Stadium start from \u00a317. Not bad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Elsewhere, Eindhoven and Munich also offer reasonable away days. Football tickets start from \u00a320 at the Philips Stadion and just \u00a313 at Bayern\u2019s unforgettable Allianz Arena.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101632\/Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1274554\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Squawka's Cheapest Football Tourist Destination\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-110x147.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-52x70.jpg 52w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-49x65.jpg 49w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-80x107.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-180x240.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-240x320.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-749x999.jpg 749w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-85x113.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-15x20.jpg 15w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-330x440.jpg 330w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101919\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Cheapest-Cities-scaled.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Where are you likely to see the most goals?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leaky defences and potent attacks make games exciting. But where are you most likely to see a goal fest? Well, our research shows it&#8217;s in the Bundesliga and Eredivisie. At Dortmund&#8217;s formidable Signal Iduna Park, we saw an average of 4.7 goals per game last season and a 76.5% chance of a home win. That&#8217;s plenty to get the Yellow Wall bouncing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leipzig and Bayern Munich are also likely to entertain, with a return of 3.8 and 3.7 goals, respectively. Elsewhere, an average of 4.2 goals is expected at PSV and 4.1 at Ajax, suggesting you may be in for high-scoring games in Eindhoven and Amsterdam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interestingly, although the UK is home to a raft of top teams, it&#8217;s only the blue and red of Manchester that feature in the high-scoring charts with an expected return of 3.3 goals per game. The Old Trafford faithful witnessed 54 goals during the previous campaign, while fans at the Etihad Stadium were treated to a whopping 73 goals (roughly 3.8 per game).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101632\/Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1274564\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Squawka's Best Tourist Destinations For High Scoring Games\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-110x147.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-52x70.jpg 52w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-49x65.jpg 49w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-80x107.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-180x240.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-240x320.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-749x999.jpg 749w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-85x113.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-15x20.jpg 15w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-330x440.jpg 330w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102649\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Goal-Rush-scaled.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Our top ten best tourist cities\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An away day is a chance to get stuck into a city&#8217;s history, cuisine, and culture. But which city offers the best package? We explored TripAdvisor attractions and hotel hotspots to find our champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Istanbul takes the crown as our best tourist city. Home to over 15 million residents, the bustling Turkish capital has many TripAdvisor gems (such as the Unesco World Heritage site Hagia Sophia Mosque), thousands of affordable hotels, and the least rainfall of any European city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Of course, you may be a little pressed for time as a tourist in this city, with Istanbul home to three huge clubs: Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas. Incidentally, their stadiums witnessed an average of 2.8, 2.6 and 2.9 goals per game respectively during the 2021\/22 Super Lig season but whichever you pick, you can expect to find some of the most intense atmosphere in world football.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The spiciest atmosphere I&#8217;ve ever played in was Fenerbah\u00e7e [and] Galatasaray,&#8221; legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon said in 2013, adding in a later interview: &#8220;In Istanbul, there was such commotion for the first 15-20 minutes that I had trouble concentrating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And according to former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson: &#8220;It&#8217;s unique to Turkey, the incredible fanaticism. At Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, the fans were in the stadium at 12 o&#8217;clock. It&#8217;s amazing, but it shows the devotion they have for their football clubs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Barcelona clinches second place. The Catalonian capital is a sight to behold, featuring 4,000+ TripAdvisor attractions, such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Park G\u00fcell<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and the unforgettable Sagrada Familia. Likewise, Madrid \u2014 which takes third place \u2014 has a similarly dry climate and has many beautiful buildings, with a series of medieval mansions, royal palaces, and contemporary architecture lining the streets. There&#8217;s also a wide choice of accommodation near the centre, putting you in the heart of the action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Again, you&#8217;re spoiled for choice in these two cities, with Madrid housing La Liga giants Real and Atletico, while the Camp Nou is a must-see in Barcelona &#8212; not forgetting their city rivals, Espanyol, too.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But it&#8217;s London that clinches the title for top TripAdvisor attractions. Unsurprisingly, it&#8217;s also the rainiest city on our list, recording 1,220mm of yearly rainfall. We don&#8217;t need to tell you about the rich football culture here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22101632\/Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1274560\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Squawka's Top Football Tourist Destinations\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-110x147.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-52x70.jpg 52w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-49x65.jpg 49w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-80x107.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-180x240.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-240x320.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-749x999.jpg 749w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-85x113.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-15x20.jpg 15w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-330x440.jpg 330w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/22102357\/1274502_1274502_101994_Catena_Squawka_Football-Tourism_Top-Tourist_Cities-scaled.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Post-match thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If affordability is the name of the game, taking a trip to Copenhagen is an excellent shout.
