Traveler reviews
Kane Knight
★★★★★2 months agoTo be honest I’m not a big football fan but I know some about it, lots of interactions and stuff to do, came here with a friend and as a guide he explained me stuff and it was very fun and nice to know how things turned out! Lots of beautiful trophies woman and mans AND under 17 also. Would be nice some stuff to be free as a memorable but no, there’s a gift shop and price range is Zurich range so for me personally as a German it was very expensive! But nice stuff, if you are a football fan you should definitely visit this place.
