Plan a Trip Around a Major Sports Event

Browse guides to major sports events and plan the trip around the competition you want to attend.

Sports event travel means planning for both the competition and the destination. Start by choosing an event, then use its guide to identify the venue and the trip details you need to check before booking. This category includes major competitions and race weekends such as the UEFA Champions League final, the Super Bowl, Wimbledon, the Boston Marathon and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Use the event categories to narrow your options by sport and destination. Compare events by format, too: a final or race may call for a different trip plan than a multi-day event such as NBA All-Star Weekend or the Calgary Stampede. Once you have chosen an event, check its guide for the information available on tickets, accommodation and local transport. Use the venue location to compare places to stay and plan how you will get to the event. Keep your dates and destination in mind as you browse, so you can focus on the guides that fit the trip you want to take.
