KNOW THE RULES

Every sport has its own set of rules. In sailing, they're built to clarify who has "right-of-way" in different scenarios, and they are used strategically in a Match Race to help gain the upper hand. Break a rule, and your opponent will protest. If the umpires agree, you'll be given a penalty, and that could make or break the outcome of the race.

FROM LAND

The main activation is in the America's Cup Race Village along Moll de la Fusta, which will contain a main stage and four giant screens but doesn’t have a direct view of the water. The Fanzones in Plaça del Mar and Bogatell are opposite the race area and have giant screens for close-up action. Plaça de la Rosa dels Vents, Port Olímpic, and the beaches of St. Miguel, Barceloneta, and Somorrostro are also good options, but you need your mobile to watch the live show.

ON WATER

Areas around the race course will be dedicated to yachts and small crafts.

Superyachts should contact BWA to be coordinated into the America’s Cup Superyacht Official Programme.

TRANSPORT OPTIONS

Barcelona and the metropolitan area have a sustainable public transport network, making getting around easy. To meet the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup sustainability targets we encourage all visitors not to travel by personal car. Park your vehicle in one of the car parks away from downtown, then walk or catch the metro and enjoy the views and activities walking by foot, hiring a bicycle or a scooter. Taxis are also a good option to make life easier and smoother for all.
