🇪🇸 The Barcelona Masterlist

🇪🇸 The Barcelona Masterlist

Famous for art and architecture, Barcelona is popular for good reason! You can often find cheap flights here from other spots in Europe, so it’s always worth adding on to your next trip! This guide gives you tons of suggestions to the Catalonian capital of Spain - enough to keep you busy and fed for 5 days. If you have fewer days, I’ve prioritized the best parts. On this guide, you’ll get: - the major sights with notes on what you’re seeing and if they need advanced booking - an interactive map to help navigate you to each spot - instructions on how to get around the city, as well as to/from the airport - 3 shops for handcrafted espadrilles or leather boots - 9 restaurants at varying price points, 6 cafe & bars, and 2 accommodation suggestions

Know Before You Go

When planning your trip, know that Barcelona isn’t a cheap city. Museums can easily run 30€ each, so it’s helpful to prioritize! I’ve also included plenty of free and cheap options.

Barcelona has its share of pickpockets. I almost don’t mention it because I don’t want to make you nervous. It didn’t feel any different than Paris, Rome, or New York City in that regard. Basically, be aware of your bags, don’t keep all your money in one place, and don’t be nice to strangers trying to get you to sign petitions or sell something.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
