50 FREE Things to do in Barcelona

Barcelona 😏 I came to Barcelona to visit a friend and quickly realized there was not much of a plan... so I made this quick little itinerary of fun things that looked interesting to visit. Barcelona is a super walkable city, and the public transportation is also really good. I would say to plan in advance for this time (not like me LOL) because tickets sell out really really fast to see the museums. 

Barcelona for a weekend

I strongly believe that the best way to get in touch with the culture and traditions of a country is to visit different cities that identify it. As far as Spain is concerned, this concept is even stronger because Catalonia and Andalusia are similar in some ways but different in others and crossing different cities to get to know the different facets is the best thing and the one I recommend. This trip turned out to be wonderful and I hope it will be helpful to those who want to plan a tour similar to the one I did. Spain is a land that transmits positivity. The weather is almost always good and sunny, the people very sociable and helpful, the food very good and the culture very strong and identifying.

One of the symbols of Barcelona, the masterpiece of the architect Antonio Gaudì. An ambitious project started in 1882, recognized all over the world and visited by millions of people. The Construction Commission hopes to complete the work in 2026, when it will be the centenary of Gaudí's death.
