Barcelona is a beautiful city for all types of travelers. Whether you enjoy sightseeing, swimming on the beach, or eating delicious food, Barcelona has a lot to offer. The following provides some links on some of the best things to do in Barcelona. Feel free to pick what looks best for you and tailor your experiences to what you want to end up doing. Something you should keep in mind when travelling,
- Most people speak spanish but you may encounter some people who speak catalan, this is the native language of the region
- There can be some anti-tourist sentiment from locals due to the effects tourism has had on the city ( overcrowding, rising rent) however most of the people are friendly
- Most historical sites are quite expensive so budget money if you want to include those in your trip.
- I highly recommend using Airbnb, you can find some great places to stay for significantly less than a hotel.
- Beware of pickpockets in the Gothic District. This is an area that is notorious for pickpockets and they will specifically target you if you look like a tourist.
- If you want to go to a nightclub, most of the nightclubs will allow you to put your name on their reservation list online, this will help you save time and ensure a spot.
- Follow the link for restaurants and make sure you try out the variety of tapas Barcelona has to offer. You can also try out cheap eats like Donor Kebabs on the street.
