High Prices: Always go to places with...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Always go to places with listed prices, IT'S THE LAW!!
    I myself, having grown up there, got rimmed by small bar and store owners. It's ok to support the locals, but be very careful! you need to ask first How much is the item going to cost you, then you decide if you want to pay their inflated prices or keep walking.
    Remember that a 1.5 litre bottle of water only costs 60 pesetas in the supermarkets (you'll find them everywhere! from Caprabo to Dia) Don't let them charge you 300 to 500 pesetas per each bottle of water, of course! with the exception of the night clubs.

    High Prices: Haha, never eat at the Rambla....
  • Tip Rating:
  • Haha, never eat at the Rambla. They will charge you more for less and lousy food. You can sit and drink some wine, that's oke, but then, watch your wallet and do not look too much like a tourist.

    High Prices: Don't pay to go into Sagrada cathedral
    Best for taking pictures from outside. For 10EUROS to go in, you only see museum, you can no longer climb upto top. You have to pay 5euro to take lift up.
    Very cheeky and expensive

    dont pay to go in...take pictures from outside

    check out the other cathedrals in Barcelona

    Counterfeit notes in Barcelona. We were given a 10,000 peseta note (it was colour photocopied). Beware of these notes and be familiar with the currency.

    High Prices: Ask the price first
    If you're going for breakfast or lunch ask the price first. There are many rip-offs there.
    We had a really expensive breakfast somewhere at the Ramblas. They just ripped us off because we didn't ask the price first.
    There are possibilities to eat good and cheap in Barcelona but you have to find em.

    High Prices: The Irish Rambler
    In Carrer san Paul (off Las Ramblas) is an Irish Bar called The Irish Rambler. Having been charged 5 euros for a pint of John Smiths I complained about the price being told that I should have asked first and that they could get away with it. For overpricing and very rude treatment - AVOID!

    High Prices: Souvenirs shops @ Les Rambles
    Souvenirs shops @ Les Rambles

    Be aware to those souvenir shops in Les Ramblas ruled by arabs and latinos, they always try to impose to buy something, in what concerns to my experience they didn't get anything from me because I ran away before they started to make me lots of proposals. And the prices are very, very high.

    High Prices: Petit Palace Opera Garden High Tech Hoteles
    This is a Hotel next to "Call" or Jewish Quarter. It's a really nice hotel 4* rate. I love the public garden that this one has inside and that everybody can visit, but I didn't like the prices of drinks:

    1 beer 5€ plus 7% IVA

    Avoid to drink in 4-5* hotels...they charge you too much

    Alternatives in Barcelona are everywhere specially outsite tourist spots
