 parking spots for scooters by irisbe
But if you live here and you need to make longer trips and get from A to B at the most quickest way possible and still economical, ... then there is only one other option left:
"the motorcycle" or "the scooters".
It was nice to see how a special parking space is reserved for this two wheeled engines!
I think you have to be courageous however to manouver through the busy and packed streets !
I also noticed that the streets are one way streets, which made it quite easy to cross them as pedestrian. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

 Bicing stand in Barcelona by karenincalifornia
Here's how it works. For 24 Euros, you buy an annual subscription to Bicing. You will receive a map of all the Bicing locations throughout the city. Go to any one one of the Bicing stands throughout the city (look for the red and white bikes), and swipe your card. The rack unlocks and allows you to take a bike. You can rent a Bicing bike for up to 2 hours (for a nominal charge) and drop it off at any Bicing location.
Even though this is geared toward residents, had I known about this before I left the US, I would have paid the 24 Euros for an annual subscription and ridden the bike all over Barcelona. That is a lot cheaper than your standard multiday bike rental anywhere else. Plus, it would be so much more fun than walking everywhere. Here's the link to the Bicing website. It's in Spanish or Catalan, but this is how you buy the subscription.
I should also mention that Barcelona has bike lanes throughout the city. Very bicycle friendly. Leave a Comment

 DETAIL MODERNISTA BUILDING by eden_teuling
Start e.g. at the Plaça Nova or the Plaça de la Seu (the square in front of the old Cathedral), walk into the Carrer del Bisbe Irurtia via Portal del Bisbe. The Romanesque towers you see there date back to the Roman times.
Pass the Bishop's Palau and turn to the right to the picturesque Plaça Sant Felip and see the CLOISTER at your left hand. The Carrer del Bisbe Irurtia goes along between the Casa dels Canonges and the decorated façade (Renaissance) of the Palau de la Generalitat., which is the homebase of a autonomous = self=governing CATALUNYA.
When you are once again at the Plaça Sant Jaume, you can see the Ajuntament (Casa de la Ciudad = town hall) exactly opposite the Generalitat.
The Plaça del Rei, hidden north of the Cathedral is still more INPRESSIVE.
Like for the Museu d'Historia de la Ciudad, stone by stone has been brought here to complete it in style. It contains parts of the former Royal Palau and a Gothic hall, de Saò de Tinell, where Columbus announced the success of his first journey to Ferdinand and Isabella.
The Plaça Ramon Berenguer el Gran, where the Statue of Berenguer II stands offers a wonderful panorama on the Roman Walls outside the Barri Gitic.
Of course you can walk however you want to go but knowing where you go is always nice!
I hope you enjoy my little bits if history!
For a sightseeing tour to and through other destinations the METRO is easiest and quickest! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: n.v.t.Website: www. Other Contact: n.v.t.

Most tourist use the 'Barcelona Transports Turistics,' t.i. those silly open touristbusses where you can sit on the roof of it. Dont be that silly: there's a much more intersting way of seëing the city. O.k, you will not find a lazy, passive ride along all the sights, but as far for us, what we did was much moore fun: we hired mountainbikes at the parc de la Ciutadella (there's a shop were they rent bikes at the passeigh de picasso, for 3000 pts a day)and took our own tour throughout Barcelona. Some fellows thought that we were nut, considering the chaotic trafic in the city, but it really wasn't that dangerous. When you're a little familiar to the city, or have good city maps, you can avoid the crowded mainstreets like the diagonal, and then you can see the whole city in one day. It's much more fun than using the metro, for then, you're underground the whole time. Now you see places, you normally would miss and its also fun to ride between all the traffic that has got stuck in traffic jam! But: make sure you have a bike with some good brakes (check it: many bikes they hire are of bad quality!!!)and gears, for the city has some heavy hills!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

Another good option to visit the city is by bike! Yes, of course. There are different companies in the city to rent a bicycle.
Aralcar is called this company that is located in La Rambla number 58, Ent. 1ª and offers 50 km of bike road at your service.
One day cost about 1000 pesetas and full day 1.500. If you need it all the week about 6.000 pesetas. More info? 93/301.63.77
There are guides if you need it! Special routes around the city! Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle
