I have been told the metro system is quite efficient, but I think the city is very walkable.
If you take Plaza Catalunya as a starting point, you can get to the Columbus statue the end of "Las Ramblas" in 10 minutes. You can also get to "Casa Batllo" in less than that and "La Pedrera" is not much further away.
"La Sagrada Familia" seems very far away on the map, but if the weather is nice, it can also be reached on foot.
In order to see all the interesting things, walking is probably the best option.
Of course, if you are going to "Park Guell" it is better to take the bus. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

If there's only a short distance between places, walking is the best way to get around. It lets you see more of the city. Places like Las Ramblas and the area with the beaches, are made for walking. So be sure to wear comfortable shoes!
Just remember to be careful at night, and don't travel alone or take unnecessary risks during the night. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

We went by plane: we were lucky to find VERY cheap tickets!!!
The first days we mainly took the bus but as soon as we descovered the subway, we knew better!!! The metro is very fast and easy.
The best way to discover the center of Barcelona is by food, just wander around through the narrow streets. Theme: Airplane

To me, I prefer walking with my own legs because Barcelona is easier to walk than other city in Europe. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

By airplane, well, if your not from Spain originally. Otherwise, a train is perfect.
First thing: walk when you are in a city! That way, you can see more of it, than with other transportation. We did also a lot by metro, nice things there. It does not travel wery late or very far, but it's fast and comfortable. Remember to take a 10-pass cart or a day-cart, allways cheaper than a single trip.
When going to the beach-citys like Sitges, do ALWAYS go by train, this is very fast, comfortable and with air conditioning. It is also very cheap (350 pesetas!)
On a warm but not to warm day, do take the touristbus for a ride. It takes 2 or 3 hours, you can go off and on the bus when and where you want and it drives you to all the major places in Barcelona. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

To get to know Barcelona, I would suggest walking is the best way to enjoy the city. You'll never know some corner you might just find some buildings with great architechtural.. :) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

When in Barcelona, it may seem tiring and sometimes boring, but the best way to get around is by foot. Otherwise, there is a chance of missing small tihngs, that you may remember for a long itme to come. On foot you can get lost to your own pleasure, and wander round all day in the alleyways and small roads all round the city. There is always something new to see, that may not be in any guide books, so you can't plan a trip. It's cheap, and convenient as you can stop whenever and wherever you like, and is generally all fun! To go further in hot weather, busses or the train system is needed, especially to get to some of the parks like Parc Guell, but on unplanned trips-just walk!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
