Pro
Great food, lots of restaurants, balmy weather (even in July), unusual architecture, talented street musicians, excellent flamenco
Con
A city with one of the highest population densities - 17400 per km2 - in the world - second only to Calcutta. One of Europe's noisiest major cities.
In a nutshell
A great mixture of the old Gothic and the new Modernist buildings
310 Reviews This place is a tourist trap! Very crowdy...!! Lots of things to look at, nice art...if you like Gaudi's lovely art since there's always something new to discover... in colors or forms.Park Güell (Catalan: Parc Güell [ˈparɡ ˈɡweʎ]) is a garden complex with architectural...
429 Reviews For an extra 4Euros you can purchase an easy to use Audioguide which provides an excellent summary of the main points of interest about this amazing building. In my opinion the audioguide is invaluable because, as a visitor, you will probably be overwhelmed by the pure spectacle of the place but...

6 Reviews and 894 Opinions We spent 3 nights at this hotel , which is very well located for most things Gaudi and the city...
29 Reviews I visited the establishment, anticipating the fabled ambience. (I'm a Picasso/modernisme enthusiast, to say the least. I've read up on the restaurant and its former theater). The service was utterly horrendous. And that's an understatement. Listen, I've worked as a waiter before. I understand how...
39 Reviews In Barcelona you are spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants but the reason we chose this restaurant was due to the location (Placa Reial) and the menu had a good selection. We arrived early (in Spanish terms) 8.45pm and it was busy however we didn't need to queue but it was a Sunday night in...
53 Reviews If you're looking for dancing and partying and an overall great night out in Barcelona, you will definitely love the club scene here! FYI: +The clubs are not as full during Monday to Wednesday, and sometimes only a small portion of the clubs are open on these days. I'd spend these nights going out...
19 Reviews It seems like the southern part is more touristy and maybe dodgier at night. I had dinner north: safe, only restaurants, not much crowd, fancy people; then walked south to plaza catalunya: was offered weed, lots of tourists, attractions, shady people... Nothing happened though. Barcelona is not...
70 Reviews Aerobus is a convenient and fast option to reach the city center of Barcelona from the airport and vice versa. It takes about 20 minutes to reach Plaza Catalunya from the airport and it costs 5.65 Euro per person. You can easily find the Aerobus stop at the exit of the airport and you can get your...
94 Reviews I purchased a t10 ticket which cost 9.95Euros. This entitled me to 10 individual trips, including from the airport to central Barcelona. Just a word of warning though when I tried to use the ticket after about 2 days of storing it in my pocket we had trouble getting the machine to recognise the...
43 Reviews Rollitoasi is a young, handmade and craft clothing and accessories shop in Barcelona. http://rollitoasi.blogspot.com/p/la-shop-en-bcn.html It offers unique,original and good quality bags, brooches, vintage neckless, dresses,skirts... They design and create all of their products where...
46 Reviews Well, the Boqueria market needs to introduction, everyone who visited it will take this amazing experience with him, but after visiting the market at least three times over the last 5 years, I can tell you that from each visit I've learned something new and exciting about the market - a new kind of...
78 Reviews The locals flock to get all they can of the ham and pasteries that abound around the city. We saw the real store that only sold the jamon, and yes; it is expensive no matter how you cut it, or how thin it is cut.
116 Reviews Please be very wary when getting the train from the airport into Barcelona Sants station as it appears to be a big pickpocket target. You've just arrived from the airport for your holiday and with your case are obviously a tourist who will have all your valuables on you and are probably distracted,...
71 Reviews There is a real danger of your hand luggage being stolen at the airport. There is a cafe area just inside the revolving door at the Easyjet check in where its very easy for criminals to merge with travellers and pick up bags as if they were their own. We were a party of 6 and checked our cases in...
34 Reviews If you tell Fernanda I wrote this I'm a dead man. I've been in Barcelona more than 30 years ago, in a rush to proceed to France and Germany. I got an excellent idea of the town, but, for one reason or another, I never went back - even when we went to Andorra, and Salou, visiting Montserrat, we...
40 Reviews What else to expect at Las Ramblas? Maybe it is too much to mention, but let me have try. First off all I immediately noticed all the street performers the whole way along Las Ramblas. Most of them are human statues, but there were also flexible dancers, musicians, magicians and marionettes. We...
14 Reviews A big handbag which doesnt keep falling off your shoulder! Not only is it a pain, it also isnt safe from bag snatchers. Bag should be big enough to carry camera, papers, travel guide, water, juice, a thick shawl/sweater for when it gets chilly later in the day, a sandwich for when the only food you...
41 Reviews An hour by train from Barcelona is the impressive Montserrat. From the train station at Espana, you can buy the round trip tickets that include both the train and the cable car for around 18E. The Church features the famous Black Virgin, and there can be a long line to walk up next to the figurine....
55 Reviews Take time to meander - losing yourself in the maze of alleys, streets and lanes is one of the Old Town´s principal pleasures. The streets wind and wander with no discerrible order or object. We rewarded ourselves with a cool cup of gelato for our effort! But you won´t do justice to the entire city...
50 Reviews I have seen FC Barcelona play twice at Estadi Camp Nou. First time, I saw FC Barcelona against Malaga, and second time FC Barcelona against Deportivo La Coruna. The atmosphere at the stadium is good, but nothing compared to other countries (for example, England). A visit to a FC Barcelona home...
58 Reviews Sagrada Familia - This is the amazing, unfinished church designed by Gaudi. From the outside, it is quite a sight to see, but if you do go to church, you must climb up to the top. The view from the parapets over Barcelona is breathtaking. Be warned, it is quite a hike up some very steep stairs.

There is an old saying: "Barcelona es bona si la bossa sona. Tant si sona com si no sona, Barcelona es bona" (Rough translation: Barcelona is good, if the (money)bag sounds. Even it sounds or it......
Barcelona is certainly a city of many wonders. Elisabeth and I were captivated from the moment we walked out of the train station onto the street. We knew right away, this was like no other city...

Nice place to visit in the summer, great sea food and the best beach i've been too. The sand is very rare and ladies don't wear bras...
Barcelona was the best place to study abroad - Mediterranean climate, amazing architecture, tasty food, and outgoing people!!
We surely enjoyed our 4 days there this past May. I liken it to San Francisco with a combination of ocean, hills and a very vibrant feel to it.
Wonderful place to visit in the summer. I also love taking a trip down to Mallorca as well
