Any good tips for visiting Barcelona?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes! I had a great time there on a trip last winter. what kind of place are you looking to stay in & how much are you willing to spend? we stayed in a b & b called Vrabac that was very conveniently lcoated and very cheap but it did not have the amenities of a hotel...bathrooms were down the hall. it was clean, but the rooms that faced the street were very noisy, so I'd only recommend it if you can get a room not on the street or if you bring earplugs! however, in the winter season, much cheaper than a hotel. In terms of tourism, go see all the Gaudi architecture--and it's well worth paying for the actual tour of the Sagrada Familia. Park Guell is a really fun place to stroll around and get a great view of the city and see more crazy Gaudi architecture. If you are interested in history, specifically history of hte inquisition, I would recommend visting the tiny ancient synogogue in the old city--there they can set you up with a tour that I think they only do on Saturdays, where they take you all through the old city and walk you through the history of the Jewish community in barcelona before, during, and after the inquisition. Fascinating, and not something you'll find in the tour book. It's a walking city so bring good shoes because you will want to walk everywhere to take in all the sites.
