I love that you recommend people to get on the right side of escalators. It's truly annoying for locals to not respect that simple rule.

One of the best places to eat in Barcelona is shown on your opening shot! Over your head is a white building, El Conte Ingle's department store. That black row of windows at the top is the stores cafeteria. The food is great, the prices are good and the view of Catalunya square is GREAT! My wife and I had two great meals for less than $25... Give it a try !

When I walk a lot in Barcelona (25 km a day), I often rest in a Mc Donald's with a Latte. It's cool, there's internet, sometimes I can charge my iPad, toilet, sink. It's really worth it. Mercadona is my favorite shopping place. I love your kind, humorous information show. Your shirt is good too. (You are on it?). And I promise I won't stand out on the sidewalk as much from now on. Take a step back. Latom You also love Barcelona. It's a dream city.

I'm on day 4 of thr BCN trip and stumbled upon a restaurant that had a set menu for 13 euros. Had Paella as first, ribs as second with, bread, beer, and coffee. Makes much more sense after watching your vid. Today is Thursday aka Paella day

Completely agree with all your advice in this video! People need to plan ahead and investigate what are the live style of the place they visit. It’s not only Barcelona around Europe each city or destination has their particular live style. Great video as always Patrick. Actually we are at Rome. Zoe and Ramon

I love the gothic quarter... I just love Barcelona... And hope to be back soon.

From someone who lived in BCN for 5 years and quickly got tired of tourists...please don't yell or scream when you're walking/hanging out in neighborhoods at night... People actually live there and have children. Also, don't stand in the way of people to take pictures. Be considerate.

Felicitacions, Patrick, realment molt bones recomanacions per visitar Barcelona, que també es poden aplicar a altres ciutats!
De guia a guia: molt bona feina, una que m'agrada especialment és la recomanació de no menjar a la Rambla, jo faig la mateixa recomanació per la Rambla de la Llibertat a Girona!

[glepuof]

So thankful for all your advices because Spain particularly in Barcelona is one of my Bucket list, ❤ so thankful that there are still people who cares

Was just in Barcelona, the hotel wanted 10.90€ for a beer. Over past Playa Espanya, at a cafe near the museum just 5€ for a very large beer and chips! Explore the city and the neighborhoods and you will save money. Sagrada Familia and Park Güell sold out both in early May and mid November, we had bought tickets in advance. Great video and good info!

[ericmanner]

One thing I have come to enjoy is your passing thru of Placa de Sant Jaume. It gives me a chance to reminisce about my favorite sandwich shop, Conesa Entrepans.

YUMMO!

Recommendby Triple D. I ALWAYS make a point to stop by no matter where I may be staying in town.

[dianef]

Noticed that when I was in Barcelona. The good restaurants for dinner were opening at about 8.30 9PM even 10PM.

[MalkyMcMillan]

We're visiting at the moment and enjoying your insights. Thanks.

[javierhenao]

Just got back from Barcelona and if you want to buy tickets to park guell, buy them at least two months prior to your trip!

[virtualtourmlshawaii]

Great information! Especially the tip for buying tickets ahead of time. Will I be able to skip the long line of if I buy tickets ahead of time? Thank you for sharing! Love your channel
