I actually just visited Barcelona and I genuinely fell in love with it. It was so beautiful. It actually wanted me to move there

[dantehernandez]

Very informative, concise and straight to the point video. You hit all the "just tell me what I need to know" points that would be useful for a first time visitor. Barcelona has become my favorite city in Europe to visit. I've visited four times and I still keep discovering more interesting places and things to do in Barcelona and the region of Catalunya. Loved that you pronounced Girona the Catalan way. 🙂👍

This was SO helpful. I’m going to Barcelona solo next month, and all of these tips are 💯. Especially about the pickpocketing in restaurants!

[mickmorrison]

I’m organising a stag party later this month and I’ve told my friends to have shorts and jogging pants with zipped pockets. I agree with you that most places are walkable, we are going visit Camp Nou from Poble Nou. The park is still in zone one and with a metro ticket you can change metros and it counts as one journey. Also there is a T familia ticket 8 journeys that can be share with friends, so for instance this would be return journeys for 4 people on one ticket. Totally agree with you that Barcelona is a fantastic city, it’s my favourite of all the cities that I’ve visited.

I have just returned from Barcelona, I spent a month here and these tips are so useful 😍 I totally agree that it's a very walkable city! Also, even though me and my husband were very aware that there are a lot of pickpocketers and we were super careful, we still got robbed in the metro. Keep your phone and wallet near your body, ideally in an inside pocket of your jacket. I suggest visiting tourist attractions during weekdays, not weekends. It's also worth checking free admission days for museums, it's different for every museum (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday). Lastly, I suggest that you do your research on safety in each district of Barcelona before you book your accomodation. Avoid EL Raval at night, some parts of Sant Marti are also not so welcoming. I heard positive opinions on Les Corts and Gracia. I was living in Les Tres Torres for a week and it was very nice and safe, I really enjoyed it here. Then we moved to northern Sant Marti (near Besos Mar) and I must say that I didn't feel comfortable walking my dog at night there.

I’m thinking of moving out of the country with my 13 year old. Barcelona is near the top of my list. Thanks for the thorough info!

The late food part is not just Barcelona, it is most of south Europe.. its the same in Italy, Greece, Portugal and even in Turkey.

[sethwashburne]

Thanks for making and sharing this video. You cover a lot of useful things other videos don't, e.g., that Spain is divided into many autonous zones, that there are super blocks, the bus after the subway stops running. Thanks so much.

[davidsh]

This was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much and will review all of your other videos and TikTok’s!!

[ADukeFan]

I just booked the food tour for my visit in September and I’m so excited! Thanks for the tips!

[polepino]

Was in Madrid in Oct. '22 with my brother and a friend of mine. That friend is a great guy and makes a good amount of money and likes to tip very hard in the US. While we knew tipping wasn't too much of a thing in Spain, my friend continued his hard tipping just because its something he likes to do, partly because he used to work in the service industry. Let's just say his tipping was very much welcomed and sometimes we'd get a little bit extra from the bartender/waiter lol Looking at Barcelona this coming October!

[johnnywolfdalcour]

You are a beauty ❤️🙏🏽 Thank you. I have a layover there after I leave Egypt 🇪🇬

[codeTRIPB-TRIP]

Thank you so much for sharing this great video about traveling to Barcelona! These practical tips will undoubtedly help first-time travelers planning a trip to this beautiful city to better prepare their itinerary. I'm also very excited to see what kind of different Europe I'll encounter while traveling by AVE! My friend taught me how I can get cheap train tickets, so this trip will no longer be by plane but by rail ~ looking forward to my European rail trip!
