Barcelona

Q: What is Barcelona best known for?

The capital of Catalan, Barcelona is known for its architecture, Antoni Gaudi’s works, and one of the most popular football teams. Some popular tourist attractions include La Sagrada Familia, La Boqueria, the Barceloneta Beach and of course, the largest stadium in Europe, Camp Nou Stadium.

Q: When is the best time to visit Barcelona?

The best time to visit Barcelona is from mid-September through October, where the crowds are thin and the lines are short. This way, you will be able to see and do more while enjoying the sights of the city. While the weather in Barcelona is generally good all year round, it’s best to avoid visiting during the summer as Barcelona is typically packed with travellers during the holidays.

Q: Where is the best location for tourists to stay in Barcelona?

For first-time visitors to Barcelona, the best places to stay are near the city center: anywhere near La Rambla, Placa de Catalunya, and the Old Town of Barcelona. If you’re on a tighter budget, you might choose to stay at Poble Sec or Placa España instead.

Hola! Welcome to Barcelona. The capital Catalonia is best known for delicious tapas and of course, Antoni Gaudi's masterpieces. Also home to a number of World Heritage Sites, you can guarantee that this city is quite a sight for sore eyes!

When in Barcelona, you must pay a visit to Gaudi's stunning architectural masterpieces - Park Guell, Casa Batllo, and of course the unfinished La Sagrada Familia. If you can spare a whole day, take a trip up to the Montserrat - a multi-peacked rock range in Barcelona. And most importantly - eat! You can find paella and tapas in every corner, so go ahead and treat yourself!

Hola Barcelona Travel Card

Travelers can use all bus lines and subways throughout Barcelona within 48 hours after activating the pass, but it gets a bit tricky when exchanging the pass at the station. Because the counter is not open 24 hours, you have to wait in the morning. It can be seated all over the city from the city center to the Olympic port without any problems.

Montserrat Half Day Tour from Barcelona by Bus

The half-day group is good, and the most important thing is to communicate with yourself. Basically, the tour guide on the car has already explained the details. When up to the mountain, the introduction will be shaken, and the free time has already been set. There is plenty of time, enough time to queue up, visit, and take pictures. So magnificent, recommend.
