#getgoing2025 Barcelona is unbelievable popular destination for travelers from all over the world. I see many reasons for it - it’s full of stunning architecture, delicious food, fun and crazy nightlife etc. I’d like to share my travel tips for you to be prepared for a trip to this European capital: • There will be lots of tourists during the season, so I would suggest to travel there in winter time like I did and to book all attraction tickets in advance • If you want to have an authentic cultural experience in Barcelona, you can look for local events that embrace Catalan traditions like the parades of giants, human tower gatherings, Sardana dance circles and th • Everyone will tell you La Rambla is a must-do, but for me, walking the Rambla feels a lot like walking through Times Square back at home – crowded, touristy, and to be avoided whenever possible. Thankfully, the city has more than one Rambla, where you can actually enjoy the slow strolling these city features were built for. • Barceloneta is the most famous beach in Barcelona, and the adjacent neighborhood is worth checking out for its narrow streets and great tapas spots, but travel further down the coast if you actually want to lay out on the beach. Barceloneta can get very crowded and noisy with tourists, so walk or cab your way past Port Olímpic to Platja de la Mar Bella. Because all the beaches in Barcelona are artificial, built for the 1992 Olympic games, the sand isn’t the nicest, to be frank. • Pickpockets are a real issue. You should never let your guard down, especially when riding the metro or walking down crowded tourist areas like La Rambla. Put your phone away whenever you’re not using it, and never leave it sitting on the table if you’re dining outside Have an amazing time in Barcelona!

#citydaytours During a recent holiday in Spain. I decided to skip most of the big and expensive cities in favour of offbeat. That was until the last day, when i was due to fly out of Spain via Barcelona. I arrived early morning in Barcelona with over 18 hours to spare before I head home. I bought a day long Barcelona pass, which allowed me the use of hop on hop off bus and free entry to some places. Here is what the day long itinerary looked like 1 - Placa Catunya - After arriving in the early hours I had breakfast at the airport and headed to Placa Catunya. 2 - The Gracia passage - This is a fine street to walk on with some sights of interest starting with the Casa Lleo i Morera by Luis Domenech i Montaner, then the Casa Amatller by Puig y Cadalfach, and finishing with the astonishing Casa Batllo, by none other than Antoni Gaudi. Lastly, the ingenious Casa Milla. 3 - Sagrada Famillia - With the blue line of the hop on hop off bus you will be dropped here. This is a wonderful spot and your Barcelona pass gives you free entry. 4 - Park Guell - Get on the blue line again and explore yet another gaudi gem park Guell. Once again your Barcelona pass helps you skip the line and free entry. 5 - Food Hour - This should be mid day and you need to recharge. Head to Gracia street and grab a bite. You have numerous tapas bars and other options. 6 - Camp Nou - You cannot just miss barca's home ground. Hop on the blue line again and head to the other side of the city where the legendary Camp Nou football stadium awaits. 7 - Las arena & Olympic stadium - Switch to the red line and head to Las arena before taking a very enjoyable ride through the leafy hills of Montjuic mountain. You might want to alight at any of the Joan Miro Foundation, Olympic Stadium, or Miramar viewing point, if it interests you. 8 - Las Ramblas - You wouldn’t want to have to cross this street every day, as its positively jam-packed with tourists, but on the other hand, you wouldn’t want to miss it either. It’s a wide, lively street, flanked by theatres, restaurants and palaces. Don't miss the lively Placa Reial. 9 - Depending on time and preferences. You could enjoy a flamenco performance here or even a dinner. If time is a constraint. Now you would head back to the airport to relax a while before the flight.#spain #barcelona #travel #shopping #cafe #food #art #culture #womentravel #womenwhotravel #beachlife #flowerlover

📍Spots to Visit - #BarcelonaTravelItinerary! Day 1 - Casa Milà - Casa Batlló - La Rambla - ZARA Main Store - La Plaça de Catalunya - Mercat de la Boqueria - Plaça Reial - Port Vell / Rambla de Mar 📍Casa Milà It's no exaggeration to say that #Barcelona is a place to visit for #Gaudi's architecture. Throughout the city, the brilliant masterpieces of the past are well preserved, allowing you to delve into Gaudi's unique architectural world. The wealthy families who commissioned Gaudi to design their homes have opened their properties to the public, allowing future generations to experience the curvaceous design and the lifestyle of the past. :) #Casa means home! Since I live in both Casa Milà and Casa Batlló, I decided to visit just one. Haha. I chose the more famous Casa Batlló :) Instead, I had brunch on the first floor of Casa Milà to avoid disappointment. :) This #brunch restaurant was seriously so beautiful. ㅠㅠ The wavy pattern on the ceiling especially added a softness and beauty to the space. You don't need a fancy meal, so I highly recommend visiting!! 📍Casa Batlló Make sure to book in advance! I always go to Google Maps and book tickets on the official website. College students get a #studentdiscount, haha! You can also schedule a time in advance, which reduces wait times. Be sure to pick up an #audioguide at the entrance. :) The interior walls of Gaudí's house have a slightly reptilian, scaly(?) appearance. The doors are thicker than they appear, so not only did they have to be cut, but they also had to be calculated so the top and side hinges fit snugly together. Building them must have been a challenge. Each floor and room has a different concept, making it fun to explore. These are the stairs leading up from the hall, and the walls are decorated with ceramic tiles. The colors are beautiful, and the place itself feels a bit like a maze. Haha. There's a #rooftopcafe on the rooftop. Haha. Since the sun is hot, everyone seems to be ordering drinks and relaxing under the parasols. Since it's on the rooftop, you can get a close look at the rooftop decorations on top of Casa Batlló. They're cute, almost like #toys. This is actually a #observation deck with a great atmosphere, so if you're in Casa Batlló, you absolutely have to climb the stairs, even if they're difficult. Haha. The souvenir shop seems quite large. It was worth a visit. :) 📍Faborit Salad Restaurant We stopped by #Faborit for a light lunch! They serve light salads, but you have to pass a certain "Casa" to get inside. 👀 The kitchen interior and terrace seating are nice, so if you're looking for a light meal, this is a great place. Haha. Seems like a local favorite. I ordered a salmon wrap and a papaya juice. And the fun part was the oil bar! Spain is famous for its olive oil, and there are so many different types (plus salt). Haha. My favorite was the 🧚♀️ lemon-flavored olive oil 🧚❗️ This was truly revolutionary. ㅠㅠ For someone who loves refreshing flavors, it was a favorite. So, from then on, I went out of my way to get a small #lemon-flavored olive oil too. 😆 Of course, I expected it to be bland, but the salmon was quite salty... That's right, Barcelona is known for its incredibly salty food. ️ Everything about Barcelona is great, but finding food that wasn't overly salty was a bit of a struggle. So, honestly, except for one famous restaurant, I intentionally went to mostly Asian restaurants. ㅠㅠ 📍La Rambla ~ La Plaça de Catalunya #LaRambla is the tree-lined street that stretches from Plaça Catalunya to the coast where the Columbus statue is! The marble floors and clean streets make it one of my favorite places in Barcelona🤍 H&M, Lego Store, Zara, and other fashion brands line both sides of the square. With everything gathered together, it's a great place for shopping. I heard the #Zara flagship store is the world's largest, located in Barcelona, ​​so I definitely wanted to visit. Not only was the selection diverse, but the interior felt like a department store. :) From Boqueria Market onward, in the next post😊 #TravelItinerary

My trip to Spain was a tour group. Today I stayed in Barcelona, ​​and the tour ended before 8:00 PM. My independent travel spirit was surging! 💥 It took me half an hour to walk from the hotel to Las Ramblas. Haha. After shopping, I took the subway back. So much fun! Las Ramblas at night is quite different from the daytime. There are many markets at night. It's not crowded, but there are a lot of people. Not to mention that Spanish people are known for their clothes. 🥹🥹 During the day, it's a battlefield filled with boutiques and a frenzy of activity. Nightlife in Spain really doesn't start until 10:00 PM. 🇪🇸 There were also quite a few people smoking shisha. The subway isn't very clean, not comparable to those in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. There were also some unfriendly-looking people. It's important to be mindful of your bag and stay safe! ‼ ️ #SeptemberDestinations2025 #Barcelona #BarcelonaFreeTravel #LasRamblas #PlazaCatalunya

Barcelona hits different—romantic, artsy, and full of surprises! ❤️ But hey, keep your wits about you; like every city, it has its rough edges. Here’s my rapid-fire guide to five iconic spots you just cannot skip in this Spanish gem. Top Spots to Visit in Barcelona 1. Casa Batlló (Pg. de Gràcia, 43): Get swept up in Gaudí’s wild, dream-like world. Open daily 08:30–22:30. Tip: Buy tickets early (from €29.20)—evenings are less crowded for that magical, glowy facade! 2. Las Ramblas: The city’s heartbeat—endlessly buzzing, open all day. Watch your belongings here, but don’t forget to people-watch and snack on churros. Perfect stroll for lovers or solo explorers. 3. Cathedral of Barcelona (Pla de la Seu, s/n): Immerse in Gothic vibes. Mornings (from 09:30) are calmest. Dress modestly for smooth entry; sunset from the swoon-worthy rooftop is underrated. 4. Arc de Triomf (Passeig de Lluís Companys): Insta-worthy arch on a palm-lined promenade—free and always open. Grab a gelato and join the locals chilling nearby. 5. Sagrada Familia (Eixample): Nothing compares—inside or out. Hours vary by season (usually 09:00–20:00). Book a timed ticket (from €25.90) and aim for mid-morning, when sunlight makes the stained glass pop. Getting Around: Metro is your friend—fast, safe, and avoids city traffic jams. Stay alert in crowded areas, especially on public transport and busy streets like Las Ramblas. Food Hack: For a romantic local meal, hit up a tapas bar hidden in El Born, and don’t leave without trying patatas bravas and a big glass of sangria! Tip: Barcelona feels safe and relaxed, but always be mindful of pickpockets. Trust vibes, enjoy the romance, and soak up every moment! #BarcelonaTips #GaudiMagic #SpainTravel #TapasTrail #tripcom

[Barcelona | A Colorful Letter Under the Mediterranean Sun] On the Catalan coast, Barcelona resembles a painting filled with notes and colors. The Columbus Monument stands quietly in the morning, the sea breeze carries the salty aroma and first light of day, and the aroma of coffee from Las Ramblas gradually wafts from the street corners. The city is like a melody slowly awakening. Gaudí's buildings dot the landscape, their curves and mosaics dancing in the light and shadow, as if the air were imbued with the scent of art.

The coastline and the city skyline complement each other, creating a feast of colors, both warm and gentle. Walking along the seaside, the Mediterranean waves reflect the sky, sailboats rock gently, and the small shops, cafes, and artisan markets in the squares and alleys exude a vibrant atmosphere. Barcelona is more than just a tourist attraction; it is an emotion—a city melody of passion, freedom, and creativity. — ✨ Tips • Best time to visit: Early morning when the streets are quiet and the light is soft; evening sunsets by the sea or Montjuic are the most beautiful. • Scenic spots: Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, and strolling the Gothic Quarter's alleyways and along the coast. • Must-see attractions: Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona's coast, and Park Güell. • Transportation: Convenient metro and bus services are available, and walking distance is possible between the old town and the coast. • Seasonal atmosphere: Spring and summer are best for exploring the streets and the seaside, while autumn and winter are perfect for museums and city strolls. — 📌 Traveler's Notes In Barcelona, ​​I learned to follow the rhythm of light and shadow, letting my heart dance to the city's colors. — 🔖 Tags #Barcelona #Barcelona #SpainTravel #Mediterranean #Sagrada Familia #Gaudí Architecture #Gothic Quarter #Park Güell #CulturalTravel #CityWalk

As a popular tourist destination, Barcelona holds great appeal for Chinese visitors, but the claim of being "safe and visa-free" requires careful analysis based on actual circumstances. Here's a breakdown of key information: 1. Visa Requirements: - Schengen Visa: Spain is part of the Schengen Area. **Ordinary Chinese passport holders must apply for a Schengen visa in advance**, as there is no visa-free policy (unless holding a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa). - Exceptions: - Hong Kong or Macau SAR passport holders can stay visa-free for 90 days. - Those with long-term visas or residence permits from countries like the US or Canada may qualify for Spain's transit visa waiver (verify latest policies). - Important: Always check the latest information through Spanish embassies/consulates or official visa centers to avoid travel disruptions. 2. Safety Concerns: While generally safe, Barcelona requires vigilance: - High-risk areas: - Pickpocketing/theft: Tourist zones (La Rambla, Sagrada Família surroundings), metro, and airports have rampant pickpocketing—beware of distraction tactics. - Night safety: Some areas (e.g., El Raval) are riskier at night; travel in groups is advised. - Precautions: - Use anti-theft bags and keep documents separate. - Avoid displaying valuables (e.g., DSLR cameras, luxury items). - Rental car users: Never leave luggage visible to prevent break-ins. 3. Travel Tips: - Language: Catalan and Spanish are primary, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas. - Transport: Efficient metro/bus systems; recommend T-Casual travel card. Use apps like Free Now for taxis. - Culture: Reserve restaurants in advance; dinner typically starts after 8:00 PM. Summary: Barcelona is worth visiting, but Chinese travelers must obtain a Schengen visa and remain alert against theft. Purchase travel insurance and keep passport copies/backups. Check safety advisories from embassies before departure. For specific queries (visa documents, attractions), feel free to ask!

On my second day in Barcelona, I wandered alone through the Spanish old town, absorbing the unique charm of this city. The streets in the old town are narrow and winding, as if each cobblestone tells a story of historical changes. I weaved between ancient buildings whose exterior walls have been eroded by time, revealing mottled traces that give them an irreplaceable sense of history. I first arrived at the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic), one of Barcelona's oldest and most enchanting areas. The Gothic Quarter features predominantly Gothic-style architecture, with historical buildings like churches, city halls, and palaces visible everywhere. I entered the construction site of the Sagrada Família, which, although still under construction, has already become Barcelona's iconic building designed by Antoni Gaudí. Gaudí's architectural style is unique, filled with naturalistic and symbolic elements, leaving me in awe of this genius architect's talent. Afterward, I strolled to La Rambla, Barcelona's bustling main thoroughfare lined with flower stalls, street performers, and cafes. Here I felt the city's vitality while sampling authentic Spanish snacks like tapas and paella. At the end of La Rambla stands the Columbus Monument, where I climbed to the observation deck at the top to overlook the entire Barcelona port. The sea breeze was refreshing and invigorating. As night fell, I entered the Mercat de la Boqueria, a vibrant food market. Colorful fruits, fresh seafood, and various delicatessen stalls made my mouth water. I sampled fresh juices and seafood in the market, experiencing Barcelona's love for good food. The first day's journey filled me with curiosity and anticipation for Barcelona. This city not only has rich history and culture but also a unique artistic atmosphere and culinary experiences. I look forward to exploring more in the coming days and hope to gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating city.
