See the best of Barcelona – without the sold-out tickets, the pickpockets or the overpriced paella.
Most of what goes wrong on a Barcelona trip is predictable: turning up at the Sagrada Família without a ticket, missing your Park Güell time slot, paying double on a lookalike ticket website, losing a phone on La Rambla or eating dinner at 7pm in an empty restaurant. This practical guide shows you how to avoid all of it.
Inside you'll find:
• The Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, the Gothic Quarter and cathedral, La Rambla and the Boqueria, and Montjuïc – with how long to allow, the best time to go, how tickets work and what to watch out for
• Airport to city by Aerobús, train, metro or taxi; metro and bus tickets explained; the low emission zone for drivers
• Which district to stay in, and how the 2026 tourist tax works
• Entry rules for British visitors, including the EU Entry/Exit System
• 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-day itineraries, plus Gaudí-in-a-day and budget plans
• Day trips to Montserrat, Girona, Sitges, Figueres and Tarragona
• Catalan food, tapas and markets, family and accessibility advice, and a quick-reference checklist
Clear, honest and to the point – ideal for a first visit or a city break.
Book 8 in the Traveller's Essentials series.
