I had a wonderful time in Barcelona and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit. I felt safe throughout my stay, even when walking around at night. The city has a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere, and the locals are generally friendly and helpful. One highlight of my trip was exploring the Gothic Quarter, which is full of history and character. The narrow, winding streets are perfect for wandering and discovering hidden gems, including quaint shops and beautiful old buildings. For food lovers, Barcelona is a paradise. I recommend trying a variety of tapas at a local bar. My favorite experience was at a small, family-run place that served incredible patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo, and jamón ibérico. Don't miss Barceloneta Beach, especially at sunset. It's a perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. The beach is clean, and the Mediterranean Sea is refreshing. There are also many beachside bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a drink or a meal with a view of the ocean. My itinerary included visits to iconic sites like Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló. Each of these places showcases Gaudí’s unique architectural style and is worth the visit. Overall, Barcelona offers a perfect mix of rich culture, delicious food, and beautiful scenery, making it an ideal destination for solo travelers.

Barcelona is generally safe. However, like all urban areas, it has its challenges. Pickpockets are the biggest problem here especially in tourist-heavy areas, as Las Ramblas or Placa de Canalunya. Keep your belongings secure. Overall, I felt safe walking around Barcelona, even at night in well-lit areas. Things to Do: -Sagrada Familia: The most iconic basilica in Barcelona ( its beter to buy your tickets earlier on the website) - Park Güell: Its Gaudis cteation as well. - Flamenco shows: its traditional Spanish culture. Venues like Tablao Cordobés offer excellent shows. - Food Markets: Visit La Boqueria for fresh produce and local food. It’s a great spot for lunch. Dont eat in the most popular place like la rambla because the price is very high and the quality of the food is low. I leave in my friends house so I can tell a lot about the accomodation here. But for sure there is a lot of hostels, student houses and flats to rent. It depends on your budget

I traveled to Barcelona with my cousin 1. We did Couchsurfing and I don’t recommend Barcelona for that.. our host was creepy, he tried to massage us. Later when we talked with locals they said that basically hosts in Barcelona use Couchsurfing to find someone to have sexual relationship with… So be careful ladies, you can’t trust even women because all the reviews about that guy we stayed at were great, but when I texted those girls who stayed with him privately they said they had the exact experience as we did… 2. There is not much to see in Barcelona. Sangrada familia is beautiful and definitely worth seeing. 3. If you want to go to the beach do not go to the main ones because there is a lot of annoying sellers. 4. Use app the fork. You can find great deals to eat Spanish food! 5. If you want to go clubbing most of the clubs are free to enter before 1am. But some may charge you if they see you are a tourist so try to stick with Spanish people ask them to lead to together if you don’t want to pay 20€ entry fee.
Posted: July 26, 2024Barcelona is beautiful! While pick-pocketing is a huge issue here and El Raval can be quite scary, overall Barcelona is a wonderful experience that I highly recommend. Check out La Sagrada Familia, Casa Batló (House of Bones), the shops along Passeig de Gracia, La Rambla (and La Boqueria).
