I'm on my first trip abroad and I'm in Barcelona. I'm going to see Italy, which is my childhood dream and I want to travel all over Italy. I see Italy in my dreams and I feel like a part of my heart beats here. I visited Barcelona one day and the first building I saw was the Sagra De Familia. I was mesmerized, terrified, hypnotized. I thought it doesn't get any better than this, so I came to Barcelona Marina. Seeing the ocean was also very fascinating. I rode the cable car. I can say it was my most unforgettable experience because I felt like a bird flying over the sea. When I got off the cable car, I was greeted by a very romantic story. So I was very lucky 😍😍

Barcelona is amazing, I stayed in an hostel and met really nice people. I got lucky to find a place where they rent bicycles for a good price. It’s really save to travel alone even at night. The food is amazing and you can also go for drinks everywhere in the city
Posted: November 23, 2023I highly recommend visiting Barcelona. I walked most of the time alone and used the subway and trains. I also walked in the evenings and didn't encounter any unpleasant situations. No one bothered me. People were helpful and kind, but they didn't really want to speak English.
Posted: November 6, 2023I was in Barcelona solo and I highly recommend it. It's a beautiful city with plenty to see. As for safety on the streets, I didn't feel unsafe. The only thing to watch out for is your wallet in the metro.
Posted: November 4, 2023I went to Barcelona in late October last year for my first solo trip and absolutely loved it. So walkable so many things to do. It was awesome.
Posted: October 11, 2023I just went to Barcelona alone and loved it. For sights, I loved the Palau de Musica de Catalan, the Sagrada Família (get tickets far in advance), seeing live flamenco, and the Gaudì buildings. The beaches were nice too.
Posted: October 1, 2023As a solo female, this city felt very safe to me. I never came across any problems. There was so much to do, was very busy all the time! The transport is excellent and also very safe. I would go back there again for another solo trip.

Barcelona it’s self was a very vibrant city with lots of nightlife, great Spanish food and seafood, sangria and music. The beach was beautiful and warm and the weather was hot and sunny. I did find the city to smell though, bad. The public transport was easy to navigate so there was never an option where I had to walk too far! However, as a solo female traveler I felt unsafe. I felt unsafe walking around during the day and I felt unsafe walking around during the evening even with my friends I met. I’m naturally light blonde and I have blue eyes and I got harassed something chronic and I got assaulted by someone who crossed the street to grab my 🍑. I was with a friend, in an area with lots of people and in the early evening. The men freaked me the fuck out and I am not going back. Let’s hope Valencia is better 🙏
Posted: August 22, 2023I went in November and saw all the Gaudí architecture and even went up into the towers of Sagrada Familia which I highly recommend. The Gothic quarter was beautiful to walk around as well. The crowd was very chill and I ended up meeting some other solo traveling girls.
Posted: August 9, 2023Barcelona has everything: art galleries, museums, shops, great food (a lot of places to choose from for vegans too), beach, sun, nightlife, and happy people. And I felt safe all the time. Recommended it.
Posted: August 8, 2023Pickpockets usually operate in the metro, La Rambla, Gothic Quarter, and Raval. Don’t go alone at night in those neighborhoods. Keep your belongings in front of you and be careful with your phone, don’t leave it on tables, etc. Just the normal precautions of any big city. In Barcelona, the taxi app is called Cabify.
Posted: October 10, 2023I spent 5 weeks in Barcelona, living in different parts of the city, walking home in the middle of the night, and walking around with my whole camera set before sunrise, no issue at all, never felt unsafe.
Posted: July 26, 2023Barcelona is a city filled with sunshine and bliss, and everywhere you look is a cultural sight to be adored! The food’s never disappointing and you can find many different cuisines in the city. Definitely take the time to visit the museums as well, they add a lot to the experience. However, beware of catcalling and pickpockets. It unfortunately is very common and police is most likely to do nothing about it.

In Barcelona Is the hop on and off bus worth it to see the sites? Also, the Sagrada Familia is it worth paying extra for the towers ?
