I loved walking around the Gothic quarter. I stayed at the Kimpton Sylvan and have never experienced customer service so great before. The rooftop was beautiful and the staff was just amazing. Els 4 Gats was a really great restaurant only a few mins walk away and the Barcelona cathedral was super close. Touring Park Guell and Casa Battlo were really cool too. The rooftop of Casa Battlo was great for photos.
Posted: May 31, 2023I stayed near Plaza Catalunya and felt very safe. Tons of metro stations connect near there so very convenient. I recommend: - free walking tours (gorgeous El Born, Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas daytime with a guide) - Gaudí: Batllo, Sagrada Família, Parque Guell, Casa Mila, Casa Vicens - beautiful architecture: Palau Música Catalana, for daily tours or nightly shows - chocolate street - day trips like Montserrat monastery (on the top of a mountain) Food: - Nuria: awesome food and really kind host when dining alone, very friendly - El Nacional tapas bar - Paradiso: rated #1 bar in the world, intimate with elaborate drinks
Posted: May 27, 2023I felt super safe in Barcelona. I stayed in the Passeig Gràcia area and it was great. I wandered by myself during the day and at night. I noticed there were plenty of police and security everywhere so even if there was a situation, I knew help was readily available.
Posted: May 25, 2023I did 4 days in Barcelona on my own between Christmas and New years and loved it. I stayed in a hostel near the center and I felt super safe. I also did a few tours. Did the Roman Amphitheatre, the Basilica, and a bike tour. I loved it.

Absolutely love this place! Felt so safe and carefree, the locals are extremely nice if you make a small effort to speak spanish! The views are beautiful! Would recommend going to the beach as it is so nice and a little cold which is perfect for a hot sunny day! Recommend it 100%!
Posted: May 19, 2023I was in Barcelona for a few days last year. I stayed at a Catalonia Born hotel (which was amazing, a bit pricy but totally worth it). I loved the Picasso Museum and highly recommend a visit. I went on a winery and cava tour about an hour outside of Barcelona which was awesome.
Posted: May 17, 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: May 13, 2023I fell in love with the city on the very first night, met so many great people and had meaningful conversations. Going a little bit away from the city center the food was cheap and delicious, drinks too. I felt safe most of the time, just watch out for the pickpockets. Art in the city is ever present and art galleries can be found on every corner, i got soo much inspiration and met great artists.
Posted: May 9, 2023I went to Barcelona last month and loved it. I stayed in a hotel in Las Ramblas, an area known for pickpockets, but I didn't feel unsafe. I kept my valuables in a bum bag that I used as a cross-body bag. The hotel location was amazing and the majority of the attractions were within walking distance. It had a subway station 2 min away and plenty of bus stops around, and it was very easy to use public transport.
