Barcelona is notorious for street theft so watch your belongings and don't flash the cash

Hope you have a good time tho!

Sure you don't mean referring?

 

I think you're the one that needs to "get with it lad".

Hi

I lived in Barcelona for a year and still didn't see all there is to see there. It is a fab city.

 

My hihlights would be

Parc Guell - Gaudi's beautiful gardens overlooking the city, a short bus ride away in the outskirts.

Sagrada Familia - Gaudi's impressive cathedral, not far from Parc Guell so could combine the two.

 

Mont Juic - start in the Plaza Espanya, take in the Museu Nacional Art de Catalunya and the Castell de Montjuic futher up the hill is really peaceful and offers great views.

 

MACBA - the modern Art Museum two minutes from the Ramblas/Placa Catalunya is a great building.

 

a walk up and down the Passeig de Gracia and Rambla Catalunya you'll see alot of designer shops and impressive architecture - Casa Battlo and La Pedrera both well worth a visit.

 

For eating I would head to the neighbourhood known as El Born right of the Barri Gotic, not as expensive as the main tourist drags and some great restaurants.

 

A walk aroung the neighborhood Gracia is very nice. Few tourists and a very nice area, alot of arty bohemian types.

 

That should be enogh for 3 days!

There's a first time for everything. I don't think I 've ever heard anyone say they didn't like Barcelona before. I've been several times and never ever noticed a smell.

 

there is just so much to do and see you can't fail to enjoy it. Have a great time. (Get a bus or taxi to Parc Guell cos its all uphill from town)

 

 

Oh I loved Barcelona, lived there for a year though i must admit it does stink. When you walk around the corner (10seconds from Las Ramblas) and see a prostitute having a poo behind the bins you know what sort of city you're in!

 

It is also very dirty, the dirtiest city I have been to in europe.

 

Great city though!

I'd go back tomorrow, for good if I could!

Energy, people from all over the world living together creates such a vibrant mix. Definitely the jewel of Europe

Tibidabo, that's all I have to say.

 

One of the most jaw dropping views I have ever seen. Bit of a mission getting there, but really worth the effort. I didn't want to leave. It's like looking at a map of Barcelona in front of you.

 

Have to agree with that one. Sat for ages just watching the wild cats. Barcelona is a stunning city. Loved every bit and will be going again. Try to get to the Market just Off La Ramblas, thats also where the Lady/Ladyboys hang out too.

The one and only time I went to Barcelona, me and a few shipmates were ripped off in a bar for near on £30, and surrounded by the bouncers until we paid up. £30 in the mid 70's was a lot of folding paper, so my memories of the place are not too pleasant.
