The outstanding site to see was La Sagrada Familia.
March 22, 2019
The outstanding site to see was La Sagrada Familia. It was impressive and so were many other attractions in the city. I stayed near it the first couple of days before moving to another hotel in the city to experience another area. There were many good restaurants with a wide variety of foods to choose. The Metro was easy to use with a multi day pass. The only thing I would warn any traveler is to watch out for pick pockets. My friend had her mobile phone stolen during rush hour on the Metro on the way to the airport.

It is very easy to travel within Barcelona (even with a stroller) as there are many ways of transportation. Bathrooms are kept clean and its easy to find your way around. I would say 4 days are sufficient to go around Barcelona. Many choices of food also for the budget traveller.

Barcelona is a very accommodating, clean, friendly, beautiful, artistic, cultural and exciting city. The people are warm and genuine, there is a lot to do from visiting the beach, nature, art, architecture, food, wine, shopping, history, etc. something for everyone. Barcelona is a very easy city to get around via Metro, buses, rental bikes, taxis, etc. I highly recommend staying in the Barri Gòtic area. Walking is easy and fun.

Loved walking on Las Ramblas with all of the shoppes and restaurants. Beautiful architecture and parks and waterfront. American dollars not accepted anywhere,Only Euros. City was very clean. Some of staff and cab drivers did not speak English at all, but not many. Great food! Easy to get around .
We love the beauty of Barcelona.
March 20, 2019
We love the beauty of Barcelona. If there is any drawback, it is the snatchers/pickpocketers that roam La Rambla, and nearby metros. Law enforcements should focus on them. You can easily pinpoint them as they just hang around La Rambla in at least 2-person group or more.
Loved Barcelona!
March 20, 2019
Loved Barcelona! There was so much to see and do for our whole family (two adults plus 3 boys- ages 11, 15 and 17). Favorite places were Montjuic Castell (private tour) , Barcelona Cathedral, La Sagrada Familia (tour), La Boqueria Market, Gothic Quarter (charming), Parc de la Ciutidad, Art Museum in Montjuic (Museu Nacional D'Art de Catalunya). Least favorite for all was Las Ramblas- crowded, just boring restaurants & shops. Nothing special! There are some side streets off main drag of Las Ramblas with interesting stores & restaurants though. Parc Guell & Picasso Museum were ok, but needed to be seen once. Restaurants were great- delicious food. Many meals came with beer/wine & dessert or several courses. Every meal but 2 were great. We ate in Gothic Quarter and near our hotel and near Las Ramblas. Outdoor restaurants were charming & everywhere. We ate 60% of our meals outdoors (in February). We used the metro for most of the trip. Easy to navigate but changing from one line to another required a lot of walking. Metro is very clean. Used a cab a couple times (to get to Montjuic). Barcelona is beautiful, clean, charming and there is lots to see! There is a lot of walking everywhere in Barcelona!!! Would definitely go back. Whole family loved the trip.
