Barcelona travel guide

Architecture

Start your first day with the Sagrada Familia. Entry costs between €26 and €60 per person, though you can view the building from the outside for free. From there, it takes 15 minutes to reach Casa Batlló via metro and walking. Tickets for Casa Batlló range from €26 to €60 CAD per person. Finish your architectural tour at La Pedrera, which is a 10 minute walk from Casa Batlló. Entry starts from €34 per person, and you should plan for the visit to take between 1.5 and 2 hours.

The old city

Spend your second day exploring the Gothic Quarter, which typically requires 2.5 to 3 hours to see properly. You can also walk through La Rambla and visit Park Güell.

Coast and views

On your third day, head to the coast to visit Barceloneta. Complete your trip by visiting Montjuïc and the Magic Fountain.

Local dining

A traditional Barcelona breakfast costs between €6 and €25. If you are visiting in winter, try churros con chocolate on Petrixol Street. In the summer, use La Boqueria Market for tostadas and fruit smoothies. For those who prefer a stronger coffee, Nomad Coffee Bar is a good option.

When ordering paella, be aware that a real dish takes at least 20 minutes to cook. You should avoid paella restaurants located near Las Ramblas because they are tourist traps. A paella dinner typically costs between €25 and €75 per person. For reliable options, try Amar Barcelona, Can Boneta, Lasarte, or Bodega Joan.
