🚕 Getting around Barcelona
Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) is about 13 km from the centre; the Aerobús reaches Plaça Catalunya in around 35 minutes, the Rodalies R2 Nord train links to Sants and Passeig de Gràcia, and Metro line L9 Sud connects to the wider network. In town the Metro is efficient, and the 10-trip T-casual card is the cheapest way to ride.
🏨 Where to stay in Barcelona
- Barri Gòtic — The medieval old town: narrow lanes, the cathedral and charming squares.
- El Born — Trendy quarter with tapas bars, the Picasso Museum and plenty of buzz.
- Eixample — Wide grid avenues, Gaudí’s Modernisme and the Sagrada Família.
- Gràcia — A former village of bohemian squares, local vibe and cosy restaurants.
💸 How much does it cost?
Barcelona is a touch pricier than Madrid, especially lodging in high season, though set-menu meals and the Metro keep daily costs reasonable. A mid-range budget runs about 90–160 USD a day excluding flights.
🛡️ Is it safe?
Barcelona is safe overall but well known for pickpockets: La Rambla, the Metro, Barceloneta and tourist areas see most petty theft. Split your cash, watch your phone, and keep an eye on your things at terraces and on the beach.
