Underbar park. Älskade att gå runt på egen hand och utforska.
Kom bara ihåg att ta med din egen dryck eftersom du inte kan köpa något inne i parken.

Steven vår reseguide var fantastisk. Han var superkunnig, engagerande och gjorde hela upplevelsen så mycket mer meningsfull. Man kan verkligen se att han älskar det han gör - han väckte Gaudís vision till liv på ett så roligt och intressant sätt. Denna tur slutade vara en av höjdpunkterna på vår resa till Barcelona. Rekommenderar starkt att boka med Steven om du får chansen!

Vår guide Mark var utmärkt. Han gjorde hela upplevelsen mycket värdefull.
Han samlade alla gäster till den utsedda platsen och han förklarade hela processen för turnén.
Hans tillvägagångssätt var vänligt men artigt och hans engelska var på professionell nivå.
Dessutom var den information han gav om historiska, kulturella och konstnärliga fakta om monumentet (Sagrada Famiglia) viktig, intressant och nödvändig för någon som verkligen vill dra nytta av detta monument.
Jag rekommenderar starkt en guidad tur med Mark!
Tack så mycket igen!

Getting Around in Barcelona
Your Stay in Barcelona
Itineraries
Time zone: Central European Summer Time, GMT+2Currency: Euro ( € )Language: Catalan and SpanishAverage Daily Cost: €122The subtropical climate of Barcelona is moderated by the mediterranean sea, with large fluctuations being very rare, giving it pleasant weather year-round. However, the city does experience subtle variations in temperature and humidity that give it perceptible seasons. Get to know more about the best time to visit Barcelona on a month-to-month basis.Average Yearly Temperature: 21 °C to 15 °C and 70 °F to 59 °FBarcelona in Spring
Spring is when the city starts warming up. Starting in March and ending in May, the rain in this season is more frequent than it is in summer, but nothing enough to put a damper on your plans. In Spring, the festivities are about to begin once more with Easter just around the corner.Barcelona in Summer
The summers are long and bright, starting in May and trailing through September. Surrounded by mountains, this coastal city does see its share of rainfall, so prepare for that. Though the heat can get a little intense, nothing will deter you from engaging in several festivals that take place around this time. Beachside parties, street parades, arts festivals, and outdoor concerts are spontaneous in this season.Barcelona in Autumn
This is possibly the rainiest time of year. It is also when temperatures begin to gradually decrease. This is also the time when it’s least likely to be flooded with tourists, so you can explore attractions in the city at your leisure and get some good offers on sightseeing too.Barcelona in Winter
The winters in Barcelona are mild and dry with January and February being the coldest months of the year. It rarely records below-freezing temperatures but does occasionally have frost. This is when the Christmas and New Years celebrations break out with amazing sales offers. So wrap yourself up in a warm sweater and enjoy the wintery outdoors.Visa requirements in Barcelona
Barcelona is situated in Spain. Therefore, citizens of European Union countries (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) do not need a visa to enter the country. The following countries also do not require a visa to enter: Albania, Antigua And Barbuda, Argentina, Australia, Andorra, Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, El Salvador, North Macedonia, Georgia, Grenada, Guatemala, Holy See, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Kiribati, Malaysia, Mauritius, Marshall Islands, Mexico, Micronesia, Monaco, Moldova, Montenegro, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Panama, Palau, Paraguay, Peru, Samoa, San Marino, Seychelles, Serbia, Solomon Islands, Saint Kitts and Nevis, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Ukraine, United States, Uruguay, United Kingdom, and Venezuela.If you are not a national of any of the above countries, you will need to apply for a Schengen Visa (also known as a C-type visa). There are different types of Schengen visas depending on the purpose and duration of your visit. You will also need to possess a valid return flight ticket or a ticket for the final country you will be traveling to.Internet Plans and SIM cards
When traveling in a different country, the internet is a lifeline. However, roaming costs while abroad can be very expensive. You may want to invest in a local SIM card to cut costs. It works out much cheaper for making calls back home and also to coordinate with people in the country. Just walk into a mobile store in Barcelona and purchase a prepaid SIM and you are ready to go. An advantage is that SIM cards from Spain also have free roaming in other countries in the EU.If you are planning to use your own phone, sometimes you may need to ‘unlock’ your phone if it is tied to a particular service provider (or carrier) to receive network coverage from an alternative service provider from within Spain.The largest mobile network provider is Movistar, followed by Orange and Vodafone. All of whom provide 4G and LTE speeds. It’s good to keep in mind that Vodafone networks are present throughout the EU if you plan on visiting other countries.Barcelona has a convenient public transport system, as well as other transport utilities that you can use to get around the Catalonian city. When you arrive at the airport, get convenient transfers to some of the main stops in the city like Plaza Catalunya with an AEROBUS Barcelona Airport Transfer. The three main ways of getting around are the subways, the trains, buses, and trams. You can use facilities like the Hola Barcelona Travel Card which offers unlimited travel in the city by metro, buses, and trams, or the Barcelona All Inclusive Card which allows you to see over 70 attractions in the city, with access to transport facilities. Let’s explore each of them.Metro
The metro is vast, consisting of 12 lines and more than 160 stations, interlinking different parts of the city. It is operated by the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FCG) and Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) and is relatively affordable. The trains run from 5 AM to 12 PM. On Saturdays and on public holidays, the metro runs the entire day!Bus
The bus system in Barcelona is perhaps the most used mode of public transport. With a fleet 10,000-strong, and 100-plus routes covering the city is sure to get you to your destination. The buses display their numbers and routes on a LED so watch for that! The buses operate between 5 AM and 8 AM to 10 AM and 11 PM.
You can also make use of the Night Bus (NitBus) which acts as a stand-in when the metros and buses close for the day. They operate between 10:40 PM and 11:40 PM to 5 AM and 6 AM. Keep in mind that Hola Barcelona cards are not accepted here, since they are operated by a private operator.Suburban Railway
The Suburban Railway, known as the Rodalies de Catalunya, caters to all your out-of-city requirements connecting you with other cities, towns, and villages in Spain. It currently comprises 17 lines, reaching 203 different stations. This is a great option for making day trips to the gorgeous mountains and valleys that surround Barcelona. It operates between 5 AM and midnight.Taxi
These hybrid yellow and black taxis are easily identifiable and will get you to your destination in a jiffy. There are several operators acting within the city but all follow the same standardized fare system, segmented into T1, T2, T3, and T4 categories. You can book cabs by calling the specific cab company or using online aggregator apps like Uber and Cabify.Tram
There’s nothing quite like viewing the city at the leisurely pace of the city tram. You should know that the Trambaix system operates in the western part of the city and Trambesos, in the eastern part. Trams are very frequent and operate between 5 AM and 2 AM. The tram stops are all fitted with machines that can dispense tickets.The city of Barcelona, relative to Western European counterparts, is much cheaper when it comes to stay and cost of living.
