Tips for Visiting Barcelona

• Book Attractions in Advance: Popular tourist attractions like ‘La Sagrada Família’ and ‘Park Güell’ can sell out quickly so we suggest booking your tickets online to avoid disappointment.
• Learn Basic Catalan Phrases: While Spanish is widely spoken, locals often appreciate a "Bon dia" (Good morning) or "Gràcies" (Thank you) in Catalan.
• Peak Tourist Seasons: Spring (April-June) and early Autumn (September-October) offer milder weather and fewer crowds compared to summer.
• Beware of Pickpockets: Barcelona has a reputation for petty theft, especially in crowded areas like ‘Las Ramblas’ and public transport. So keep your belongings secure to reduce the chances.
• Try Local Cuisine: Don’t miss ‘pa amb tomàquet’ (tomato bread), ‘escalivada’ (roasted vegetables), or a ‘seafood paella’! Visit markets like ‘La Boqueria’ for fresh tapas and a wonderful atmosphere!
• Use Public Transport: Barcelona’s metro and buses are efficient and affordable. Our HOLA Barcelona Transport Card is one of our bestsellers. Click HERE for ticket details.
• Explore Beyond the Center: Venture to neighbourhoods like ‘Gràcia’ for a bohemian vibe or ‘El Poblenou’ for quieter beaches and modern architecture.
• ‍Dress Appropriately for Churches: If visiting religious sites like La Sagrada Família, wear modest clothing (no shorts or sleeveless tops) to show respect.
