Top spots for Barcelona + extra tours
Viva Barcelona!!! The ultimate city break with a direct flight is Barcelona. You will need at least 3-4 nights to see this magical city with Antoni Gaudi's architecture leaving its mark on every corner of the city. The city is famous for its Mediterranean temperament in the character of the Catalans, the wonderful tapas, the imposing buildings and, of course, for football fans, the home of Barcelona!
Look for budget hotels on the outskirts of the city connected by metro, you will find more value for money options.
Although the city has an integrated metro-tram-bus network, we would suggest walking it starting from the most central pedestrian street, La rambla!
For your transfer from the airport to the city center you will find the Aerobus that connects both terminals with the center (cost €5.90), as well as the local RENFE train (cost €4.50/one way)
