Barcelona Travel Guide

Barcelona is first and foremost the capital of Catalonia, a proudly autonomous region that periodically attempts to break up with Spain. You’ll hear Catalan in the streets, and find the work of hometown icons like Miró and Gaudí in museums and along the Passeig de Gràcia. It can be a late-night party town, but Barcelona still nails a tranquil sort of time travel, as you walk the lanes of its Gothic quarter or sip a cava with a saucer of anchovies in an old-school pintxos bar.

Barcelona travel guide video.

Cultured yet trendy, Barcelona is one of Europe’s great cities. The Mediterranean Sea is just minutes from the center, its streets are filled with Modernist and Gothic treasures and the food is simply divine. Shop in bustling markets, take a stroll through the old city, stay up late and party with the locals and visit one of the city’s many world-class museums and galleries.

Be wowed by Barcelona’s eye-catching collection of architecture. Start in La Rambla, the famous tree-lined pedestrian street, which features flower stalls, sidewalk cafés, creative buskers and interesting shops, before delving in to the labyrinthine alleys of the Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter). Among the 14th-century buildings sit treasures such as the spectacular Santa Maria del Mar Church and the grand Barcelona Cathedral, where gargoyles peer down from the ornate façade.

Spend some time in the Museu d'Història de Barcelona. Its exhibits bring to life the city’s long history. The impressive building is located on Plaça del Rei, where concerts are often held.

It is impossible not to notice the artistry visible in Barcelona’s public spaces. Gaudí, Picasso and Miró have left their indelible marks on the Catalan capital in monuments including the fantastical twisting turrets of La Sagrada Familia cathedral and the fantastical modernist sculptures and mosaics adorning Park Güell. Barcelona-born Joan Miró is honored in the Fundació Joan Miró while Picasso’s works are on display at the Museu Picasso.

To enjoy Barcelona’s nightlife like a true local, don’t even consider going out until midnight. Start with a late dinner in one of the city’s fabulous restaurants. Opt for acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants or venture into El Born to find tiny tapas bars heaving with hip locals. Discover everything from jazz venues to nightclubs pumping out techno, or sip cocktails in alfrescobars.

Barcelona is one of Europe’s aviation hubs and welcomes flights from around the world. Explore the city on foot to really soak up the architecture and get to know the locals. Among the best places to people-watch are at the city’s busy markets such as La Boqueria.

Such an artistic city with so much art visible on the streets. Had to do a bit more research to find the good food places but definitely worth a visit.

The gothic quarter was lovely. The rest of the city was like any other big city in the world

As a person with breathing problems, it was hard to breathe as it smelled like smoke and cigarettes. Sagrada Familia is a must go and I enjoyed having lots of paellas. Be careful of pickpockets and driver's- they are scary.

Essential tips for saving big on summer travel this year

Expedia shares a cheat sheet to save on your summer plans

Summer travel season is shaping up to be a busy one, so now is the time to start planning if you haven’t already. There is indeed a sweet spot for saving on summer travel—a brief window of opportunity where you can save on flights to some of the hottest destinations. Expedia just released its annual Summer Travel Outlook, revealing this summer’s trending travel spots along with a cheat sheet to help you plan wisely for your summer travels.

Searches for summer travel are up since last year, according to Expedia’s data, with major cities like London and New York topping the list of inquiries alongside beach destinations like Cancun and Honolulu. Searches for Paris and surrounding areas are up more than 200% as travelers are eager to experience this summer’s Olympics. These numbers might have you facing surging flight prices as well, but fortunately, Expedia has shared crucial tips to ensure you get the best deal when making your summer travel plans. Say hello to Expedia’s Summer Travel Cheat Sheet.

Advance planning is the first crucial tip. Be sure to book summer flights 21 to 60 days in advance, and you can save 15%. The day you fly is important too: to save the most, fly on a Tuesday for domestic destinations, Monday for international. Skip travel for the Fourth of July week in favor of a trip in late August to save up to $140. Worried about cancellations messing with your plans? Early flights (before 3pm) are less likely to be canceled. Finally, Expedia recommends bundling flights, hotel and car rentals through their platform to save hundreds.

“The sweet spot for booking your summer trip is right around the corner, but there’s still a bit of time to figure out your vacation plans and lock in those flights at a great rate,” says Melanie Fish, head of Expedia Group Brands public relations. “The cheat sheet is easy this year—book one to two months out and save around 15%, whether you’re taking the family to the beach in Florida or summering in Paris.”

Check out the full Summer Travel Outlook for more trends and tips to make the most of your summer travel plans.
