MY Beginners guide to Barcelona

7/20/2017

Park Güell

I am so so so so incredibly in love with Barcelona! I am ready to move here tomorrow. Every building is beautiful and filled with history, the streets are wide, the people are polite, the food is absolutely delicious (especially when you can't decide on one plate- you can just order a million tapas!) they speak my favorite language, and the fashion is so me!
Barcelona is seriously everything I ever wanted in a city. My #1!

We stayed at Vincci Mae on Avinguda Diagonal. Perfect location with walking distance to most sites and SO much shopping (it's dangerous). I would only eat there if you are fine with not knowing what you are eating- I wasn't. However, I 100% recommend staying here.

RECAP
Must Do's:

Park Guell
Walk around Gothic Quarter
Barcelona Cathedral
Shop on Passeig de Gracia
Check out the crowded Barcelona beaches
Tour inside Casa Batlo

Note:

Do not take the site-seeing bus tour. It is not worth is when you can walk or take a $2-$3 bus anywhere in the city!
You have to wear something that covers your shoulders to Barcelona Cathedral and nothing short!

Where to Stay: Vincci Mae on Avinguda Diagonal or Passeig de Garcia.
Where to Eat:

Brunches and Cake (for breakfast, lunch, or Brunch!)
Cheri (for lunch or dinner)

Palau Nacional

Getting Around
I personally loved walking to most places. A lot of sites are close to each other and every corner we turned we found another beautiful site! Metro & Buses are easy to navigate in Barcelona
What I Found Easiest
To Barceloneta (beach area) - Metro
To Park Güell - Bus
To Barcelona Cathedral - Walk down Passeig de Gracia & through Gothic Quarter
