Creator's Key Takeaways

I have found it a little bit tricky to navigate the streets and directions because they don't have big street signs

we were told pickpockets were an awful awful problem and everywhere we went we were scared

we still really love it I've been impressed with price sing being a little less than what I'm used to back in New York

this was a really good day in Barcelona I'm telling you we love this city

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check national holidays in advance to avoid closures
Pay in euros with a credit card that has no foreign transaction fees
Tipping is not obligatory in Europe, but appreciated for great service
Wear comfortable shoes for walking, and sundresses are perfect for the weather
Have backup plans for attractions, as some may be closed or full

YouTube Video Description

Let's compare what rumors we heard about #BarcelonaTravel, and what actually turned out to be true on our 2023 visit to #Spain to embark on our Virgin Voyages ship, the Valiant Lady. We talk tipping, Euros, pickpockets, holidays and all kinds of other tips as we take you to some top travel sites like Casa Mila (or is it La Pedrera?) and learn about Antoni Gaudi, or Sagrada Familia for the International Mass, or to the modern art museum Moco Museum. Plus, we show you how we survive a red eye flight and beat jetlag by hitting the ground running and resetting to Barcelona time. We adore spending time in Europe and come along as we take our first big international trip as a couple since we had the 3 little hungry travelers (yes, we left the kids at home!) We can't wait to take you along to every port of this amazing trip! Want to know why we eat this way? Let us introduce ourselves! https://youtu.be/D5FDKex98_s *Disclaimer: Menus change.
