Creator's Key Takeaways

We're showing you our tried and tested walking tour that lets you see the best of this vibrant city.

Based on multiple visits, including by cruise ship, we've designed a practical tour that ensures you see Barcelona's best without wasting precious time.

Barcelona, particularly Laambla, has a reputation for pickpockets and mobile phone theft. Keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings just as you would in any major city.

The tour is optimized for cruise passengers, but it is also ideal for any visitor who has only got a few hours to spare in the city.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Take the bus to the World Trade Center stop instead of walking into the city.
✓Use Google Maps for directions in Barcelona.
✓Keep valuables secure in La Rambla due to pickpockets.
✓Buy a metro ticket to cover the funicular ride to Park Güell.
✓Walk to the viewpoint at Park Güell instead of taking the cable car to save money.
