Creator's Key Takeaways
Barcelona is one of the most searched cruise ports in Europe, but the information online can feel overwhelming.
I have visited Barcelona several times, including on P and Ovia and on Sky Princess, and each time I have learned something new about how this port really works.
If you are on a larger ship, assume you will dock at Adoset and plan transport into the city.
Barcelona is generally safe, but it does have a bad reputation for pickpockets, especially around Las Ramblers, metro stations, and the hop- on hop off cues.
