Barcelona travel FAQs

Is Barcelona safe for solo travellers?

Barcelona is a safe and welcoming city for solo travellers. The one thing to stay sharp about is pickpocketing in tourist areas, on La Rambla and on the metro. Keep bags zipped and phones away in crowds and you will be fine.

How much does Barcelona cost on a budget?

Barcelona costs more than Southeast Asia but is doable on a budget. The menú del día at lunch, the metro and free viewpoints keep spending down. Book paid attractions ahead and use code ALLCHECKEDIN5 for 5% off on GetYourGuide.

How do I get around Barcelona?

The metro is fast and covers the whole city, and a multi-trip ticket saves money. The centre is very walkable, and buses fill in the gaps. You rarely need a taxi.
