Tips to a great trip every time

Here at Barcelona Budget, we know how it can be challenging to include everything you want to see and do in your short trip; however, we have a few suggestions that might help:



Tip #1: Plan ahead

You definitely do not want to do this trip on the fly—there is way too much at stake. There is so much to do and see that you are going to want to make a plan to incorporate each of your priorities. You might find it helpful to group similar or nearby attractions together.

Maybe you’d like to devote day one to guided tours, day two to architectural sights, day three to the beach (there are nine beaches to choose from), day four to museums and the aquarium, and day five to shopping at La Rambla—but don’t forget to check out Barcelona’s uniquely happening nightlife and maybe even a football game, too.



Planning closely situated attractions can help you make the most of your time in Barcelona; but do not forget to be flexible, too. If the weather is not perfect for your beach day, maybe switch it for your museum and aquarium exploration instead. And, remember to keep some time open for the unexpected treasures you might bump into.



Tip #2: Make the most of your time

Don’t waste too much time on unnecessary travel. Make sure your hotel is close to most of the sightseeing you would like to do while you are in Barcelona; that way you will not be wasting too many hours of your trip driving from place to place.



You might also want to consider incorporating part of the transportation into a convenient sightseeing tour. With Bus Turístic you can move from point A to point B and see some interesting sights along the way.

You can get on and off at your own leisure, and Bus Turístic stops at 44 different places of interest. Plus, you don’t have to do the whole tour in a day; your ticket remains valid for up to 2 days.



Tip #3: Don’t sweat it

If you don’t get a chance to do or see everything you want on this trip, it just makes a very good excuse to come back to Barcelona again next year.



Planning the perfect holiday can seem challenging, but remember that you have an abundance of resources available to help you plan all the details. Here, at Barcelona Budget we can help you pick out the kind of sightseeing that will suit you best, and we can help you find the best deals on every aspect of your holiday so you can afford to.
