Barcelona Short Guide

What everyone needs to know before visiting this Great City.

Transport From The Airports  International airport,  is linked by train every 30min (costs €2.25) to the main train station, Barcelona Sants, from where you can take the metro to the city centre (line #3 to Liceu for the Ramblas).  Alternatively, the Airbus runs every 12min and €3.60 runs to Plaça d'Espanya, Gran Vía de les Corts Catalanes and Plaça de Catalunya. A taxi from the airport to the city centre will cost around €22. Private airport transfers also available.

Sightseeing  Unlike other European cities, Barcelona's main sights are fairly scattered. However, the old town of Barcelona can easily be explored on foot. La Rablas and El Raval, Barri Gotic, La Ribera, Port Vell, Barceloneta, Port Olimpic, Sagrada Familia and Montjuic soe of the few areas should be explored.

Transport Around Town The public transport is excellent and taxis are easily available. Buses run along most city routes every few minutes, and there's a tourist bus that covers two circuits of major sites.  A green light on the roof means the taxi is for hire. The metro is the easiest way to get around most of the city but you didn't travel thousands of miles to be underground.
Few Good points Be aware as lots of places will be closed on Sundays and the month of August. Try not to go out to dinner too early especially  in summer months.

Eating  With more than ten thousand places to eat, Barcelona boasts a huge variety of restaurants, and even low-budget travellers can eat well. Barcelona's nightlife is some of Europe's most exciting. For in depth events and listing on what's on in Barcelona visit www.guiadelociobcn.com .
