Thanks for some really great information. I visit a lot of restaurants for my work but is still difficult to get good opinions in certain regions and on certain recipes. Sarah M.

Buy the Barcelona City Card for small discounts and unlimited bus and metro passes. If it’s your first time in Barcelona, I’d recommend what the guide books tell you in terms of attractions: Sagrada Familia and Catedral are both under construction but we paid the entrance fees anyway to see the view from the top. Sagrada especially doesn’t look like it will be done during our lifetimes so it’s worth going up anyway. If it’s nice out, Park Guell is a nice little hike. (I didn’t make it to Montserrat or Costa Brava.) I hope you like Gaudi more than I do! For the other museums, we just stood outside and took photos. Contemporary Art was in the middle of moving exhibits so we couldn’t go in. El Born was one of my favorite neighborhoods and although sketchy and most people told us not to go, we walked around the old Chinatown.

Sounds like you had an amazing time! :D I’m headed to Barcelona in 2 weeks and will be staying at Hostal Goya as well. Do you have any other recommendations for things to do in Barcelona? I’m definitely headed to Cal Pep and Boqueria but would love to have a more extensive list of places to hit.
