"The best thing to do in Barcelona is a walking tour! @BariGotic, La Ramblas, Eixample, by the sea coast, etc. Lovely city with warm people. I enjoyed the Tapas."
Caroline Tennyson
"After a ramble down La Rambla's and some tasty paella, a magnificent stroll all down the Gothic Quarter and hopping on and off the metro checking out the magnificent buildings like the Sagrada Familia, Santa Maria Del Mar and ending the evening with some more scrumptious food and a delightful show at the magic fountain of Montjuic blissful. Oh and no trip to Barca is complete without catching at Barca soccer match, what an experience"
Laa Mi
"Rent a bike and explore the city from the beach till the mountain while admiring the Gaudi's architecture"
Jayantraj Bhagyawant
"Be at Catalunya and walk to the beach through La rambla. Get lost. And never come back. I walked 33 km in a day last year. I thought I would die when I will come back to St. C's Inn, but on the contrary, that was the most epic night of my life. #LastYearOctober#StChristopher'sInn #Belushis #Catalunya"

Morgan Mary Partridge
"Seeing all of Gaudi's unusual and designed buildings, each so beautiful and unique. A must to-do! Will really open your eyes to all the creativity in the world"
Dave Dlaw Lawrence
"Walk from St Christopher's down the famous La Rambla to La Boqueria market. Get some fresh juice and breakfast to start the day then head to the nearest metro (Liceu) on La Rambla and get a T10 ticket for 10euro. The ticket gives you 10 trips. Head up towards Parc Güell and have a nice stroll around.
Get the metro again and check out the enchanting Barri Gotic with its Cathedral and winding streets filled with real history.
At the end of the afternoon get the metro back to St Christopher's for a Belushi's burger and beer. Finally get the metro along Gran Vía to Placa España to check out the beautiful magic fountains in all their glory."
