- Don’t be a classic tourist, Barcelonians hate tourists. Be an explorer, a traveler and respect the locals.
- Beachwear (swimming suits, bikinis, etc) are for the beach and the coastal promenades. They’re not welcome in the city streets.
- If you come in summer, it might be better to stay in a neighboring seaside town and catch the train or bus to Barcelona.
- Get the Barcelona Express Card to enjoy discounts in museums, restaurants, tapas bars and use the public transport system for free.
- If it is your fist visit to the city, book a tour or two to get to know it.
- Watch for pickpockets and other petty crimes. Barcelona has a reputation for having trouble with these. Take the usual precaution and avoid spending too much time in overcrowded areas such as Las Ramblas and the metro.
