Shops have long opening hours, from 10am to 2pm and from 4.30 to 8 or 8.30pm. In Barcelona city centre, most shops don’t close at lunchtime and large shopping centres and department stores open until 10pm all year around.

With regard to prices, Barcelona features a wide range of accommodation, shops and services to suit all pockets. Here are some approximate prices in Barcelona: a single public transport ticket costs €1.45, an espresso coffee between €1 and €1.50; a lunchtime set menu could cost between €8 and €15, a cinema ticket €7.40; a sandwich €2 to €3.50, and a newspaper about €1.20.

17/05/11


TIP: If you are making your way to Barcelona Airport, make sure that you take the right Aerobus. It is important to remember that both Aerobuses for Terminal 1 and for Terminal 2 stop at the same bus stops in the city centre. (e.g. Plaça Catalunya) The Aerobus directed to Terminal 1 is light blue and dark blue. The bus leading to Terminal 2 is dark blue and yellow.

The T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus (the express bus service to the airport)

It is possible to buy a T10 for each of the other 6 zones however to see most of the Barcelona attractions and the city centre you only need a T10 (Zone 1).

A T10 costs only €7,85 and will save you the trouble of buying individual tickets for each journey as well as saving you money. A normal single journey ticket will cost you 1.45 € so with a T10 you save 6.65 € each 10 journeys!

T10 could be shared with other members of your group. Note to use the T10 for each person you have to put the card in the machine and then pull it out completely from the ticket validation machine - this will release the turnstile to allow you through. Leave the card on the machine for the next member of your group to use the T10. Each time someone in your group uses the T10 it counts as a separate journey.

Please make sure you keep the ticket with you up to the time you leave the station as it will be requested to exit both of the stations.

You could buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the RENFE train station entrance.

TOP-Things to do in Barcelona

WHERE TO GO DURING THE DAYRamble down colourful La Rambla

One of the most famous boulevards in the world, La Rambla is worth a stroll down even if you only have one day in Barcelona. A gateway to rural Catalonia, the mile-long road bustles with tourists, artists, human statues, fortune-tellers, dancers and musicians. Vibrant flower stalls, a cultural and exhibition centre, the superb La Boqueria market, a Joan Miró mosaic, newspaper kiosks and cafés line the street. You may pay a fortune to sip a cola at a roadside café but the people-watching opportunities will be worth the price.

Get up close to Gaudí’s grand designs

In Barcelona, you could gaze in wonder at Gaudí’s fairytale architecture. The Sagrada Familia is breathtaking and grotesque by turns. At first glance, it seems as though a careless giant has dripped melting wax over a Gothic cathedral, but a closer look reveals that the protuberances create a stone tapestry of Christ’s life. Take the lift to the top for a breathtaking view. Park Güell is a magical place that emulates an English garden city. After seeing the gatehouses, based on designs for the opera Hansel and Gretel, you could walk up a splendid staircase, past a mosaic lizard to what once was a marketplace. Outside, climb to the heights of the park to gaze down at the magnificent panorama.

Climb up the magical Montjuïic

Montjuïic is perfect for a leafy stroll with great views, but hard to reach so is less populated by tourists. Scattered across the landward side are buildings from the 1992 Olympic Games, including Santiago Calatrava’s Olympic needle, while facing the sea is the lighthouse and vast cemetery. Energetic visitors could climb to the top of the hill, which is just a short distance from the Olympic stadium and Jardí Botànic (garden). The Plaça Espanya provides the most popular access to the park. Here, you could visit the Pavelló Mies van der Rohe and cultural centre Caixa Forum.


17/05/11


Walk on the art side

In Barcelona, a walk in the park is not just a relaxing experience but an artistic journey as well. Stroll round the leafy gardens of the Teatre Grec and then head to the Fundació Joan Miró, one of the greatest museums in the world. It’s home to a collection of over 225 paintings, 150 sculptures and graphic pieces by the Spanish surrealist artist, along with a number of works by his contemporaries. Wander over to the Jardins Laribal, meticulously designed by the French landscape artist Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier. Don’t miss the Tres Pins nursery, where plants are grown for the city’s municipal parks and gardens, or forget to tip your hat to the bronze statue of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the Plaça Dante Alighieri.

Revel in the Raval

Like Paris, Barcelona has a literary flavour. In this city, many writers have been inspired by the lower Raval, generally referred to as the Barrio Chino, a name coined by an American journalist due to its underworld feel in the 1920s. Haunted by drifters and prostitutes, the seedy ghetto forms a strangely glamorous setting for Jean Genet’s existential novel The Thief’s Journal (1949) and provides the backdrop for the civil war novel The Palace (1962) by Nobel prize-winner Claude Simon and The Margin by André Pieyre de Mandiargues (1967), which was made into a film. For a bite of tapas, visit Els Tres Tombs, a favourite with the Sunday book market scavengers. You could browse through books at the cosy bar of Café de les Delicies and catch a poetry reading at The Quiet Man.

Be a model photographer

Barcelona is a picturesque place, so even if you’re new to the art of photography, the city still manages to look good. Some scenes, of course, are more photogenic than others. To spot a few, wander through Almacenes del Pilar. Here, you’ll find a glorious array of fabrics and accessories for traditional Spanish costumes on display in a Bohemian interior dating back to 1886. For mouth-watering photographs, head to the city’s most central food market and gourmand’s pilgrimage La Boqueria along La Rambla, where you’ll discover layers of fruit and veg, olives and herbs in full colour. I bet you could find also Mangosteen fruit! For a bird’s eye view, ascend the Torre de Collserola, Norman Foster’s galactic communications tower.

Perfect your path to heaven

Even if you’re not religious, you should visit the magnificent churches of Barcelona. The Sant Pau del Camp is a rare example of Romanesque architecture, with a fantastical facade and extraordinary cloister. The graceful basilica of the Santa Maria del Mar is perhaps the best surviving example of Catalan Gothic, and makes a great place to go for a classical concert. And the holy architecture of Sagrada Familia will lift your heart to the heavens. Take your time to explore these beautiful buildings, you might even become a believer.

Marvel at Modernista architecture

Barcelona’s love of Modernista has been a passionate affair and the evidence is scattered across the city. In the Dreta area of Eixample, there are some masterpieces. The fairest of them is Gaudí’s luminous Casa Batlló, built for textile tycoon. Nearby, you could gaze at his rivals’ architecture: the shiny Casa Amatller by Puig i Cadafalch, and the decadent Casa Lleó Morera (on the corner of C/Consell de Cent at No.35) by Domènech i Muntaner. Nearby, you’ll find his Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, whose city gardens offer a pleasant oasis amid the bustling city. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has 20 pavilions.

WHERE TO GO AT NIGHTHit a high note in concert

Barcelona has its fair share of live music venues, such as Razzmatazz and Bikini. But there are also marvellous concert halls. The Gran Teatre del Liceu is a splendid place, decorated by gold leaf, plush red carpets and ornate carvings. L’Auditori is a sleek 2,400-seater venue that covers not only classical but also jazz and world music. The Palau de la Música Catalana is celebrated for its Modernista architecture, and sheer volume of musical activity. There are a cluster of music festivals, ranging from the pop-infused Primavera Sound to the Festival Internacional de Jazz de Barcelona.


17/05/11


Fuente de MonjuicThe Magic Fountain is the main feature of the collection of waterfalls and ponds on Avinguda Maria Cristina, which stretches from the Palau Nacional to Plaça Espanya in Montjuïc. This is a spectacular fountain which is very popular because of its water arrangements, sound and lighting. 2,600 litres of water are pumped through this great fountain per second in three concentric pools which have a water recirculation system.

Metro: Placa Espanya (Green Line, L3) and (Red Line, L1)

Operating hours from 30th April to 30th September: Thursday to Sunday, 9pm – 11:30pm Musical displays: 9pm, 9:30pm, 10pm, 10:30pm and 11pm

Enjoy a drink at a trendy Lounge club

If you have heard about Barcelona’s nightlife try one of the many hip lounge clubs in the city. See celebrities at Carpe Diem Lounge Club or enjoy a cocktail at Shoko or Sotavento Lounge Bar down at the beach promenade of Vila Olimpica. The Bar Eclipse on the top floor of Hotel W has become a trendy place to see and be seen. Elegant dressing code is a must and door-selection can be very strict as they are very selective places.

Have a passionate flamenco fling

A trip to Barcelona calls for a fling with flamenco. Of course, many of us are not graced with dancing skills, but that doesn’t stop you being a spectator of the traditional Spanish dance form. Head to El Tablao de Carmen, where established stars and new talent display a vibrant spectrum of flamenco singing, dancing and music. Los Tarantos in Plaça Reial has become a popular tourist hangout, but the acts still turn heads. For vanguard performances, see the Festival de Flamenco de Ciutat Vella in May.

WHERE TO BUYFill your suitcase with local clothes

Style comes with all kinds of price tags in Barcelona. High street shoppers will easily recognise the Spanish labels Mango and Zara, but fashionistas should check out Custo Barcelona for its trademark, bright T-shirts, and MTX Barcelona for its restructured womenswear. These are not cheap, but they are certainly designer originals. Those with a yen for footwear should spring to the Mallorca-based eco shoe company, Camper, which is famous for its clog heels and bowling shoe classics.

Bag some designer bargains

If you’re a dedicated designer bargain-hunter, make the 30-minute pilgrimage just outside the city to La Roca Village (93 842 39 39, www.larocavillage.com). More than 50 discount outlets will tempt you with designer apparel from popular brands such as Antonio Miró, Versace, Diesel and Camper.

WHERE TO EATSPANISH TAPAS:

The best place to get a chilled fruit sangria in Barcelona is one of the many outdoor bars and cafés. The Bar Colombo is a little tapas bar with a sunny terrace overlooking the port, while the Australian-run Bar Kasparo offers outdoor seating beneath shady arcades overlooking an a playground for children. Another option is the Casa Paco, a friendly hole-in-the-wall with a terrace on which to relax. There are also a number of bustling cafés with terraces along La Rambla.

Picking on pintxos, platters of bite-sized food served on bread (a version of tapas from the north of Spain), is a popular culinary trend in Barcelona. Tradition calls for you to pick at the food with cocktail sticks, and at the end of the night you will be charged for the number of cocktail sticks you have. The Old Town Basque house Euskal Etxea invites you to savour dainty little croissants filled with jamón serrano, chicken tempura with saffron mayonnaise, melted provolone with mango and ham, or a mini-brochette of pork.


17/05/11


CATALAN COOKING:

For a taste of Catalan cooking, visit the Cinc Sentits, which is creating quite a stir in Barcelona gastronomic circles. Talented Canadian-Catalan chef Jordi Artal shows respect for local classics (flat coca bread with foie gras and crispy leeks, duck magret with apple), while adding a personal touch in Spanish dishes such as a Palamós prawn in ajoblanco (garlic soup). with cherries and an ice-cream made from their stones. To finish, save room for the artisanal Catalan cheeses or the ‘false egg’ with white chocolate around a passion fruit yolk. ‘’Cinc Sentits’’ (five senses) has finally been acknowledged by the Michelin Guide with a star, but this is still one of the more affordable of the city’s top-end restaurants.

SEA FOOD:No one leaves Barcelona without delighting an oyster. The city toasts the fine Galician restaurant Botafumeiro in Gràcia for its fantastic assortment of seafood, served by impeccably dressed waiters against a backdrop of nautical motives. Keep in mind prices could be higher than expected as quality is very good. Cal Pep in the Born is known for its trifásico, a mélange of fried whitebait, squid rings and shrimps, and exquisite little tallarines (wedge clams). The Barceloneta restaurant Can Ramonet displays a spectacular haul of fresh seafood every day, which is likely to tempt you if you’re piscatorially inclined.

SWEETS:

Barcelona is the perfect place to indulge in sweet treats. You’ll be spoilt for choice with its selection of confectionery shops. For posh chocolates in fancy packaging, head to Escribà; and for cooked candy visit Papabubble, where you could see the sweets being rolled in front of your eyes. If you’re over in Spain during the winter and fancy a hot chocolate, stop by the milk bar La Granja. Handsomely fitted with antiques, it serves thick and frothy cocoa, which will warm you up.

You can pick four types of restaurants and bars: Tapas Restaurants, Nouvelle Cuisine, Traditional Cuisine, Beers and drinks
