"There was a lot to do and we had fun every day."
Review by Katerina Toulatos from Richboro, PA, USA who visited the city in July 2006 as a single leisure traveller.
The best part:
Every experience was different and all were wonderful.
The worst part:
The overpriced restaurants on the Rambla, which is where we stayed. The food was horrible and the bill was ridiculous. Also, many of the people who worked in gift shops and/or musuem shops were so rude without reason. Finally, my suitcase was stuck in Barcelona for four days! It caused me lots of stress for my next trip which was scheduled for the next week.
The best attraction:
Gaudi buildings and the Picasso Museum
The best restaurant:
Pans...it was fast food but it tasted great every time.
The best cafe:
Sunset |

When returning from the clubs at night the management/staff was always very mindful of our safety. This meant a lot to us and we thank them! |

"Very very pleasant. What I learn lately that there are 2 group of people: the one, who loves this city and the other is indifferent to it. We definitely love it."
Review by Irina from Cleveland, Ohio USA who visited the city in March 2005 with a family group.
The best part:
Barcelona itself. All Buildings, not only Gaudi's;
La Ramble;The Montserrat- the best memories;
Mountains;The weather;the whole atmosphere of the city.
The worst part:
I'd not call it worth but least likable, perhaps were: disappointment with visiting Gaudi's casa, it didn't worth money spend, outside look was much more fulfilling; Spanish Village also, in my opinion, should be free for walking there, without paying for entrance.
The best attraction:
The Montserrat
The worst attraction:
visiting Gaudi's casa Botterello
The best restaurant:
La Fonda
The worst restaurant:
Small place with tapas close tothe port, don't remember the name but it was increadable expensive and tappas were horroble.
The best cafe:
Didn't go much to night clubs, it was more family vacation but loved all small cafes in the town we stopped and had coffee de caleche and serveze, especialy the one where we paid 5 euro for 4 of us for coffee & beer:) |
