Barcelona - Barcelona

Barcelona je ogroman grad s nekoliko njih okrug članci koji sadrže informacije o određenim znamenitostima, restoranima i smještaju.

Barcelona je Španjolskaje drugi po veličini grad s gotovo dva milijuna stanovnika i glavni grad Katalonija. Glavna luka na sjeveroistočnoj mediteranskoj obali Španjolske, Barcelona ima široku paletu atrakcija koje privlače turiste iz cijelog svijeta. Mnogobrojna lica Barcelone uključuju srednjovjekovni Stari grad i jedinstvenu uličnu mrežu koja je rezultat urbanog planiranja iz 19. stoljeća. Grad ima dugačke pješčane plaže i zelene parkove na brdima, prilično rame uz rame. Poznat je i po brojnim istaknutim zgradama, od kojih su najpoznatije arhitekte Antonija Gaudija, uključujući i njegovu Sagrada Família, koji je mnogima postao simbol Barcelone.

Osnovan prije više od 2000 godina kao drevni rimski grad Barcino, Barcelona je povijesna koliko i moderna, s neprekidnim tijekom projekata koji mijenjaju lice grada i dugogodišnjom sklonošću dizajnu i inovacijama. Zahvaljujući bogatstvu atrakcija, vrlo dobro razvijenoj smještajnoj bazi, živahnom noćnom životu i robusnom prometnom sustavu, Barcelona je postala jedno od europskih, i to prilično svjetskih, najpopularnijih turističkih odredišta.

Kada posjetiti

Kolovoz je vjerojatno najprometnije vrijeme za turiste u Barceloni. Međutim, mnoge su trgovine i restorani zatvoreni od početka kolovoza do početka rujna. Za to vrijeme pronaći ćete najskuplje hotelske cijene (izvan termina konferencija, poput Mobile World Congressa), a grad je bez domaćeg stanovništva, jer velika većina stanovnika odlazi na odmor u kolovozu i ostavlja vrućinu i vlagu na horde pristiglih turista. Ovo je ujedno jedno od najviših razdoblja provale u kuću, jer kriminalci znaju da su mnoga mjesta nenaseljena tijekom cijelog mjeseca.

Iako Barcelona ima pristojne, iako pretrpane plaže, domaći stanovnici bit će zahvalni ako posjetitelji ne smatraju Barcelonu odmaralištem i apsolutno ne nose odjeću za plažu prilikom posjeta crkvama, restoranima itd. Ako želite samo plažu i dobru plažu na to, krenite na jug do Costa Daurada, sjeverno do Costa Brava ili na more za Balearski otoci.

Barcelona se može posjetiti izvan sezone, a unatoč hladnom vremenu, lijep je grad čak i u zimskim mjesecima siječnju i veljači, sve dok je mogućnost kiše mala. S obzirom na visoku vlažnost zraka, 19–23 ° C (66–73 ° F) smatra se ugodnim vremenom, što je obično temperatura od svibnja do lipnja i od kraja kolovoza do listopada. Ovo su najbolja vremena za posjet gradu. Sve toplije od ovoga može se osjećati prevruće, a razdoblje od studenog do travnja prilično je prohladno i na trenutke tmurno.

S djecom

Sreća mališana u Španjolskoj se smatra javnom odgovornošću. Na bilo kojem javnom mjestu, ljudi oko vas uložit će sve napore kako bi obradovali svoje dijete: kad god mu izgleda dosadno ili plače, svi čine sve da ga zabave ili smire. Naći ćete sjajan popis stvari koje možete raditi s djecom tijekom vašeg posjeta Barceloni.

Barcelona Card

Barcelona City Pass je paket koji kombinira povlaštene karte za preskakanje linija i prijevozne karte u Barceloni. Ovaj službeni paket gradske propusnice štedi novac tijekom vaših obaveznih posjeta Barceloni.

Barcelona Card. Ova kartica omogućuje besplatan ulaz u više od 25 muzeja i drugih mjesta u Barceloni. Za više od 70 moresites nudi razne vrste popusta. Uključuje i putnu kartu za javni prijevoz u Barceloni (za detalje pogledajte Hola BCN! kartica ispod). Kartica je dostupna za kupnju tijekom razdoblja od 2 do 5 dana. Ako ne planirate svakodnevno razgledavati mnogo muzeja, možda je jeftinije kupiti karte samo za prijevoz (vidi ispod), a ako provodite puno vremena u najvećim muzejima, umjetnička putovnica u Barceloni možda je bolja vrijednost. Ova se kartica ne može koristiti na žičarama ili uspinjačama (osim za Montjuïc). Općenito, ako planirate vidjeti samo poznate znamenitosti i ne posjećujete muzeje, ova kartica ne vrijedi ni pretjeranu cijenu ni gnjavažu. Mnogo web stranica za putovanja preporučuje i promovira ove vrste kartica s popustom jer dobivaju proviziju. Za prijevoz nabavite T10. Od 20 eura za Barcelona Card Express (dvodnevni), do 60 eura za petodnevnu karticu (10% popusta ako se unaprijed kupi na mreži); dostupna je i verzija za djecu.. (ažurirano listopada 2015)

Crkva Sagrada Família Antonija Gaudija možda je najpoznatija znamenitost Barcelone

Vidi također:Katalonski rječnik, Španjolski rječnik

Službeni jezici Barcelone su katalonski i Španjolski. Otprilike polovica radije govori katalonski, velika većina ga razumije, a gotovo svi znaju španjolski. Međutim, većina znakova naznačena je samo na katalonskom jer je to zakonom utvrđeno kao prvi službeni jezik. Ipak, španjolski se također široko koristi u javnom prijevozu i drugim objektima. Redovne najave u metrou objavljuju se samo na katalonskom, ali neplanirane prekide najavljuje automatizirani sustav na širokom spektru jezika, uključujući španjolski, engleski, francuski, arapski i japanski. S druge strane, najave FGC-a - bilo redovite bilo u prekidima - bit će objavljene samo na katalonskom, a najave o prekidima na mreži RENFE obično će se emitirati samo na španjolskom. Kao i u većini drugih gradova, uvijek se cijeni svaki pokušaj posjetitelja da se posluže materinjim jezicima. Većina mještana dvojezično govori na katalonskom i španjolskom, a strancima se instinktivno obraćaju na španjolskom. Katalonski je jezik, a ne dijalekt, i po mnogočemu zvuči bliže talijanskom, portugalskom i francuskom. Izbjegavajte da katalonski govorite kao dijalekt, koji će uvrijediti Katalonce.

Možda će vam neki mještani odgovoriti na katalonskom nakon što ih se pita na španjolskom, to nije zato što su nepristojni već zato što pretpostavljaju da ste dvojezični. U Kataloniji nije rijetkost čuti kako se ljudi prebacuju između različitih jezika u istom razgovoru. U slučaju da ne razumijete što govore, recite im da ne govorite katalonski i uljudno ih zamolite da to ponove na španjolskom ili engleskom jeziku.

Glavni uzrok španjolske i katalonske društvene dvojezičnosti u modernoj Kataloniji je velik imigracijski proces iz ostatka Španjolske koji se dogodio tijekom 20. stoljeća, jer je Katalonija započela značajnu industrijalizaciju koja je zahtijevala povećanu radnu snagu od drugdje. 60% ljudi u Kataloniji koristi španjolski kao svoj prvi jezik, a 40% koristi katalonski. Pitanja koja se tiču ​​jezika, nacionalnog identiteta i politike su poput politike bilo gdje.

U turističkim područjima gotovo sve trgovine i barovi imaju osoblje koje govori engleski jezik. Ljudi će se općenito potruditi da vam pokušaju pomoći ako govorite engleski. Ako ste izvorni govornik engleskog jezika, imat ćete malo problema jer je Barcelona domaćin mnogim turistima.

Avionom

Međunarodna zračna luka Barcelona

Glavna zračna luka je 41.2969442.0783331 Barcelona El Prat (BCN ^IATA). Neki niskotarifni prijevoznici, posebno Ryanair, koriste zračne luke u Girona (GRO ^IATA), gotovo 100 km (62 milje) sjevernije, ili Reus (REU ^IATA), umjesto na istoj udaljenosti prema jugu. Otkako je Ryanair počeo s radom na BCN-u, pažljivo provjerite kamo ide vaš let. Troslovni IATA kod trebao bi biti dio vašeg postupka rezervacije.

Međunarodna zračna luka Barcelona

Glavni članak: Zračna luka Barcelona El Prat

Međunarodna zračna luka Barcelona (BCN ^IATA), također poznat kao El Prat, glavno je prometno čvorište s letovima iz cijele Europe i šire. Do centra grada Barcelone možete doći vlakom ili autobusom s karticom T1. To košta 10,20 EUR za 10 putovanja bilo kojim metroom, tramvajem ili autobusom u gradskom području Barcelone, a može ih podijeliti više osoba. Također je puno jeftiniji od Aeroba (5,90 eura za jedno putovanje). Vlak kreće s terminala 2, a besplatan je prijevoz od terminala 1 do terminala 2. Vlakovi voze svakih 30 minuta do oko ponoći. Ako stignete kasnim letom, u Barcelonu možete ući noćnim autobusom N18, koji se zaustavlja na trgu Plaça d'Espanya na putu prema trgu Catalunya.

Zračna luka Girona – Costa Brava

Usluga autobusnog prijevoza Barcelona vozi shuttle autobus od Estació del Nord (koji je pješačka udaljenost do stanice metroa Arc de Triomf) u Barceloni do zračne luke Girona, sinkronizirano s različitim vremenima leta. Karta u jednom smjeru košta 16 eura, a povratna karta košta 25 eura. Putovanje traje približno 1 sat i 10 minuta. Dostupni su redovi vožnje na liniji.

Zračna luka Reus

Do nje je najlakše doći autobusom kojim upravlja Hispano Igualadina od autobusne stanice Barcelona Sants do zračne luke. Polasci autobusa sinkronizirani su s polascima / dolascima aviona Ryanair. Karta u jednom smjeru košta 13 eura, a povratna karta košta 24 eura. Putovanje traje od 1 h 30 min do 1 h 45 min, ovisno o prometu na autocesti. Dostupni su redovi vožnje na liniji. Nešto jeftinija, ali duža opcija je vlakom od stanice Barcelona Sants do Reusa, a zatim lokalnim autobusom br. 50 do zračne luke. Vlak košta 7,25 eura, a autobus 2,5 eura. To traje oko 2½ sata. Vozne redove vlakova možete provjeriti kod Renfea web stranica a vozni red autobusa dostupan je na adresi web stranica Reusova javnog prijevoza.

Željeznička stanica Barcelona Sants

Vlakom

Superbrzi vlakovi dovest će vas do Barcelone iz cijele Španjolske i Francuske

Barcelona je dobro povezana sa španjolskom željezničkom mrežom i ostatkom Europe. Brzi vlakovi često voze od glavnog kolodvora 41.3788888888892.142 Barcelona Sants (na jugozapadu grada) do Madrida, Seville i Malage. Postoje i redovite daljinske veze koje djelomično koriste brzu infrastrukturu do svih većih španjolskih gradova.

Povijesni 41.3842.1863 Estació de França sada uglavnom služi regionalnim vlakovima.

Izravno redovito usluga brzih vlakova odlazi na odredišta u Francusku. Uz dvije dnevne usluge TGV iz Pariz (vrijeme putovanja ~ 7 sati do Barcelone), postoji svakodnevna usluga od Toulouse (3 sata), dnevna usluga od Lyon (5 sati) i dnevna usluga od Marseille (4 sata). Cijene počinju od 39 eura, pa iako bi vlak mogao trajati duže od leta, često je jeftinija i opuštenija alternativa.

Nekadašnji Talgovi vlakovi iz Montpelliera za Barcelonu i Cartagenu preko Portboua prestali su voziti kad su započele izravne brze usluge. Još uvijek je moguće putovati preko Cerbère / Portboua lokalnim vlakovima, ali to je glomazno, bolno sporo i koordinacija rasporeda na granici je užasna; međutim to može biti jedina alternativa ako su svi TGV-ovi u potpunosti rezervirani. Također, ako rezervirate unaprijed, TGV može biti puno jeftiniji od korištenja ovih lokalnih vlakova. Međutim, za putnike koji koriste prolaze Eurail i Interrail ove lokalne rute koristan su način za izbjegavanje visokih dodatnih naknada za rezervaciju na međunarodnim TGV-ovima, koje mogu biti gotovo toliko visoke kao unaprijed rezervirana samostalna karta na nekim dužim rutama.

Tu je i manje poznata željeznička linija preko Pirineja do Toulousea. Na španjolskoj strani otprilike je jedan vlak svaka 3 sata, a na francuskoj jedan svaka dva ili četiri, uključujući vlak za spavanje iz Pariza (s krakom za Portbou koji se dijeli na Toulouse: provjerite sve redove vožnje da li je brža ruta, uvelike ovisi o vremenu čekanja na granici). Kupnja karata za ovu rutu može biti nezgodna. Španjolska linija smatra se prigradskom linijom unatoč tome što je daleko od Barcelone i ne pojavljuje se ni u jednom globalnom europskom voznom redu, pa je nemoguće dobiti međunarodnu CIV kartu, svaki dio mora se kupiti zasebno. Također, za putovanje prema jugu, stanica Latour-de-Carol prodaje samo SNCF karte, tako da se španjolski dio mora kupiti izravno kod inspektora ulaznica, samo u gotovini. Putovanje traje 7–8 sati (uključujući transfer) i košta približno 30 eura.

Pokretanje brze usluge značilo je kraj prekonoćne usluge spavanja automobila Trenhotel između Barcelone i Pariza. Trenhoteli ipak trče između Barcelone i Granada, A Coruña i Vigo.

Barcelona je popularna luka pristajanja kruzera

Brodom

Gradska luka jedna je od najprometnijih na Mediteranu.

Veliki brodovi za krstarenje pristaju 1–2 km (0,62–1,24 milje) prema jugozapadu. Mnogi od njih nude autobusne linije do mjesta na južnom kraju La Ramble. Trajekti pristaju gotovo izravno na Ramblas.

Postoje redovite trajektne veze s Balearski otoci (Alcúdia, Ciutadella de Menorca, Grad Ibiza, Sant Antoni de Portmany, Mahón, Palma de Mallorca), Italija (Savona, Genova, Livorno, Porto Torres i Civitavecchia za Rim) i Tanger, u Maroko. Iz Rima (Civitavecchia) trajektom je zapravo jeftinije nego autobusom.

Uključuje neke od najvećih brodarskih tvrtki Baleària, Linije Grimaldi i Trasmediterana ali postoji i nekoliko manjih tvrtki.

Autobusom

Sve autobusne veze su na 41.3941416666672.18274166666674 Barcelona del Nord (Barcelona Nord, Estacion del Norte) stanica (☏ 34 902 260 606). To uključuje nacionalne (npr. 18 autobusa dnevno iz Madrida) i međunarodne rute.

Megabus prometuje autobusnim linijama između Barcelone Nord i londonske autobusne stanice Victoria, preko Pariza i Toulousea. Također se povezuju s Amsterdamom, Kölnom, Bruxellesom i mnogim gradovima Velike Britanije. Mogu biti vrlo jeftini, ali budite spremni za 24-26 sati vožnje autobusom iz Londona! Naknada za rezervaciju iznosi 0,50 GBP. Na brodu mogu biti utičnice ili Wi-Fi, ali ne moraju. Megabus preporučuje da budete na mjestu polaska najmanje 30 minuta prije vremena polaska (osim Londona Victoria gdje morate doći 60 minuta prije polaska).

Automobilom

Nekoliko glavnih cesta povezuje Barcelonu s Francuskom i ostatkom Španjolske. Izvan vršnih sati promet je obično relativno slab. Besplatna parkirna mjesta nalaze se na nekoliko stanica metroa od središta grada.

Plava parkirna mjesta plaćaju se M-Sa 09: 00-14: 00 i 16: 00-20: 00. Na nekim raskrižjima vrijeme isplate počinje u 08:00. Svatko može koristiti plavi prostor, ali nije ga tako lako pronaći. Plaćate na brojilo i stavljate kartu na instrument ploču. Zelena parkirna mjesta namijenjena su samo stanovnicima. Bijela parkirna mjesta su u svako doba besplatna, ali u centru grada ih nema.

Gradska parkirališta nalaze se u cijelom gradu.

Javnim prijevozom

Javni prijevoz u gradu i okolici kojim upravlja Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) konzorcij. Cijelo područje pokriveno je Integrirani sustav cijena, koji se dijeli na 6 zona. Ovaj sustav uključuje većinu javnog prijevoza na tom području: metro, gradski i međugradski autobus, tramvajski i prigradski vlakovi.

Granice grada Barcelone potpuno su unutar zone 1. Javnim prijevozom u gradu uglavnom upravlja Prevozi Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB). Imaju zasebno mjesto posvećen turistima. Druga dva operatera u Barceloni jesu Rodalies de Catalunya i Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC).

Sustav metroa u Barceloni i neke željezničke pruge.

Dostupne karte i putne kartice:

• Jedna ulaznica. A neintegrirani karta vrijedi samo za jedan način prijevoza određenog operatora: autobus, metro ili uspinjača itd. €2.20. (ažurirano rujna 2017)
• Hola BCN! kartice TMB-a. Za neograničen broj putovanja tijekom 2, 3, 4 ili 5 dana. Vrijede za TMB metro i autobusne, tramvajske, FGC i regionalne vlakove u gradu i gradskom području. T-10 i njegove sestrinske kartice naći ćete bolju vrijednost. Dvodnevna kartica 14,50 €. (ažurirano rujna 2017)
• Integrirano za fiksni broj putovanja. T-10, T-50/30, T-70/30. Ove su kartice za više osoba za 10, 50 ili 70 pojedinačnih putovanja. Tijekom svakog putovanja moguće je izvršiti do tri transfera. Cjelokupno trajanje putovanja ne smije biti duže od 1 sata 15 minuta i unutar zone 1. T-10 je najbolja opcija za uobičajene turiste u grad. To je prikladnije od kupnje pojedinačnih karata. To je bolja vrijednost od pojedinačne karte za više od 5 putovanja. Daleko je jeftinija od raznih popusta na kartice s besplatnim prijevozom. I na kraju, ne veže ga za određene rute poput hop-on-hop-off autobusa. T-10 za zonu 1 11,35 €. (ažurirano listopada 2019)
• Integrirano za neograničen broj putovanja tijekom određenog broja dana. T-Dia (1 dan), T-Mes (30 dana), T-Trimestre (90 dana). Te se kartice ne mogu prenositi, tj. Mora ih koristiti jedna osoba. T-Dia za zonu 1 8,40 €. (ažurirano rujna 2017)

Putne kartice izvrsne su vrijednosti u usporedbi s jednom kartom. Pazite da ih dobro pazite jer savijene ili oštećene kartice automati za prodaju karata neće čitati. Takve se kartice mogu zamijeniti u jednom od TMB-ovih centara za korisnike.

TMB također nudi nekoliko planeri ruta na njihovoj web stranici: verzije za stolna računala, za mobilni preglednik i mobilne aplikacije za Android i iPhone. Još jedan planer rute dostupan je na web mjestu bankomata.

Metroom

The Metro (podzemna željeznica) učinkovit je način kretanja po gradu. Radno vrijeme je 05: 00–24: 00 (M – Čet), 05: 00–02: 00 (F) i neprekidna usluga od subote u 05:00 do nedjelje u ponoć. Stanice su na većini karata označene ; svaka stanica ima detaljnu mapu izlaza iz grada. Vlakovi su brzi, često dolaze u intervalima od dvije minute. Međutim, praznicima i vikendima vlakovi voze samo svakih 6-8 minuta i lako se spakiraju. Najave se daju samo na katalonskom, iako natpisi i automati za prodaju karata uglavnom uključuju i španjolski i engleski.

Koristiti T-10 (1 zona) je najpristupačniji način putovanja unutar Barcelone

Obratite pažnju na činjenicu da ćete doći s linija metroa kojima upravlja TMB ( L1 ,  L2 ,  L3 ,  L4 ,  L5 ,  L9 / L10  i  L11 ) onima kojima upravlja FGC ( L6 ,  L7  i  L8 ), ili obrnuto, trebate izaći, a zatim ući kroz novi ulaz. U ovom slučaju, ako ste imali kartu za jedan put, morate nabaviti novu. Ako ste koristili kartu za više putovanja, neće vam biti naplaćen drugi put prilikom promjene linije sve dok ste unutar navedenog vremena putovanja za jedno putovanje. Također, ne možete ponoviti operater, pa ne možete koristiti FGC vožnju za pravljenje prečaca. Na primjer: promjena na L9S u L1 putem L8 pomoću Fira i Espanya naplatit će vam dva putovanja, umjesto toga trebali biste ići preko Torrase, iako je to duži put. Svi vlakovi su klimatizirani.

Vodite računa i o putovanju u zračnu luku: iako T-10 vrijedi za Renfe usluge, u metrou nije prihvaćen. Ako metroom dođete do zračne luke T-10, bit ćete prisiljeni platiti cijelu cijenu karte, koja iznosi 4,50 eura, a karta koju ste koristili neće vam biti vraćena.

Autobusom

The autobusna mreža u Barceloni je prilično opsežan. Možda je najbolja opcija u planiranju rute savjetovanje s jednim od gore spomenutih planera ruta.

Velika reorganizacija autobusnih linija dovršena je u studenom 2018., pa zanemarite stare redove autobusa i provjerite rute. Primjerice, autobusna linija 92 do parka Güell, kojom su mnogi turisti stigli nakon posjeta Sagrada Familia, obustavljena je, a nova linija V15 tu se zaustavlja, ali vodi drugom rutom kroz središte grada (Passeig de Sant Joan ).

Evo nekoliko savjeta za šifre autobusnih linija:

• Linije Hxx vode paralelno s obalnom linijom, mali brojevi vode se s visoke strane, visoki brojevi s morske strane.
• Vxx linije vode od plaže do brda, veliki broj na sjevernoj strani (Besòs), mali broj na južnoj (Llobregat).
• Dxx linije vode se pomalo dijagonalno, iako je zanimljivo da niti jedna od njih ne pokriva ni Diagonalne niti Meridiana avenije, glavne kose ulice.
• Mxx linije nalaze se na vanjskom obodu pokrivenosti metroa i povezuju metro stanicu sa susjedstvom u kojem nedostaje metro usluga.
• Bxx linije prometuju sjevernim područjem izvan Barcelone ili povezuju Barcelonu sa susjednim općinama u gradskom području, B predstavlja rijeku Besòs.
• Lxx linije teku na južnom području kao i Bxx linije, L označava rijeku Llobregat.
• Neke općine imaju linije unutar granica grada s dva slova i znamenkom, a dva slova podsjećaju na ime grada. Primjeri: BDx za Badalonu, LHx za L'Hospitalet ...
• Nxx linije prometuju samo noću kada sve ostale linije ne prometuju, otprilike od 23:00 do 6:00.
• Cxx linije povezuju Barcelonu s raznim sjevernim primorskim gradovima Maresme do Mataróa.
• Exx linije su ekspresni autobusi od / do Barcelone do raznih općina na udaljenosti 10–60 km (6,2–37,3 mi) izvan gradskog područja.
• Linije s jednom ili dvije znamenke bez ikakvog slova slijede povijesne rute prije sheme H-V-D.
• Linije između 100 i 199 obično su vrlo lokalne linije koje se prometuju automobilima malog kapaciteta i slabe frekvencije, 30 'ili gore. Značajni slučajevi su linija 111 do zabavnog parka Tibidabo, linija 120 kroz Ciutat Vella i linija 150 do olimpijskih mjesta i dvorca Montjuïc; drugi su uglavnom beskorisni za turiste.
• Brojevi linija od 200 naviše koriste se za neke rute koje idu izvan metropolitanskog područja, dok neke druge iste vrste uopće nemaju broj.

Autobusi H-V-D voze otprilike svakih 6-12 'minuta radnim danom, 15-20' vikendom. N autobusa vozi svakih 20 'cijele noći. Ostale linije mogu prometovati tako često kao 5 'ili kao samo jedna usluga na sat ili manje.

Imajte na umu da neke linije imaju posebna ograničenja cijena karte: karte Barcelone (neograničeno putovanje od 2 do 5 dana) vrijede samo za Hxx, Vxx, Dxx i brojeve linija ispod 200. Bilo koja karta za kartu 1 karte ne vrijedi za Cxx, Exx i brojeve linija iznad 200 - u stvari, putovanja u potpunosti unutar tarifne zone 1 nisu dopuštena na ovim linijama bez obzira koja se karta koristi, ako se ukrcate u bilo koji od ovih autobusa unutar tarifne zone 1, nećete moći sići dok ne stignete u drugu tarifnu zonu .

• Barcelona autobus Turístic. Ovaj autobus ima tri rute (karta je osigurana dok se ukrcavate), uključujući sjevernu i južnu liniju koje kreću sa suprotnih strana Plaça de Catalunya. Svaki traje 1-2 sata.

Skuterom

Osim za dostavu, električni skuteri zabranjeni su na pločnicima i u svim pješačkim šetnjama po cijeloj Barceloni. To bi moglo podvrgnuti pozamašnim novčanim kaznama, kao i čestom, zvučnom preziru pješaka. Električni skuteri dopušteni su u biciklističkim trakama i mogu dijeliti cestu s automobilima.

Pješice

Barcelona je vrlo prohodan grad. Potrebno je nešto više od sat vremena hoda od Port Vella na moru do parka Güell u podnožju planinskog lanca na sjeveroistočnom kraju grada, a na svom mjestu možete vidjeti niz atrakcija, uključujući La Ramblu i Sagrada Família. put. Posvuda postoje mogućnosti da sjednete i posvuda uživate u piću ili obroku. Ako ste u formi, možete prilično istražiti grad i sami pješice, osim ako vas toplina ne pobije u toplijim mjesecima (a tada uvijek možete pribjeći klimatiziranom metrou).

Automobilom

Parkiranje oko svih glavnih turističkih odredišta je skupo (3 eura / sat, 20-36 eura / dan), a prostorima je teško orijentirati se, jer postoji nekoliko klasa javnih parkirališnih mjesta, sa složenim pravilima za svaku klasu. Barcelona je mučena s istim problemima koji muče i druge velike europske gradove; velike gužve u prometu i izuzetno uske ulice u nekim područjima, zajedno s vrlo složenim cestovnim sustavom. Kao takva, vožnja okolo se ne preporučuje turistima, posebno onima koji nemaju iskustva u vožnji u velikim gradovima. Javni prijevoz odvest će vas do svih glavnih područja, a vi biste to trebali koristiti kao svoj glavni način prijevoza.

Imati mapu vožnje je neophodno - planirajte svoju rutu prije nego što krenete. Kretanje prosječnom turističkom kartom često zavarava: mnoge su ulice jednosmjerne; skretanje ulijevo rjeđe je od prava (i nepredvidivo je). Kao primjer, Gran preko Les Corts Catalanes zapravo je jednosmjerna sjeverna ulica između Espanye i Marine, suprotan smjer rezerviran je samo za autobuse i taksije.

Neka besplatna parkirna mjesta koja su putnici prijavili su:

• Blizu Moll de Sant Bertran (koji je jugozapadno od Museu Maritim) - vožnja B-10, izlaz do WTC-a i skretanje u krug na kružnom toku, prema skladištima - i parkiranje pored automobila zaposlenih.
• Negdje u blizini parka Guell.
• U blizini Font Màgica, na trgu Plaça Espanya i brdu Montjuïc.

Putovanje automobilom ima smisla ako planirate provesti mnogo više vremena u vožnji izvan granica grada nego unutar njega - i idealno je ako uopće ne planirate parkirati preko noći. Inače, za isključivo gradski prijevoz razmislite o najmu skutera ili umjesto toga koristite javni prijevoz.

Taksijem

Od siječnja 2019., usluge dijeljenja vožnje kao što je Uber zahtijeva najmanje jedan sat unaprijed. Ako imate manje od jednog sata unaprijed, trebate nazvati redovni taksi.

La Rambla, glavni bulevar Barcelone

• Prošećite se sljedećim poznatim ulicama u Ciutat Vella:
  • 41.3813888888892.17305555555561 La Rambla (Las Ramblas), a gorgeous tree-lined pedestrian walkway, the busiest and most lively street of the city. Uglavnom su zauzeti turistima, očekuju da će platiti veće cijene za hranu i piće. Avoid the groups of people supposedly betting on a game played on a cardboard table - they are thieves. Krenite u neke sporedne ulice prema jeftinijem, lokalnijem i autentičnijem doživljaju Barcelone. Often called Las Ramblas, because it is a series of several different streets each called 'Rambla de ____', the sections also have distinct feels. As you get closer to Plaça Catalunya, you find more street performers doing stunts. In the middle, you'll find street performers in costumes. Prema molu postoje umjetnici koji će raditi crteže olovkom, slike itd.
  • 41.3870312.1700792 Plaça de Catalunya . Connecting all the major streets in the city, the Plaça is known for its fountains and statues, and the central location to everything in the city. A favourite meeting spot for locals.
  • 41.386462.171963 Portal de l'Àngel . Large pedestrian walkway with many new and stylish shops in which to browse.
• Cruise miles of beachfront boardwalk starting from Barceloneta, or get a tan on the beach. Eat good seafood and rice dishes at La Barceloneta neighbourhood
• Sit on a wooden bridge to Maremagnum in Ciutat Vella and cool your toes at the water's edge with a book, sandwich, or just for a short rest.
• Lutajte Barri Gotić u Ciutat Vella, the largely intact medieval center of the city and visit the Cathedral and its wonderful cloister.
• Uživajte u svojoj Sangriji na La Plaça Reial u Ciutat Vella, near La Rambla Street. Great place to sit, relax, and drink. (People from Barcelona do not drink sangria, it's just a tourist drink! But you can enjoy it anyway!)
• Walk in El Born neighbourhood in Ciutat Vella, a former very popular area with great restaurants and places to have a few drinks. If your accommodation is on Rambla, El Born is a great place to enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere, and find more creative shops and craftsmen. El Born means jousting field, and its history and stories can fill one of those huge books stored in old libraries. There are interesting and quirky details to uncover while walking around, such as the name given to its streets, the medieval signs to brothels, and remnants of the secession war of the end of the 18th century. Indulge yourself at Hofman or Bubó bakeries and make sure you visit the Santa Maria del Mar church.
• Visit a Flamenco Show in a real tablao. One of the best is Tablao de Carmen in Sants-Montjuïc. A cheaper alternative is in the jazzclub Jazz Si u Ciutat Vella. (Although Flamenco is mostly just a touristy activity, Catalan people are not into flamenco. It's a dance and music from Andalucia, the southeast region in Spain)
• Ride the Cable Way to get from the sea front to Montjuïc mountain in Sants-Montjuïc
• Sit and sip on a coffee in Plaça dels Àngels u Ciutat Vella, while admiring the whiteness of the MACBA and the best street skate tricks in town.
• Catch a performance at the beautiful Teatre del Liceu ili Palau de la Musica Catalana, both in Ciutat Vella.

Sportski

The Spanish sports conglomerates that dominate soccer are also active in other sports. For example, FC Barcelona is by far the most successful team in Spanish handball and among Europe's top basketball teams.

• Gledaj nogomet: the big famous soccer team is nogometni klub Barcelona playing in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football. Their home ground is Camp Nou (capacity 98,000), 1 km west of Sants railway station. Nearest Metro is Palau Reial.

RCD Espanyol were relegated in 2020 so they play in Segunda División, the second tier. Their home ground is RCDE Stadium (capacity 40,500) at the western edge of the city. No metro, take a bus towards Ave del Baix Llobregat.

The El Clásico rivalry between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid is one of the most intense in the world as a result of its political undertones; Real Madrid is seen as a symbol of the Spanish ruling establishment, while FC Barcelona is seen as a symbol of Catalan identity. Similarly, the local Derbi barceloní is a politically-charged one, with FC Barcelona traditionally being supported by pro-independence locals, and Espanyol traditionally being supported by anti-independence locals. Be careful not to wear team colours of the opposing team when you are in a crowd of supporters of one team, as violent confrontations have been known to occur.

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is a motor-racing circuit hosting Formula jedan and other big events. It's in the northern suburb of Montmeló.

Festivali i događanja

Correfoc in La Mercè

Barcelona hosts a number of annual fiestas, many of which are unique to Catalonia and offer an insight into its distinctive culture.

• Sónar. An annual three-day music festival. It is described officially as a festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art. Music is by far the main aspect of the festival. The festival runs for three days and nights, usually starting on a Thursday in the third week of June. There is a day location and a night location. €52 daypass, €76 night entry, €199 festival pass on internet booking, higher fees for entrance passes. 
• Monegros Desert Festival. The most famous and biggest one day/night electronic music festivals in Spain is in the desert of Fraga, 200 km (120 mi) from Barcelona. More than 40, 000 people gather every July to celebrate electronic music with the best DJs representing styles from house, electro, minimal, techno, to drum&bass, dubstep, and hiphop. 20 hours nonstop, it is a unique desert experience. 
• Festes de la Mercè. Barcelona's main annual festival around 24 September, encompassing many events such as human towers (castellers), free live music events on the streets, firework displays, and processions of wooden giants. It is a holiday and the city offers a lot of activities to have fun. Enjoy a fountains and fireworks show at the base of the Montjuïc hill.
• Festes de Gràcia. The Festes de Gracia is a Catalonian celebration, held around 15 August each year to commemorate the Assumption. During the week of festivities that mark one of Barcelona's most important fiestas, the city of Gracia explodes with fun, excitement, color, and fireworks. Many streets are decorated by neighbours, and there is live music, food in the streets, and the parties continue all night.
• Festes de Sants. Similar to Gracia's event, but smaller and later on in August. If you can't go to Gracia's event, try to go to this festival.
• Sant Jordi. 23 April. Considered to be like Valentine's Day. People give roses and books around the streets. Traditionally, men give women roses and women give men books. It is one of the most popular and interesting celebrations in Catalonia.

Casa de l'Ardiaca during Corpus

• Korpus. Late in May (Corpus Christi day). An egg is put over the fountains (most of them in the churches, and decorated with flowers), and it "magically dances" over the water. Most of the churches are in the city center: Cathedral's cloister, Santa Anna, Casa de l'Ardiaca, Museu Frederic Marés, and over 10 more fountains.
• Fira de Santa Llúcia. From 2/3 December to 23 December, to commemorate Sta. Llúcia (13 December). During this time, in front of the Cathedral, Christmas objects are sold. Some places sell Christmas trees, but most of them sell elements for making the pessebres (Nativity scenes). These include small sculptures, wooden pieces, and moss used to simulate grass.

13 December is the feast day of Santa Llucia, patron saint of fashion designers and blind people, who gather at the Santa Llucia chapel in the cathedral to pay their respects.

• Barcelona Jazz Festival. A brighter way to celebrate the colder Autumn days, the annual Jazz festival has been running for nearly 50 years now and runs roughly from the last week in October and all the way through November Tickets prices differ for each event. 
• Revetlla de Sant Joan. This is the midsummer solstice celebration. It is celebrated on 23 June every year and is signified by the fireworks (there are frequent and loud amateur fireworks all night long, which may make it hard to sleep) that are permanently on display during this time.
• Fira de Barcelona. There are trade events all year round in Barcelona. 

During festivals and especially during Mobile World Congress which is a major trade show at the Fira, accommodation in Barcelona and especially near the Fira is much more difficult to find and more expensive than usual.

Kupiti

Most shops and shopping malls are closed on Sundays because of law restrictions. U Ciutat Vella you will find plenty of small fashion shops, souvenir shops and small supermarkets open on Sundays. The souvenir shopping scattered throughout the Barri Gotic and all along La Rambla are tourist traps, none of them sell Catalan or Spanish products but the typical array of Chinese general souvenirs, they should be avoided. Moreover on the Port Vell, right at the end of The Ramblas there is Maremagnum, a shopping mall that stays open all Sundays.

• Secondhand English books in Gràcia.
• Design lovers head for Gràcia.
• El Corte Inglés. Spanning several floors and several buildings, and in several locations around town, many in Eixample i Inland Suburbs and a couple also in Ciutat Vella. You can find anything and everything in this department store, from gastronomy to pneumatics. Tax return checks are made on a separate floor of the store. Vidjeti review for the whole chain in the Spain article.

• Marke are actually sold in 'Tabacs' or tobacconists. Once you know what they look like, you'll notice them on every block or so. To post your mail, you need to find one of the rare žuta boja letter boxes along the sidewalks.
• Zapisi For vinyl records, try the wonderful shop Discos Revolver at 13 Carrer dels Tallers.
• Supermarketi are spread across the city. BonÀrea, Bonpreu and Condis are the most popular supermarket chains from Catalonia. Mercadona, Consum, and Dia are other popular chains from the rest of Spain. All of them are a cost-effective way to purchase grocery items. There are also organic/specialty supermarkets like Casa Ametller or Veritas which are pricier. Small corner stores are the most visible on city streets, but tend to mark up prices in exchange for convenience.

Jesti

As with all cities which welcome large numbers of tourists, Barcelona's cuisine is inconsistent in quality, but there are plenty of restaurants serving excellent food at very reasonable prices, if you know where to look. The usual rules of thumb apply: to save money and get better food, look for places off the beaten track used by fellow travellers, and seek out cafés and restaurants which the locals frequent. In practice, this usually involves searching out eateries in residential districts away from the main sightseeing attractions. Avoid restaurants with touts outside, and have a basic understanding of the traditional foods served in restaurants, as well as the local drinks. One slightly crafty way of sussing a place's authenticity at a glance is to take note of how they spell a certain word: a menu board advertising tapniteas, written the Spanish/international way, is likely to be somewhere which primarily caters to tourists, whereas somewhere offering tapnitees, using Catalan spelling, is in all probability a venue frequented by locals.

Some districts to check out include Gràcia, which is a hub of quality, affordable Catalan cooking of both the traditional and more avant-garde varieties, and the Eixample, whose chic boulevards have upscale restaurants aplenty worthy of your splurge money. The fishing quarter of Barceloneta (in Ciutat Vella) is an example of a neighbourhood where it pays to be picky: closer to the gentrified seafront, a slew of mojito beach bar-style places serve up expensive tourist tapas; for the real thing, head into the backstreets, where many traditional bars are still tucked away. In all cases, be prepared to "promenade" in search of the most attractive-looking menu; that's what the locals do, after all.

Set menus (menú del migdia / menú del día) Most restaurants (and some bars) offer a menú del migdia / menú del día (menu of the day), which usually means a three course meal (a first plate often a salad or rice-based or pasta-based dish, a second plate usually a meat or fish, and a drink; plus a dessert or coffee), 3 or 4 options for each course, for €12 to €20, depending on the restaurant. The portions may be quite generous, or rather small. During the week, some smart restaurants offer lunch specials from 14:00 to 16:00. The savvy traveller will try the hip places for a fraction of the price during the day.

If you're looking for a place where everyone can choose their own meal, ask for restaurants that serve platos combinados, which is the closest thing to an American/Northern European meal.

Pušenje is not permitted inside bars and restaurants since 2011, but it's usually allowed in terraces.

Posuđe

Tanjur od tapes

You can get food from any part of the world in Barcelona, but make sure you try some Catalan food.

Vidjeti Catalan cuisine section in the Catalonia article.

The selection of seafood is consistently great, although not a lot of it is local (this part of the Mediterranean is pretty well fished-out).

A treat to try that no travel guide mentions is waffles sold at street stands. They will tempt you with their mouth watering smell and taste.

Tapas restaurants are now all over the city (although tapas originated in Andalusia in the south of Spain). Each Spanish region has its native tapas; signature 'Catalonia' tapas is delicious. Some Catalans eat a more French-style three course meal (appetizer, main dish and dessert) and would more likely go for a pre-meal beer/vermouth and some snacks (olives, chips, etc.); others go for a meal entirely of tapas. This pre-meal snack is called 'fer el vermut' or 'making the vermouth'. As you travel to smaller towns in Catalonia outside of Barcelona, it is less likely that you will find tapas and more likely you'll see restaurants serving traditional Catalan food in three courses.

Beyond Catalan food, there is no shortage of durum ili shawarma stands in Barcelona, offering tasty beef or chicken and salad in toasted flatbread for around €3.50. Gyros are delicious! You can also consider the azijski selection, with a lot of Chinese, Japanese and Indian restaurants. As with anywhere else, there are plenty of talijanski restaurants, while Latin American offerings, particularly Argentine and meksički, are well-represented too.

Food tours

If you feel lost in the variety of food choices there are - Catalan, Basque, Spanish, and beyond, it may be helpful to do a food tour to quickly get oriented. Many independent tour operators run food and wine tours in the city.

• Barcelona Eat Local Food Tours, Hurtado 28 Barcelona, 08022, ☏ 1 800 656 0713. A family-owned business that showcases the best of Catalan gastronomy in off-the-beaten districts of Barcelona. (ažurirano travnja 2017)

Areas to eat

Depending on where you are in the city, there may be restaurants galore, or none at all. The following areas tend to be restaurant "hubs", with a large variety of restaurants to choose from:

• Barceloneta: A popular quarter for locals, where you can try fish based dishes, such as Paella (a name that may hide many different kinds of rice concoctions) or Arròs negre (Black Rice), that takes its colour because it is made using squid ink. Barceloneta is a very good place to eat tapas također.
• Sant Antoni is the new addition to the culinary scene in Barcelona where old and trendy cuisine mingle.
• Eixample Esquerra (between Gran Via and Mallorca)
• Barri Gòtic (especially for tapas)
• "El Born" (next to Barri Gòtic)

Around Plaça Catalunya there are dozens of restaurants serving tapas. One should be careful with the tourist traps as the area is highly populated with tourists.

For budget eating you may choose "menú del migdia" in small bars on the Avinguda del Parallel for €9-11 per person. Be aware that sometimes the menu and the staff are only in Spanish.

The large cafes that line the Passeig de Gràcia and the Rambla Catalunya, just north of the Plaça Catalunya, offer a variety of acceptable tapas. This part of the town is quite touristy and a bit expensive.

Groceries

In several supermarkets you can find a wide stall with a great selection of ready-to-eat dishes. You can get a two-course lunch for less than €5.

Cafes

Try a "café con hielo" an espresso served with a glass of ice cubes on the side and any local 'cafeteria'. Cafes are found on each corner in Barcelona, and these days a conscious movement in favour of top quality coffee is changing the scene in the Catalan capital with a new trend in terms of coffee houses.

• Chupitos are found in several locations throughout the city, including one in Barceloneta. Chupitos is Spanish for "shots" and offers hundreds of unique shots including the "Harry Potter" (a shot that sparks as cinnamon is sprinkled over it), and "Monica Lewinsky" (a variety of flaming shots) among others. As much a show as it is a place to get a drink, it's a fun night out.

Barcelona offers a great range of accommodations, from cheap, decent apartments, hostels and guest-houses to five-star hotels. Every district has plentiful offerings, and thanks to the efficient public transportation you can stay comfortably in any of them, depending on your budget and preferences.

• Ciutat Vella offers a mix of luxury hotels and cheerful hostels within a dense urban environment. Staying there means being at the heart of Barcelona's nightlife - which is both lively and noisy.
• Eixample i Gràcia i Sants-Montjuïc are calmer, but quite as dense, and popular due to closeness to attractions. You will find more mid-market properties there.
• Sant Martí contains most of Barcelona's beaches and a string of very modern hotels along the Diagonal
• The suburbs are not as far away as you may think thanks to the metro and local railway. Some hillside hotels offer great views, but may be far away from public transit though.

See the district articles for detailed listings of accommodation opportunities.

Pickpocketing is the most pressing issue for visitors to Barcelona. Never keep your wallet, cash or important documents in trouser pockets or in bag pockets: a money belt is an easy and inexpensive way to prevent being robbed. As always, be alert in crowded places, such as public transport, train and bus stations, La Rambla and Raval. People may approach you asking for change, or to change money. Just ignore them. If you are asked to change money, then official looking police may approach you afterwards to 'check' your wallet for ID, etc. These are not police, so be at your most vigilant or you might find they have taken a few cards or cash upon returning your wallet. If you are in a crowd of spectators watching street entertainment, beware of anyone getting suspiciously close to you.

Pickpockets use the football trick as the local specialty. At certain tourist hotspots, there are people who will try to show you a 'magic trick'. This involves tying a piece of string around your finger. While you are distracted (and your arm is effectively disabled), an accomplice will pickpocket you. It is also possible that criminals will pose as tourists and ask directions to approach their victims. Keep your distance and be careful in tourist places.

The subway is a hotbed for pickpocketing activity, which can range from simple opportunistic thefts to coordinated attacks. Be especially wary on the subway platforms at Sants train station and Sagrada Família. A group of men will come out of seemingly nowhere while you attempt to enter a subway car and block your entrance i exit in a coordinated manner, effectively pinning you against the doors while they close. They will act as if the car is just crowded and they are trying to get on as well, but, in reality, they have already gone through your pockets.

Once they take stuff, they quickly return to the platform and walk off calmly while you are trapped in the departing subway as they make sure they exit just before the doors cannot be reopened. Violence in these situations is rare, and in most cases the goal of the thieves is to rob you undetected. Stay vigilant: do not leave anything in a back trouser pocket (except maybe a map of the city). Hold on to your bag or purse at all times. Do not leave anything unattended while you sit in a cafe or restaurant.

One guy acts like he's reading a newspaper and is about to go into the subway gate (he's scanning his target). While you insert your subway card to enter and before the gate opens, that guy immediately enters his subway card also, which causes the gate to jam and alarm sound. Immediately 3-4 other people appear and, while acting like trying to help, (pointing to the gate telling you 'the door is jam') will try to snatch your backpack or wallet while you are still surprised. Check and make sure no one tailgates on you, or, simply, just let the guy go first.

While you are at an outdoor table of a café, don't leave your smartphone on the table. Someone will try to steal it. For example, a guy babbling for change with an unreadable poster in his hands, getting closer and closer to the smartphone until he eventually picks it up, passes it to a second guy that will run away with it.

People in Barcelona are often very friendly and love to practice their English, so don't be unfriendly. That said, you should, of course, be suspicious if someone approaches you in a touristy area speaking your language and asking you for help. This should put your guard up immediately. Do not be tempted to sign their petition, give them directions, or help them with their problem. You don't know anything about where you are, since you're a tourist, so you won't be able to help them in any case.

Professional scam artists exhibiting a high degree of coordination are active in many areas of the city. Be careful in tourist areas. Razne methods are employed, including the No-change trick. A common scam involves fake cops who will show up ask to see your passport, then take your belongings at the first opportunity. The story varies, but they are almost certainly not real ones. When it happens, the best strategy is to just walk away instead of starting any sort of conversations with them. Another trick is that one seemingly confused person will ask you for directions, diverting your attention and then suddenly fake police will appear asking for your ID. This is a co-ordinated move to divert the attention and steal whatever is possible. If such incident happens, just walk away, without listening to any of their conversation. Stay alert, especially in busy tourist area near the Sants station and Plaça d'Espanya.

Another popular scam happens in the metro. A group of scammers (often middle-aged women) will take advantage of the fuss while people are entering the metro and surround a tourist, frantically asking for directions. Most tourists won't know what to say while one of the scammers empties their pockets. They will try to confuse the tourist while the metro stays in the platform, and will get out just before the doors are closed. When you realize you've been scammed, the train will have already left and they will be safely outside with your belongings.

The bird excrement scam is also common. One or more accomplices will secretly spray or throw a smelly liquid on you. When you look up thinking a passing bird has pooped on you, they will run up to you and tell you that they saw a bird poop on you. They will offer to help you clean up, and while you are cleaning they will go through your pockets and any bags you have set down. It is wise to beware of anyone who is attempting to touch a complete stranger.

Verzija Three Card Monte is one of many common scams played on Les Rambles. There are also people holding petitions to install a wheelchair lift in locations with a lot of stairs. Once your signature is obtained they will then aggressively ask for a donation. Sometimes there can be crowds of children demanding money with hardly anyone else in the area, making it difficult to get away.

Violent crimes

In 2019 there was a surge in violent crimes around Barcelona: in just the summer, there were almost as many violent deaths as there were for the whole previous year. While tourists are very rarely targeted, so for the regular tourist this should be not a concern, many of these deaths are either drug-related or take place during drunken fights, so you are best advised to avoid such situations.

Nogomet

Local club nogometni klub Barcelona (also known as "Barça", a term used by locals to refer strictly to the club and not the city) is seen as a symbol of Catalan nationalism, and has a very heated and politically charged rivalry with Real Madrid, which is seen as a symbol of the Spanish state and ruling establishment, and violent confrontations between the supporters of both clubs have been known to occur. Avoid wearing Real Madrid jerseys while you're in Barcelona, especially on matchdays, as that could result in you being singled out for violence by local fans.

On the other hand, wearing an Atlético Madrid (the other Madrid club) jersey might get you some stares and a couple of harmless teasings, but certainly no violent reactions.

ATMs

Barcelona offers ATMs in many locations. Many provide a wide range of services (withdrawals, transfers, mobile credit recharges, ticketing, etc.), and most accept ATM/debit/credit cards of various banks. Choose an ATM in a secure or highly-public space (e.g., in a bank lobby or airport terminal) to avoid machines modified by criminals to skim/video your card data or where you might be robbed after use. Ensure early in usage that the ATM supports a language you understand. For a full discussion of safe/effective charge/debit/ATM card usage and their cost trade-offs, see Novac.

Areas of caution

Be very careful in the Barcelona Sants train station where thieves prey on new arrivals, even on the platforms. In general, try to stay away from suburban trains (cercanias in Spanish or rodalies in Catalan) late in the evening, as you may encounter young offensive drop-outs that disturb passengers, smoke, break windows and vandalize equipment. Don't rely too much on the railway security staff, as they prefer not to get involved, and by all means avoid messing with those troublemakers.

Women travelling alone should exercise caution while exploring the more isolated parts of Montjuïc. The city beaches, particularly the ones adjoining Barceloneta, have proven to be quite lucrative for bag snatchers. Anything that you would rather not lose is best left, locked, in your hostel or hotel.

Men traveling alone should expect the prostitutes on Les Rambles, St. Antoni, and Raval in the early hours to be very aggressive and in league with pickpockets and robbers.

Also, people need to be careful when leaving the bars of the Olympic Port late as there are many pickpockets around.

Women should be wary of wearing exposed jewelry such as gold chains and necklaces. People walking down a street may be attacked from behind by a thief who may grab the necklace and try to rip it off the woman's neck before quickly running away, often down a convenient side street. Be especially careful of seedy looking men on bicycles, as grab and snatch assaults can occur.

In the event of such a robbery, people will need to find the local police station to report the incident, especially if a travel insurance claim is going to be made. Don't expect any police action beyond the report, though, as these types of events are par for the course and arrests, even when made, almost never lead to prosecution due to a slow, antiquated, and overburdened legal system.

Parts of Barcelona are covered by closed circuit TV surveillance, but only the more popular spots.

Anti-tourism movement

Many Barcelona residents have the impression that there are too many tourists in Barcelona and that it has increased living costs, as landlords prefer to rent to tourists and not to locals to make more profit. Also, a lot of local shops have closed to make way for souvenir spots, so many locals feel they are being expelled from areas they have lived their whole life. In some areas, particularly the ones next to the beach where drunken tourists often stroll in swimming suits, there were anti-tourism demonstrations by locals, which had the backing of the Mayor of Barcelona. By October 2019, this movement had nearly disappeared from scene.

Javni prijevoz

Besides being a particular pickpocket hot spot, there are plenty of fare evaders who will stick to you when crossing a fare barrier. Do not even attempt to block their way and let them pass, as many of them can be quite aggressive. Although stations are full of surveillance cameras, they are seldom used to either enforce fare payment or as a proof for filed assault charges, except in the most severe cases. Lack of staff in many stations and few ticket inspections effectively mean carte blanche for them. The fare evasion fine is just €50 if paid on spot, no matter how many times the culprit has previously been caught, and many fines remain unpaid because payment enforcement is legally way too cumbersome.

Reporting crimes

If you need to report a crime (for example, to claim on travel insurance), be prepared for the reality that in the downtown police station, officers generally do not speak English, even though the theft report form is in English, Spanish, and Catalan. The police station most often used to report theft is the one underneath Plaça Catalunya beside metro station, where they have some translators for common world languages.
