Brother just do it. After mine first visit I went home and sold all my belongings in Sweden and moved down. It's plenty of jobs if you speak good English and none Spanish
Very informative, concise and straight to the point video. You hit all the "just tell me what I need to know" points that would be useful for a first time visitor. Barcelona has become my favorite city in Europe to visit. I've visited four times and I still keep discovering more interesting places and things to do in Barcelona and the region of Catalunya. Loved that you pronounced Girona the Catalan way. 🙂👍
Thank you Dante! Barcelona is so wonderful isn't it? I hope you get plenty more opportunities to visit again. Thank you for watching! Happy and safe travels to you. 💕
Another case which she forgot to mention is, people with different colourful or white even their fases they will pestering you in trying to to made a photograph with them very happy and laughing and then they will Insist and prepare you to give money.
I have just returned from Barcelona, I spent a month here and these tips are so useful 😍 I totally agree that it's a very walkable city! Also, even though me and my husband were very aware that there are a lot of pickpocketers and we were super careful, we still got robbed in the metro. Keep your phone and wallet near your body, ideally in an inside pocket of your jacket. I suggest visiting tourist attractions during weekdays, not weekends. It's also worth checking free admission days for museums, it's different for every museum (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday). Lastly, I suggest that you do your research on safety in each district of Barcelona before you book your accomodation. Avoid EL Raval at night, some parts of Sant Marti are also not so welcoming. I heard positive opinions on Les Corts and Gracia. I was living in Les Tres Torres for a week and it was very nice and safe, I really enjoyed it here. Then we moved to northern Sant Marti (near Besos Mar) and I must say that I didn't feel comfortable walking my dog at night there.
Hi Joanna, could you share with me, which hotel you stayed in Les Tres Torres Barcelona? I am planning to go there next year. I am also looking safe hotel with my family.
@@KRodCollective think that twice before you move to Barna , go near in by the sea or in the country side ., Barna is only go to go as a tourist but not to live.
I’m organising a stag party later this month and I’ve told my friends to have shorts and jogging pants with zipped pockets. I agree with you that most places are walkable, we are going visit Camp Nou from Poble Nou. The park is still in zone one and with a metro ticket you can change metros and it counts as one journey. Also there is a T familia ticket 8 journeys that can be share with friends, so for instance this would be return journeys for 4 people on one ticket. Totally agree with you that Barcelona is a fantastic city, it’s my favourite of all the cities that I’ve visited.
The best video I’ve stumbled across so far!! Finally confirmed my trip to Barcelona earlier today and feeling so excited for it! So ur video: perfect! Girl you go into so much detail and link further resources🔥🔥🔥 doing gods work thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this great video about traveling to Barcelona! These practical tips will undoubtedly help first-time travelers planning a trip to this beautiful city to better prepare their itinerary. I'm also very excited to see what kind of different Europe I'll encounter while traveling by AVE! My friend taught me how I can get cheap train tickets, so this trip will no longer be by plane but by rail ~ looking forward to my European rail trip!
Was in Madrid in Oct. '22 with my brother and a friend of mine. That friend is a great guy and makes a good amount of money and likes to tip very hard in the US. While we knew tipping wasn't too much of a thing in Spain, my friend continued his hard tipping just because its something he likes to do, partly because he used to work in the service industry. Let's just say his tipping was very much welcomed and sometimes we'd get a little bit extra from the bartender/waiter lol Looking at Barcelona this coming October!
Going to Barcelona next weekend and I can't wait! I have a money belt which I'll wear. Used it in Rome and it was fine. Looking forward to the food and architecture.
Thanks for making and sharing this video. You cover a lot of useful things other videos don't, e.g., that Spain is divided into many autonous zones, that there are super blocks, the bus after the subway stops running. Thanks so much.
Merci maca, Jo vaig neixa a Premia de Mar.. I live down under since the age of 14 now 76, have been back many times, I had a beautiful infancy and early teens there, Adeu, petons xxo
@@KRodCollectivemolt ben dit, també estimo Catalunya, lamentablement visc a Austràlia.. els meus viatges allà em fan feliça.. I had to learn English, lucky that I was young and I found it easy, stay well and happy in this clown world.xo
What’s the best time to visit with decent weather? Do we need to exchange money prior to visiting? Food dish recommendations? Best places to stay? Is USD dollars acceptable? Do they take debit cards? Credit cards?
Great video! Did you go to Sagrada Familia Nativity tower? If so, how many steps up did you have to go up for the Nativity tower? Did you feel claustrophobic going either up or down?
Hi there! I have been to the Nativity tower and the Passion tower but it was soooo long ago, I'd have to go again to help jog my memory. I didn't feel claustrophobic going up or down but I don't normally have an issue in tight spaces. I don't think that helped you. 😩
Thank you for watching!! Cabify!! No Uber in Barcelona. I mean, there is, but it's complicated. Cabify is the best and most commonly used. There are also a lot of cabs around. They're usually pretty reasonably priced. Just make sure you're getting in the yellow and black ones. There will be a green or red symbol on top to let you know if they are free or not. (Green if they are.) Hope this helps! 💕
My parents are older have very little travel experience, my dad has trouble walking and uses an electric wheelchair for slightly long distances (anything over 15min+ walk) they are travelling with my younger cousin and her husband. All speak Spanish. The cousins want to stay in Gothic Quarter and I'm concerned about the area thinking Lexiample may be best for the older folks. Can they take a taxi in to the Gothic Quarter daily? I'd love your thoughts.
Yes! You can take a a taxi to the Gothic Quarter, just depends on which part. But keep mind the streets are more narrow in that area. Gothic Quarter is beautiful and there is so much to do and see there. I also love Eixample and think it’s a good central location, wide sidewalks, low crime, and very clean. I hope this helps! 💕
Thank you for watching! I want to say it's around the mid 60s (around 18 C) and drops in the evening in late October, early November. Bring a jacket for the evenings. 💕
This video is fabulous and very helpful 👍🏾👌🏾 I was in Barcelona (La Rambles Mar Bella & Badalona) last September for Skate Love Barcelona A Rollerskating & Music Festival wish I'd seen this back then you give great information and tips I'm heading back again this September staying longer this time to explore and experience the culture more can't wait the beaches are fantastic 🤩
Hiii!!! Oh I'm so glad it was helpful! Wow, that festival sounds amazing and such a Barcelona thing, I love it!! September is one of the best months to be in the city! Have a great time and enjoy it! Safe travels! 💕
Thank you so much for your video! We will be in Barcelona for a night and a whole day before a cruise this May. We have never been to Barcelona, and I have booked a hotel that is in Sant Cugat. It is the Holiday Inn Express Sant Cugat, and it seems to be about a 30 min ride into the city. I booked out there due to ridiculous hotel prices the weekend we are there (a couple of concerts going on so prices are mostly in the triple digits a night). I was hoping you might have some information on the best transportation we should take into the city for sightseeing.
Hi Amy! Aww man! Yes, sometimes the hotel prices are out of control especially from around April/May to end of August. You can take the train from Sant Cugat strait into the city though. Take the FGC train line S1 or S2 I think, and you're right, should take around 30 mins or so. You can buy the tickets at the station. And it should take you directly to Plaza Catalunya. There is a great website I like to use call Rome2Rio which will show you all the transportation options you can choose from. Also, you can explore San Cugat as well. It's not as big as Barcelona, but it's pretty. I had a work colleague from there. 💕
Help it my first time in Barcelona going to spend 3 days there and also thinking of also visit Madrid and then jumping on the cruise. My question is I’m a young 65, what should I pack for 11 days 😊
Hi there! I'll be making a separate packing video for Barcelona so look out for that! Make sure to bring good walking shoes because you'll most likely be walking a lot! 💕
Hi Melanie! I’m so happy to see your comment! You’re the sweetest! I know! 😩Hoping to get on a better schedule so I can post weekly. I hope you’re doing well! 💚
I always try to exchange with my bank ahead of time. A couple weeks before my trip. This has always been the best rate that I’ve found for me personally. The airport is one of the worst, however, if you’re in a rush, it’s a good option.
Excellent information. I lived in Rota for a few months in the summer and I agree 100% on the daylight situation. It's no wonder they have blackout shutters.
I have plans to visit Barcelona this desember for few days holiday for first time and it's interesting to know there bout exploring....thanks for information 😍
Thank YOU for watching! Ooohhh September is a really good time to go! Hmm, I want to say it might be in the 70s-80s in September. I honestly can't remember. 😫So it might be nice during the day. Maybe not hot enough for lounging at the beach during the day. But the temperature might drop a little at night, but should be nice! Have so much fun in Barcelona!! 💕
About tipping: usually we do tip, but just the change, so a few cents and if you're pleased with the service maybe 1 to 2 euros, but no more, unless it is a bigger party. So, don't expect the service to be as attentive as in the US because they don't relay on tips for a living. Some people know some English, but it is British, so miscommunication may happen if you're American, also if you are native Spanish Latino speaker be prepared for miscommunication as well... Big thanks for the video you put together, good insides, and I love how much enthusiasm you put on it. Tax is already included in any price you see, except some fancy restaurants, if that's the case in the menu is going to be stated that tax not included, but it is rare.
Great video! I'll be visiting Barcelona for the first time later this month. :) This video has me even more excited now. Question for you: Any tips for getting around at night for solo female travelers? That's one thing that is still a question mark in my mind... other than to exercise general safety and vigilance. I'm thinking more about restaurants and getting food (or maybe even some evening tours), than partying, especially since dinner is so late.
Hi Laila!! YAY!! So exciting! For getting around at night as a solo female traveler, my suggestion is that if you're walking at night, stick to main streets where you see lots of people and lights. It should be okay because people are out during dinner and night time. The Spanish love being out! I don't know if you're an introvert or extrovert or open to meeting ppl, but if you are, I almost guarantee that you will meet a couple people along the way. Have so much fun!! Please let me know how it goes!! 💕
Y'know what?! I have been thinking about this for months! There are a few black and afrolatino events in the city. There is a community I follow and for some reason I cannot remember the name but I will comment again once the name comes to me. But I want to do something with this. ❤️
Thanks very Informative!! We are 2 adults and 2 kids (9yrs and 13 yrs). We love the scenic options more than the histoical monuments (Only the most popular ones). Good beaches, lovely markets spectacualr views and experiences is something we are always looking for. We are flying in Barcelona on 21st May and are there for 10 nights and flying back from Madrid. Your suggestions would mean a lot.. Thanks Rajat
Hi Rajat! Have so much fun in Barcelona! Your kiddos will love it too! I'll be making a few videos soon about the best things to do in Barcelona, especially for scenic views and experiences so look out for that. For the time being, check out my blog (linked in description). I have a few posts there. 💕
Hi Tarina! I don’t know how long your stay is but if you know you want to see all of attractions, I think it could be a good deal! I would check to see if skip the line is included. But I’m going to look into the Go City Pass. Thank you for bringing it up. 💕
Thank you for the video! I am a person in wheelchair who traveling to Barcelona for the first time! How accessible is the public transportation? Which one is more accessible for me to go from the airport to the city centre? Please advise
Hi Ali!! I'm so sorry for my late response. Thank you so much for your comment. I have been thinking a lot about this and hoping to address this and provide some information about wheelchair accessibility around the city. More on that to come. For now, I think, although I'm not positive. But I believe that airports within the EU are required to provide assistance and meeting points for assistance. Send me an email (my email address is in the description box) and I can send you more information about it. Hopefully I'm not too late. 💕
@@KRodCollective that's would be very helpful! I am looking forward to learning more about how accessible the city is and to more resources. Thank you for your time ❤️
Such a great job! I can’t wait to go! Thanks for being informative and energetic! Do you have any recommendations for the outlet converters? I have to work (from my laptop) while I’m there and want to make sure I have the best plug possible where I can also charge my phone. Also, wondering if I can work from cafés or any beach-view restaurants during the afternoons (2pm or later Barcelona time). Thank you!
Hi Alyssa! Yes, there are a lot of cafes that you can work from during the day. I have a list of great coffee shops on my blog. I'm not too sure about the beach view though as I think a lot of the beach restaurants may not have wifi for working but you can always walk down there and see if they'll let you chill for a bit. As far as the converters, the voltage is 230 and F sockets. I like to use the easy 2 prong adapters for my phone because they're so easy and light. For my laptop, I like to use the bigger universal ones. I may have a link in the description box. If not, send me a message and I'll send you a pic or link of what I use. Also thinking of making a separate video for packing for Barcelona so stay tuned for that. Have a great time! It's a gem of a city! 💕
Hi Alyssa! You sent me a message on IG right? I feel like I remember seeing it and I was in the middle of something and said "I'm going to come back to this so I can give a proper response." But then I went back and didn't see it. But maybe I'm making this all up? I'm so sorry!! The past couple of months have been so busy for me and I've had a lot on my plate. Do you still need help? Did you get the right plug? I'm so sorry I took so long. 😩
Hi! I am going in Barcelona in 3 Weeks. Do you recommend the pass Card for métro (31€ for 4 days) or buying ticket ? I am not going to leave the city and my hostels is near the sagrada Familia!

Regarding pickpocketing concerns, can you get by with just credit cards in Barcelona?
Absolutely!! For the most part.
Was in Madrid in Oct. '22 with my brother and a friend of mine. That friend is a great guy and makes a good amount of money and likes to tip very hard in the US. While we knew tipping wasn't too much of a thing in Spain, my friend continued his hard tipping just because its something he likes to do, partly because he used to work in the service industry.

Hi Arnbjörn!! Thank you! Iceland is on my bucket list! 💕💕
I signed up to receive your food guide but never received an email, can you please list the places?
Oh no! I'm so sorry! I'll have to look into how/why that happened. 🤔 Can you send me an email at Kim(at)Krodcollective.com and I'll send it right now.
@ ok luv I will email you now x
@@begee5847 Sent!! Thank you for reaching out. Enjoy Barcelona! 💕
Thank you so much for your video! We will be in Barcelona for a night and a whole day before a cruise this May. We have never been to Barcelona, and I have booked a hotel that is in Sant Cugat. It is the Holiday Inn Express Sant Cugat, and it seems to be about a 30 min ride into the city. I booked out there due to ridiculous hotel prices the weekend we are there (a couple of concerts going on so prices are mostly in the triple digits a night). I was hoping you might have some information on the best transportation we should take into the city for sightseeing.
Hi Amy! Aww man! Yes, sometimes the hotel prices are out of control especially from around April/May to end of August. You can take the train from Sant Cugat strait into the city though. Take the FGC train line S1 or S2 I think, and you're right, should take around 30 mins or so. You can buy the tickets at the station. And it should take you directly to Plaza Catalunya. There is a great website I like to use call Rome2Rio which will show you all the transportation options you can choose from. Also, you can explore San Cugat as well. It's not as big as Barcelona, but it's pretty. I had a work colleague from there. 💕
@@KRodCollective Thank you so much for you reply!
Help it my first time in Barcelona going to spend 3 days there and also thinking of also visit Madrid and then jumping on the cruise. My question is I’m a young 65, what should I pack for 11 days 😊
Hi there! I'll be making a separate packing video for Barcelona so look out for that! Make sure to bring good walking shoes because you'll most likely be walking a lot! 💕
Thanks for the info! Would you have any ideas how I can store my bike for 1 week in Barcelona?
maybe, try asking one of the hostels.....they are usually flexible and open to travellers' needs :)
Oooohhh that’s a good question. Maybe try a luggage/short term storage place? Are you staying at a hotel? I wonder if they can store it for you? 🤔
Hey Kim, I've been looking for you. I hope all is well. Miss you
Hi Melanie! I’m so happy to see your comment! You’re the sweetest! I know! 😩Hoping to get on a better schedule so I can post weekly. I hope you’re doing well! 💚
Going to visit next year in February
YAY!! I hope you enjoy it!! 💕
Thanks for the tips queen!
🥰Thank YOU for watching! 💕
In Barcelona
where do you go to get the best exchange rate in barcelona?
I always try to exchange with my bank ahead of time. A couple weeks before my trip. This has always been the best rate that I’ve found for me personally. The airport is one of the worst, however, if you’re in a rush, it’s a good option.
Excellent information. I lived in Rota for a few months in the summer and I agree 100% on the daylight situation. It's no wonder they have blackout shutters.
Haha right?! I’m glad it’s not just me. The blackout curtains are fabulous! Thank you for watching, Kat! 💕
I have plans to visit Barcelona this desember for few days holiday for first time and it's interesting to know there bout exploring....thanks for information 😍
Hi Joelian! I hope you are having fun in Barcelona! Happy and safe travels to you! 💕
Thanks for this! Going at end of Sept and wondering if I should pack summer clothes?
Thank YOU for watching! Ooohhh September is a really good time to go! Hmm, I want to say it might be in the 70s-80s in September. I honestly can't remember. 😫So it might be nice during the day. Maybe not hot enough for lounging at the beach during the day. But the temperature might drop a little at night, but should be nice! Have so much fun in Barcelona!! 💕
Thank you for your Tipps. We made it👍 It was amazing
Hi Uwe! Oh awesome! I hope y’all had so much fun!! 💕
@@KRodCollective See you on our chanel. And we give you more inspiration. Best wishes Siri and Uwe
I am going to Barcelona for four days. Would you recommend to stay in Eixample or gothic quarter? 🇪🇸 ❤
Hi!! Eixample! Just my opinion though. 💕
Hi, I stayed in the gothic quarter but I visited Eixample amongst other places and I really preferred Eixample out of all 🇪🇸😊
About tipping: usually we do tip, but just the change, so a few cents and if you're pleased with the service maybe 1 to 2 euros, but no more, unless it is a bigger party. So, don't expect the service to be as attentive as in the US because they don't relay on tips for a living. Some people know some English, but it is British, so miscommunication may happen if you're American, also if you are native Spanish Latino speaker be prepared for miscommunication as well...
Big thanks for the video you put together, good insides, and I love how much enthusiasm you put on it.
Tax is already included in any price you see, except some fancy restaurants, if that's the case in the menu is going to be stated that tax not included, but it is rare.
MUCHAS GRACIAS!! These are such true and great tips! Thank you so much for sharing. Un abrazo! 💕
I leave for Barcelona soon and I can't wait! Thanks for the tips
YAY!! That's so exciting! I hope you have a great trip! 💕
Great video! I'll be visiting Barcelona for the first time later this month. :) This video has me even more excited now. Question for you: Any tips for getting around at night for solo female travelers? That's one thing that is still a question mark in my mind... other than to exercise general safety and vigilance. I'm thinking more about restaurants and getting food (or maybe even some evening tours), than partying, especially since dinner is so late.
Hi Laila!! YAY!! So exciting! For getting around at night as a solo female traveler, my suggestion is that if you're walking at night, stick to main streets where you see lots of people and lights. It should be okay because people are out during dinner and night time. The Spanish love being out! I don't know if you're an introvert or extrovert or open to meeting ppl, but if you are, I almost guarantee that you will meet a couple people along the way. Have so much fun!! Please let me know how it goes!! 💕
Hey Laila! I'm also going to be in Barcelona as solo female traveler next month and I'm interested in your experience :)
Avoid at ALL COST La Rambla at night, specially if you travel solo. 2 stanbings last weekend there
Are there meet up groups you would recommended for travellers or Blk travellers?
Y'know what?! I have been thinking about this for months! There are a few black and afrolatino events in the city. There is a community I follow and for some reason I cannot remember the name but I will comment again once the name comes to me. But I want to do something with this. ❤️
Do you know if there is still no Uber at all? Uber app shows them as available.
Yeah, it’s complicated. It might show that but I would use Cabify or Free Now. 💕
Thanks. I never heard of Cabify but Il check it out. @@KRodCollective
At least 10 yrs ago it was pretty safe as I remember walking all over Barcelona sometimes waste and high
It’s still safe, just a lot of pickpockets.
Thanks very Informative!! We are 2 adults and 2 kids (9yrs and 13 yrs). We love the scenic options more than the histoical monuments (Only the most popular ones). Good beaches, lovely markets spectacualr views and experiences is something we are always looking for. We are flying in Barcelona on 21st May and are there for 10 nights and flying back from Madrid. Your suggestions would mean a lot.. Thanks Rajat
Hi Rajat! Have so much fun in Barcelona! Your kiddos will love it too! I'll be making a few videos soon about the best things to do in Barcelona, especially for scenic views and experiences so look out for that. For the time being, check out my blog (linked in description). I have a few posts there. 💕
Hi do you or does anyone recommend the go city all inclusive pass where all attractions are included?
Hi Tarina! I don’t know how long your stay is but if you know you want to see all of attractions, I think it could be a good deal! I would check to see if skip the line is included. But I’m going to look into the Go City Pass. Thank you for bringing it up. 💕
Is there a particular app for metros ?
Cabify or Free Now
Thank you for the video! I am a person in wheelchair who traveling to Barcelona for the first time! How accessible is the public transportation? Which one is more accessible for me to go from the airport to the city centre?
Please advise
Hi Ali!! I'm so sorry for my late response. Thank you so much for your comment. I have been thinking a lot about this and hoping to address this and provide some information about wheelchair accessibility around the city. More on that to come. For now, I think, although I'm not positive. But I believe that airports within the EU are required to provide assistance and meeting points for assistance. Send me an email (my email address is in the description box) and I can send you more information about it. Hopefully I'm not too late. 💕
@@KRodCollective that's would be very helpful! I am looking forward to learning more about how accessible the city is and to more resources. Thank you for your time ❤️
Such a great job! I can’t wait to go! Thanks for being informative and energetic! Do you have any recommendations for the outlet converters? I have to work (from my laptop) while I’m there and want to make sure I have the best plug possible where I can also charge my phone. Also, wondering if I can work from cafés or any beach-view restaurants during the afternoons (2pm or later Barcelona time). Thank you!
Hi Alyssa! Yes, there are a lot of cafes that you can work from during the day. I have a list of great coffee shops on my blog. I'm not too sure about the beach view though as I think a lot of the beach restaurants may not have wifi for working but you can always walk down there and see if they'll let you chill for a bit. As far as the converters, the voltage is 230 and F sockets. I like to use the easy 2 prong adapters for my phone because they're so easy and light. For my laptop, I like to use the bigger universal ones. I may have a link in the description box. If not, send me a message and I'll send you a pic or link of what I use. Also thinking of making a separate video for packing for Barcelona so stay tuned for that. Have a great time! It's a gem of a city! 💕
@@KRodCollective thank you so much!
@@alysssawrites No problem! You're gonna have such a great time! Love this for you! Just be careful with your stuff!💕
Hi Alyssa! You sent me a message on IG right? I feel like I remember seeing it and I was in the middle of something and said "I'm going to come back to this so I can give a proper response." But then I went back and didn't see it. But maybe I'm making this all up? I'm so sorry!! The past couple of months have been so busy for me and I've had a lot on my plate. Do you still need help? Did you get the right plug? I'm so sorry I took so long. 😩
Hi! I am going in Barcelona in 3 Weeks. Do you recommend the pass Card for métro (31€ for 4 days) or buying ticket ? I am not going to leave the city and my hostels is near the sagrada Familia!
Hi!! I'm so sorry for the late response. I hope you had an amazing time in Barcelona! 💕
