Barcelona is truly magical. One thing i suggest is avoiding the beach in barcelona, which gets very crowded in july-august, hop on a train and head north for like 30min or so, any town is great, they are all beautiful (some more than others). And if you want the best beaches of catalonia, go to costa brava, which is a bit further north from barcelona. Have a laid back day, have local food in a restaurant in front of the sea, and a couple of beers or sangrias. The train is very cheap in spain. I appreciate your comments on being respectful to the locals:) i personally never are in barcelona in the summer months, our city gets taken over by tourists😜 If you are reading this and going to barcelona soon, definitely try to be in barcelona on the 23rd of April!! It is st Jordi's day (the patron of catalonia) and the streets are filled with book stands and rose stands, i really recommend going there on this day. Have a stroll down las ramblas or even better in la rambla de catalunya a, and buy a rose to your beloved one (this day is our version of valentines day). Lastly, try and learn a couple of catalan words, i get very happy when tourists try to talk in catalan, not spanish, even if they arent good at it. Just saying things like bona nit (good night) bon dia (good morning) gràcies (thank you) de res (you're welcome) etc. I hope you like my city!
+Jordi Ventura really appreciate your long, detailed and heartfelt comment Jordi. We love you City and always feel welcome when we visit. Thanks for the extra tips and hope to visit again soon!!! 🙏🏼
vagabrothers of course! Maybe you could film a video talking about catalonia and our traditions, and how they differ from spanish ones, and how we want independence when you go back. If you do so, a great day would be on September 11th, our national day, youll see a massive demonstration take place😜
+Jordi Ventura totally agree! I really like Spain, but I love Catalunya even more!! And Catalan, es molt bè😊!! Only been to Catalunya once nearly 3 years, but I fell in love with it!! Annoying thing is some guide books say Catalans are unfriendly: not the case at all!! Try a few bits of Catalan (not Spanish, definitely not in cities like Girona), as they are some of the nicest people you'll meet☺. I can't wait to go back, rather than always seeing València province (nice city and area, but nothing as great as Barna of Cat😊😊)
As someone who has been born and raised in Barcelona, it made me so happy to see you talking about the problem we have with the tourists... really, here's so many people who leave their manners at home when they travel here. Thank you. Visca Catalunya!
+Maria Peñaloza Henriksen Bon Dia Maria, we were super bummed to hear about the problem in Barcelona. Least we can do is remind people to be polite when they travel. Any tips you can add from a locals perspective?!
Bon dia Marko i Alex! The best tip I can add is just to get lost in the streets of my beautiful town and try to stay away from the touristed places. Talk with the locals, we still love travelers, must of us have a work thanks to them. Then you'll find the hidden treasures of the city and you'll love it.
Maria Peñaloza Henriksen Don’t worry. I’m a quiet tourist (I’m usually asleep by 11 pm). It looks like a very lovely city (I really have to book a cruise there; I’m an educational-cruise person, not a party-cruise person.)
I travelled to Barcelona all the way from India to watch Fc Barcelona play at the Camp Nou. It was a dream come true. Singing the club anthem with the locals in Catalan and then watching the team thrash the opponents 6-1, with goals from Messi, Neymar , Suarez and Rakitic was something I had only dreamt of until then. I spent the rest of the week exploring the historical,cultural and gastronomical aspects of the city which are abundant. It was the best week of my life.
I lived in Barcelona for a month last year & 100% fell in love with the city. My biggest tip would just be to walk around without a map and no particular destination in mind. If you're into street art just walk through Gracia or walk into one of the small streets at the right side of the Ramblas. And eat lots of Paella. If you feel like ice cream buy it in the supermarkets not trucks on the streets as it is a lot cheaper. Oh also for breakfast (or at any time of the day really) try chocolate pastries from the bakeries, they are super delicious and very cheap
Helo! Lol I know I’m late but can you suggest me a good place to buy some pastries maybe near the Gothic Quarter cuz I’m going there in a few weeks and I know there are many good places where locals shop but there are also bad one where only tourists who don’t know what’s good go!Gracies ❤️
Montserrat mountains &monastary just a 45mins drive from Barcelona for those that love hiking, magnificent views of Catalan's landscape. worth going on a daytrip. loved it
I visited Barcelona for just one day on my whirlwind tour of europe and Barcelona was by far my most favorite stop. The thing that tipped the scales was my private motorcycle sidecar tour of the city by brightside tours. The most cool thing about this amazing tour was i was traveling with my 2 adult daughters who rode together on a second motorcycle with their own guide. The helmets had a communcation system connected to the driver so even though we travelled together to the same locations, they got a completely different perspective based on their interests and conversations with their driver. During our 2-1/2 hour customized tour of the city, we visited the ramblas, the gothic section, the familia, the olympic park, and the gaudi house (sorry its been a few years, so the exact names escape me). The (2) tours were very affordable and well worth the expense because we were able to see so much more of the city and learn about the history, culture, architecture, and current events. Something we would not have been able to do bumbling around in traffic using a gps and a guidebook. The other thing I loved, and learned from my guide is the weather is always perfect with only 3 or 4 days per year of less than exceptional weather. So chances are, whenever you visit, the weather is going to be as beautiful as the city itself.
I went to Barcelona this past month and if the weather is nice I totally recommend packing a lunch/dinner and sitting in Parc Ciutadella. It's a great way to save money and meet locals. (it's especially beautiful at sunset!)
Love that you guys give a little history when talking about new places. Very important! Hope you guys had a good time in Wales, and hope you have a better time in Germany!
Vaga Brothers! I don't think you two hear this enough so I'd just like to say that I truly admire the hard work you put into these videos! You have great camera quality, superb travel advice, thoughtful comments and always put a smile on my face! In my opinion your channel is a hidden gem in the youtube community! You deserve all the success! Xo
oh yes do come. make sure the explore the mountains and the inner country cities in Transylvania like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu.....and the Danube Delta's a nice and relaxing place, also Bucharest is cool in september
vagabrothers Yes, Catalunya is amazing and I hope to keep seeing more of it this spring! In Romania, I recommend a few of the places that I visited and loved: Oradea -a little town close to the Hungarian border with some really nice Art Nouveau arquitecture, Sighisoara - a cute medieval town, Sibiu - a town of German heritage with great ambiance, Brasov - amazing mountain city, also with strong German influence in its aquitecture. As for natural landscapes, Balea Lake in the Charpetian Mountains is breathtaking, also the Danube River Delta or the Iron Gates gorge!
You guys keep making killer content. You have gotten me so excited for travelling! I have about 75 days with the girlfriend through Europe, and then another 2-3-4 months by myself, wherever life takes me!
It might be because I am Iberoamerican, but of all the European cities I've visited lately, no other city had left me with such a big desire to visit again than Barcelona. Thanks for the video, it definitely brought great memories.
Man, that's a hard question, since everything felt so familiar to me. Parc Güell was great for the views, Gràcia was very distinctive to me. Carrer de Blai was like being in Madrid and to my good surprise I found really awesome vegetarian restaurants in town. Perhaps the biggest surprise was to find by accident a huge flea market near Pobleneu full of antique art, and the trip to Monserrat was almost an espiritual experience, you guys should go if you haven't! Saludos!
I'm really glad you guys mentioned the importance of being respectful as a foreigner! As an American who travels, I've come across several European natives who expect me to be loud and rude like many other American tourists they have seen. Don't perpetuate the stereotype!
You guys have shown the spirit of Barcelona like it deserves! Not like Devin Supertramp in their last video full of spanish topics and flags that don't represent our culture. You rock!!
You guys definitely hit all the top spots!! I would recommend renting a bike while you're there super cheap and easy way to get around, see the city and even get a little exercise. None the less an awesome video for Barcelona. Beautiful City
Perfect timing guys. Going to Barcelona with a couple of friends in the end of April and we're collecting tips for places to go. I really want to see Gaudi park and with this video, I'm finally going to be able to put some of your advice in practice. I'm also loving your packing tips, I'm never actually traveled without family so it's super helpful to get some tips from people that I've seen most of the globe. Keep up the good work.
+Ana Carvalho great to hear Ana!! Are you from Brazil or Portugal?? Hope you have a good trip!! You will love BCN and we have more packing videos on the way so stay tuned and turn on notifications :)
vagabrothers Hey guys. From Portugal actually, so not a very long journey but it will be a good trip to get my feet wet. I think that Alex already visit Portugal, so you should came back with Marko. It would be great to see Portugal from your point of view. Or Alex could bring Carrie and make it a romantic but adventurous trip. Will stay tuned for new content! And as we say in Portugal, um abraço para vocês! =)
Hi guys! I have to admit that I really love how you end your video. I'm not from BCN but I have been living here for more than 10 years and I work at Travel Industry. And is really true what you mention. People here are a bit frustrated about tourism and this "tip" surprise me in a good way. Like and share! ✌🏻 Peace!
I'm from Barcelona and I loved the video. Pretty good travel guide, but there are so many other things to see other than what you guys told. And thanks for the commentary on tourists being respectful, there has been quite a few problems lately with this. Just to let you know, you have a supporter here from Barcelona! Keep doing what you do, love your videos.
I went to Barcelona this Feb and fell in love with the city. Great time to visit there... Not very cold and very less crowded... Infact, beach was warm and pleasant...
Barcelona is for my one of the coolest and more beautiful cities in Europe! Thanks for recommending a respectful travel, it wil be better for everybody :)
Very good guys, we are an international motorcycle tour operator and Barcelona will be one of our new arrival and departure cities for 2018. We've scouted it ourselves and you've nailed a couple of things we insist on and also had some other really good ideas. Looking forward to drinking the tinto again and cheering for BARCA!
vagabrothers I'm there for 10 days so I should be able to get most of them donee 👋 Taking the train to eventually end up in Amsterdam so if you happen to have any new videos on that hit that upload button ! ahah Love these kinds of videos, always add em to a playlist of future adventures ✌
i will be there 2nd of April! can't wait!!! :) great upload timing as i haven't look what to do there before...i'm also trying to be successful surfer on couchsurfing.org but seems like i don't have enough luck, maybe airbnb is better option!
I loved this so much! I'm Catalan and I moved to Barcelona a couple months ago for Uni and I'm in love with this city. You've definitely recommended some of the best places, but I'd like to recommend four more if you come back: The first one is the "Parc de la Ciutadella" (which is a lovely park), "Jardins de mossèn Costa i Llobera" which is a very cool garden to take pictures in because it's filled with cactuses, my favourite neighbourhood "El Born" (great for food and drinks) and finally, the views from in front of the MNAC (which is the national art museum of Catalonia) because you can see all of Barcelona (also, behind it there is the Olympic Village and Palau Sant Jordi were they do the most important concerts).
Love your videos! How you guys haven't been picked up by a cable network is beyond me. Anthony Bourdain, Rick Steves and Vagabros are my go tos for travel shows. But there is no way you can't go inside the Sagrada Familia while in Barcelona! No street selfie. Haha. Keep up the great work!
Iv'e been to Barcelona twice now, and it's by far one of my favorite cities in all of Europe. Thanks so muc for this list, I will definetly use it the next time I visit.
Went to Barcelona last year. I would also recommend some amazing day trips such as Tarragona and Montserrat. Both less crowded, with beautiful site and amazing history!
It was lovely, you can listen to the children's choir and hike the trail (or take the cable cart) for some breath taking views. I like city travel, but I always feel you can learn a lot about a place outside the major cities.
I've lived in Barcelona and been there countless times ☀️ all your tips are ones that I share with friends as well. Before having tapas in Carrer de Blai, take a walk up Montjuïc and enjoy the beautiful view of the city! And, it's a great exercise since you will be consuming more than enough tapas and cava in Barcelona! I will be visiting for a week in April myself 👌
I was there in October. We saw an amazing champion league game in Camp Nou. Barca is amazing! Tip: there is a great, maybe the best, tapas bar in Eixample (only locals) Cerveseria Catalana. Great tapas.
Definitely a Barca Fan! #ForcaBarca. I loved Barcelona. Such a great city. I did 8 out of the 10 you mentioned. Wooh! I feel accomplished lol. Another great thing to try is a Flamenco dance show.
Thanks so much for bringing up the concerns that citizens of Barcelona are having with some of douchebag tourists. For the most part, tourists are respectful and they're an important factor in Barcelona's economy. Learn the culture, learn the history and have respect. You two are the most conscientious of the issues and history of this beautiful city I call home. Thanks!
I visited Barcelona last December. Amazing place!! One of the best in Europe. I was able to see most of the spots mentioned. Also, Tibidabo and MontJuic are great sites to explore and you get breathtaking view of the city. Luckily, I will be in Barcelona for a month in July, so will try and see some of the places I missed!! Thanks for the video guys. Always great stuff 👌🏼
Thank you guys for acknowledging Barcelona's tourist problem. Is really important for us that people understand that even though we love tourists and our economy thrives on tourism, Barcelona is NOT a place to just do whatever you want, this city is home for a lot of people and we do not wish to live in a filthy, noisy 24/7 party home. I love your videos!! keep it up :) Ps: skip the overrated Barceloneta, take a Cercanias train and head to Sitges.
I reaaaallly want to go to Barcelona. I love Spanish/Latin culture so much. It intrigues me and makes me feel so cozy, I don’t know why. I hope to visit here some day.
Hey vagabrothers you forget some important things in barcelona... montmeló circuit, tibidabo mountain where you can see all the city , montjuic is also very spectacular and poble espanyol !!! One hug! I like your videos vagabrothers no dejeis de hacer videos , son muy interesantes !
Nice overview. I've been to Barcelona last year and hit most of the places you've described but it's always nice to somebody else's perspective and relive the memories from that brilliant city :)
I went there last November, it was charming as usual! I almost covered all your recommendations, now I'm going to berlin, for business then Switzerland and Sweden, any recommendations? things not to miss also about the best way to travel around those places! thank you Vagabrothers!
Some decent tips, and good to see you know Carrer del Blai, good options on there and close by. And yes the menu del dia can be great value, one of the best is the cafe/restaurant at the Maritime museum.
I went to Barcelona a month ago and a place I really enjoyed visiting was the "Tibidabo" theme park at the top of a mountain. The views of the city were amazing and the trip to the park was so cool, you get there by funicular! Also, near the park there's a very beautiful and (in my opinion) very odd church. However, I don't recommend going when it's windy (talking from my experience!)
Hell yes. Going to be in Barca for Festa Major de Gracia in 2017 and had no idea that festival even existed. Perfect trip if I can get tickets to Camp Nou for a football match.
Parc Guell is free from 6-8am - and you will have the park virtually to yourself. Perfect place to watch the sun come up and get photos without all the tourists
I traveled to Barcelona last summer and love it and btw FC Barcelona team!!!! and i highly recommend watching a live game at camp nou, even if you re not a football fan ull love it
Snap squad! On Saturday I leave for my spring break from university and will be spending a few days in Montreal. I watched your past videos on the city for inspiration!
I spent there three months. A Great place! The best time to travel there is from September. They light up the xmas lights in the end of October and it is so beautiful 😍 summertime - don't go! Crowded!
We’re going to Barcelona for a short 4 days the weekend of February 14th. We already booked tours to La Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlio, Montjuic hill, waterfront, and Monserrat. Staying at Novotel hotel. Any suggestions within walking distance (I.e, restaurants, things to do and shopping) will be appreciated
I lived in Barcelona for the past two years. When my friends would visit, I would always bring them to Casa Batllo, and walk them through the different neighborhoods, pointing out the architectural differences that distinguish each one. And - when tourist season hit - I would take them on the half hour train ride to the beautiful beach town of Sitges (easier to get to than Costa Brava, and better in my opinion - a scandalous opinion to have, I know! ;) ).
Spain is a really beautiful country, I went there in 2015 and have so many good memories! You guys should also visit Zaragoza, Madrid and Valencia. Really nice cities with some nice bars and restaurants and a lot of other places to visit.

It's the least we can do. We love Barcelona and Cataluyna and want to help support responsible and respectful tourism. :)
Vagabrothers,where you from?

Real madrid pussies
I’m Japanese. I’m going to Barcelona next year. After watching this video I’m really excited for my trip. I will try to visit these places. Thank you!
You'll love it ❤

Maria Peñaloza Henriksen Don’t worry. I’m a quiet tourist (I’m usually asleep by 11 pm). It looks like a very lovely city (I really have to book a cruise there; I’m an educational-cruise person, not a party-cruise person.)

Six years old, and still the perfect video to send to my boys ages 19 and 20 before I take them to Barcelona for the first time!

Montserrat mountains &monastary just a 45mins drive from Barcelona for those that love hiking, magnificent views of Catalan's landscape. worth going on a daytrip. loved it
+Grace Tsiga yah we have been out there but didn't do the hike. Really want to!! The pictures are insane from up there
Watching this while in Barcelona for 4 days , one of the most beautiful cities i have even been to .

Barcelona best city in Spain. I love El Born area, cocktails, small boutiques, great bars, great atmosphere. A gem
Going to Europe with my older brother for 10 weeks .... we can’t get enough of your videos
I've just come back from my Erasmus experience in Barcelona and what can I say.. best 6 months of my life!!

Thank you Katherine!!! We love that our videos can help hold you over and hopefully inspire future trips!! Where are you tuning in from?
vagabrothers Nowhere too exciting. I'm from Indiana which is why I love traveling and getting to see different areas 😂
You guys are an inspiration to all of us still small travel TH-camrs. Keep up with your good work!
Very good guys, we are an international motorcycle tour operator and Barcelona will be one of our new arrival and departure cities for 2018. We've scouted it ourselves and you've nailed a couple of things we insist on and also had some other really good ideas. Looking forward to drinking the tinto again and cheering for BARCA!
LITERALLY couldn't of come at a better time guys,
leaving for barcelona in 2 weeks ✌
AWESOME!!! What's the plan dude? Any of our recommendations going to make it into your schedule??
goose t That's fate! I see great VAGADRUNK status coming your way. #DatCavaThough 🍷👍
vagabrothers I'm there for 10 days so I should be able to get most of them donee 👋
Taking the train to eventually end up in Amsterdam so if you happen to have any new videos on that hit that upload button ! ahah
Love these kinds of videos, always add em to a playlist of future adventures ✌
goose t weird, I'm going to Barcelona and Amsterdam in 2 weeks as well!!! 😍
i will be there 2nd of April! can't wait!!! :) great upload timing as i haven't look what to do there before...i'm also trying to be successful surfer on couchsurfing.org but seems like i don't have enough luck, maybe airbnb is better option!
Booked my flight to Barcelona just 3 days ago, this video is right on time!
+Laura Geißendörfer nice one!! When do you go Laura?? Got any of our recommendations planned??
vagabrothers At the beginning of June, so I still have quite a lot of time to plan. Will definitely be taking your recommendations into account. 😊
I loved this so much! I'm Catalan and I moved to Barcelona a couple months ago for Uni and I'm in love with this city.
You've definitely recommended some of the best places, but I'd like to recommend four more if you come back: The first one is the "Parc de la Ciutadella" (which is a lovely park), "Jardins de mossèn Costa i Llobera" which is a very cool garden to take pictures in because it's filled with cactuses, my favourite neighbourhood "El Born" (great for food and drinks) and finally, the views from in front of the MNAC (which is the national art museum of Catalonia) because you can see all of Barcelona (also, behind it there is the Olympic Village and Palau Sant Jordi were they do the most important concerts).
Madrid!! of course! great video guys!
I'm from Barcelona and the video was great!!!! And thanks for advising tourists to be respectful!!! :D
Love your videos! How you guys haven't been picked up by a cable network is beyond me. Anthony Bourdain, Rick Steves and Vagabros are my go tos for travel shows. But there is no way you can't go inside the Sagrada Familia while in Barcelona! No street selfie. Haha. Keep up the great work!
perfect timing guys, I just landed in Barcelona. I was actually looking for good places to eat and for Tapas, so thanks!!!
+Departing with Alan enjoy!!!
Iv'e been to Barcelona twice now, and it's by far one of my favorite cities in all of Europe. Thanks so muc for this list, I will definetly use it the next time I visit.
Went to Barcelona last year. I would also recommend some amazing day trips such as Tarragona and Montserrat. Both less crowded, with beautiful site and amazing history!
We haven't been to Montserrat but it looks so beautiful. How was it Shannon?
It was lovely, you can listen to the children's choir and hike the trail (or take the cable cart) for some breath taking views. I like city travel, but I always feel you can learn a lot about a place outside the major cities.
Shannon Alyssa I will be there in August..really want to go on the cable cart....thanks for the info
I've lived in Barcelona and been there countless times ☀️ all your tips are ones that I share with friends as well. Before having tapas in Carrer de Blai, take a walk up Montjuïc and enjoy the beautiful view of the city! And, it's a great exercise since you will be consuming more than enough tapas and cava in Barcelona! I will be visiting for a week in April myself 👌
Epic vid guys. Thank you so much.
Ahh this brings back memories of my summer working in Spain! Such a beautiful city, would love to go back
+Malak Sherif yah it's a great city! Where in Spain did you work Malak???
+Malak Sherif yah it's a great city! Where in Spain did you work Malak???
Madrid! :)
Barcelona is so beautiful!! I wish I could live there...
Living in Barcelona is on all creative people's bucket list. Such great vibes! Have you been before Angela?
I was there in October. We saw an amazing champion league game in Camp Nou. Barca is amazing! Tip: there is a great, maybe the best, tapas bar in Eixample (only locals) Cerveseria Catalana. Great tapas.
Views of Barcelona from Tibidabo or the rooftop of Cathedral of Barcelona are amazing!
One of my favorite places in the world!! Great video guys!
+Ladan Abdi thank you Ladarius!!!
I love Barcelona. It's one of my favourite places. 😍 I'd love to travel there again..
Definitely a Barca Fan! #ForcaBarca.
I loved Barcelona. Such a great city. I did 8 out of the 10 you mentioned. Wooh! I feel accomplished lol. Another great thing to try is a Flamenco dance show.
I loved my time in Barcelona. Excited to go back this June!
+Osvaldo Rico Enjoy!
+Osvaldo Rico nice!!! What do you have planned for this next trip??
Thanks so much for bringing up the concerns that citizens of Barcelona are having with some of douchebag tourists. For the most part, tourists are respectful and they're an important factor in Barcelona's economy. Learn the culture, learn the history and have respect. You two are the most conscientious of the issues and history of this beautiful city I call home. Thanks!
I'm visiting Barcelona in October. I'll be staying in the Gothic Quarter. Can't wait. Great video. Thanks.
+LittleMissGemTravels have fun you'll love it!
I visited Barcelona last December. Amazing place!! One of the best in Europe. I was able to see most of the spots mentioned. Also, Tibidabo and MontJuic are great sites to explore and you get breathtaking view of the city. Luckily, I will be in Barcelona for a month in July, so will try and see some of the places I missed!! Thanks for the video guys. Always great stuff 👌🏼
Awesome video Vagabrothers!
Thanks Kit!! Have you been to Barcelona before???
I wish! Too poor to afford many trips during my education 😜
im going to barcelona in the end of april, this video came at the right time
+kimberley awesome!! Have you been before Kimberley?? It's such a great city!!
nope never been there, its also my first time traveling without parents!
Great video guys!! So helpful!! Thanks!
Love your videos guys! You guys inspire me to travel more. Spain is definitely my next European trip!
+Carlos Dueñas muchas gracias Carlos!! Hope you get to explore Spain soon!!
I love Barcelona! Now of course I want to go back and do this list!
"So book your tickets online If you want that perfect Tinder profile pic" LOL
+Brenda Morales modern priorities 😂
You guys are the best travel guides!
I'm going this summer, perfect timing!!!✈✈✈
+Piscoandmartinis you're going to really really love it!! 😊
thank you so much for your mention about being respectfull while visiting... it has been a big problem for us for a long time. big thumbs up!
+gerard romay planas it's the least we can do Gerard. We love BCN :)
Great video guys
@vagabrothers I'm hitchhiking to Barcelona tomorrow!! I'll definitely try to remember some of these spots! cheers !!
+darkpaladin601a1 haha no way!! So cool! Where are you hitch hiking from??? Good luck!!
vagabrothers thanks guys! I'm going from Montpellier (south of France) *fingers crossed* haha
+darkpaladin601a1 so nice!! Have you been before? It looks so pretty!
Thank you guys for acknowledging Barcelona's tourist problem. Is really important for us that people understand that even though we love tourists and our economy thrives on tourism, Barcelona is NOT a place to just do whatever you want, this city is home for a lot of people and we do not wish to live in a filthy, noisy 24/7 party home.
I love your videos!! keep it up :)
Ps: skip the overrated Barceloneta, take a Cercanias train and head to Sitges.
I reaaaallly want to go to Barcelona. I love Spanish/Latin culture so much. It intrigues me and makes me feel so cozy, I don’t know why. I hope to visit here some day.
Hey vagabrothers you forget some important things in barcelona... montmeló circuit, tibidabo mountain where you can see all the city , montjuic is also very spectacular and poble espanyol !!! One hug! I like your videos vagabrothers no dejeis de hacer videos , son muy interesantes !
Nice overview. I've been to Barcelona last year and hit most of the places you've described but it's always nice to somebody else's perspective and relive the memories from that brilliant city :)
oooh, Barcelona, my favorite city in Europe, love the video, it just made me wanna go back, thank you guys, you nailed it !!!
+Maaz Salih thanks Maaz! Glad you enjoyed it. When did you go? Hit any of the things we recommended?
I went there last November, it was charming as usual! I almost covered all your recommendations, now I'm going to berlin, for business then Switzerland and Sweden, any recommendations? things not to miss also about the best way to travel around those places! thank you Vagabrothers!
Some decent tips, and good to see you know Carrer del Blai, good options on there and close by. And yes the menu del dia can be great value, one of the best is the cafe/restaurant at the Maritime museum.
I've been to Barcelona two times. Not my favorite city but it's a really cool city, and you've convered up pretty much everything in this video
+Mhamed Kasasni nice!! What didn't you like about it??
I went to Barcelona a month ago and a place I really enjoyed visiting was the "Tibidabo" theme park at the top of a mountain. The views of the city were amazing and the trip to the park was so cool, you get there by funicular! Also, near the park there's a very beautiful and (in my opinion) very odd church. However, I don't recommend going when it's windy (talking from my experience!)
Hell yes. Going to be in Barca for Festa Major de Gracia in 2017 and had no idea that festival even existed. Perfect trip if I can get tickets to Camp Nou for a football match.
btw... FREE SUNDAYS at Picasso Museum in Barcelona ;)
Omg is that for real ?! Alllll sundays?!
Is this true?? Going soon !
U from Barcelona ?
These are so cool! I can't wait to travel there!
+Sundaze Adventure cheers!! Hope you get to go soon!
Parc Guell is free from 6-8am - and you will have the park virtually to yourself. Perfect place to watch the sun come up and get photos without all the tourists
I'm actually on Barcelona right now so timing couldn't be better! Thanks!
How perfect!! Do you live there or are you traveling Lucía??? Hope you enjoy beautiful Barcelona! How long are you there?
I traveled to Barcelona last summer and love it and btw FC Barcelona team!!!! and i highly recommend watching a live game at camp nou, even if you re not a football fan ull love it
Snap squad! On Saturday I leave for my spring break from university and will be spending a few days in Montreal. I watched your past videos on the city for inspiration!
What's up Taylor!!! SNAPSQUAD!!! You will love Montreal!! Make sure you get a good poutine... after a long night of partying ;)
Barça of course. They made the comeback of the century yesterday against PSG
+redcojiro97 🙌🏼
+redcojiro97 yah we heard! Wild stuff!!! Have you been to BCN yet?
vagabrothers no :( one day. though. Maybe when I do my study abroad.
I loved the Nou camp tour , good vid guys
Yah that place is legendary!! Glad you enjoyed Rob!!! When did you go the BCN?
I was in Barcelona in 2001 ( honeymoon tour around ) took bride to Nou Camp got my hands on champions league / European cup .
cool introduction of Barcelona .. Thanks .
You guys have GREAT content. Keep it coming
The best tapas I ever had was near the Picasso museum in a small local bar great memories
I spent there three months. A Great place! The best time to travel there is from September. They light up the xmas lights in the end of October and it is so beautiful 😍 summertime - don't go! Crowded!
Ugh. I want to go so bad. Beautiful video you guys! So inspiring!
+Gen c thanks Gen!! You will love it there :)
Loved filming around Barcelona, there are so many things you miss on your first visit.
Will definitely add these to things to film next time 🙌
We’re going to Barcelona for a short 4 days the weekend of February 14th. We already booked tours to La Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlio, Montjuic hill, waterfront, and Monserrat. Staying at Novotel hotel. Any suggestions within walking distance (I.e, restaurants, things to do and shopping) will be appreciated
I lived in Barcelona for the past two years. When my friends would visit, I would always bring them to Casa Batllo, and walk them through the different neighborhoods, pointing out the architectural differences that distinguish each one. And - when tourist season hit - I would take them on the half hour train ride to the beautiful beach town of Sitges (easier to get to than Costa Brava, and better in my opinion - a scandalous opinion to have, I know! ;) ).
great quick detail, to the point!!! thanks
Leaving for barcelona in 2 days! Great timing ❤️
Perfect timing!!! Have you been before Marvin??? What do you have planned?
Barcelona is truly a beautiful place to go..! a must visit
Nice overview of Barcelona. Just discovered you guys (on the carry-on luggage video). Now a subscriber.
😍I love Barcelona!!!
+Izzy InMiami it's the best!!
Spain is a really beautiful country, I went there in 2015 and have so many good memories! You guys should also visit Zaragoza, Madrid and Valencia. Really nice cities with some nice bars and restaurants and a lot of other places to visit.
