A city I never tire of and so easy to get around on your own. We got the port cruise (blue) bus from right outside the terminal for €4 return each which leaves you near Plaza Colombo (as does the MSC shuttle which you have to pay €8/9). We then got the Metro from Drassanes to the Sagrada Famiglia (changing at Passeig Gracia) we got a 10 trip ticket for €10.20 as we were 8. Wandered round the outside of the Sagrada Famiglia, then got the metro back to Plaza Catalunya (changing again at Passeig Gracia), and walked back down the Ramblas stopping at the food market near the middle.

Barcelona was great. We took at cab from the boat into old town. It was very easy and cheap. No excursion was necessary. Booked tickets online the prior day for the sites we wanted to see. Took taxi from two different sites then back to the ship. Read Less

Barcelona is a wonderful city with beautiful architecture. We had been there a number of times so just took the bus shuttle into town and explored some of the area we love. The shuttles from the ship in all ports are great. They come often and were perfectly on time. Read Less

We pre-booked admission to La Sagrada Familia and the Camp Nou Experience, home of the FC Barcelona. We moved easily around town by taxi. We had planned on spending a bit of time along Las Ramblas, but my 9 year old lost his embarkation card which he had been wearing on a lanyard so we returned to the ship early, not knowing how long it would take to get his card reissued and regain access to the ship.
