My favourite city in the Med! We have been there before but did the hop on hop off at the dock. Then we walked and walked! Do be aware of pick pockets...we are always careful and have never had any problems but be cautious! Don’t let them spoil your visit to a beautiful city Read Less

It's not our first time in Barcelona so we didn't order excursion there it's easy to donit on your own Read Less

Park Guell was overrated but Sagrada Familia was my favorite attraction on the cruise. We bought our entry tickets four weeks prior. We bought the tower access; I didn't think the price was worth it but my wife liked it. You can't see the inside of the church from the tower tour. Read Less

Lovely city and good place to eat off ship Read Less

We stayed in Barcelona after our cruise at Leonardo Boutique Hotel, Sagrada Familia. The hotel was excellent, spotlessly clean, very modern and friendly service. It was slightly out of the centre so very reasonably priced. It was 2 mins from a metro stop (Clot) and 15 mins walk from Sagrada Familia. There is a €3 shuttle bus to/from the port that stops near the World Trade Center (not far from Drassanes metro station at the bottom of Las Ramblas) We enjoyed the castle and view at Montjuic. Less busy than Parc Guell and better views. You can get the metro to Paral-lol, funicular and cable car. All easy to follow. The poble sec area is cool with lots of bars serving tapas along the Carrer de Blai in the evening. The metro system is cheap, efficient and easy to understand. A 10 trip pass is only about €10. You have to buy a separate ticket for the airport unless you have a pass that includes it (the ticket machines are clear) Read Less

walk into town and around - the La Famiglia is so over crowded dont even bother there is so much more to see.... Really clean city Read Less

Hop on and hop off bus. Read Less

We'd been to Barcelona before so decided to just get off the ship and wander around on our own. We ended up walking La Ramblas to the very top and back down again, which was quite a long way to walk in the heat. The disappointment for me was the shockingly bad shuttle service. We were charged 5 Euros each to be ferried just around the corner from the ship. It was a good 5 minute walk from there to the bottom of La Ramblas. I was under the impression that we would be dropped literally at the bottom of La Ramblas. An extra 5 minute walk may not seem much, but when you're not particularly mobile and it's very hot, it makes a lot of difference, particularly when you're foot sore and walking back to the bus. I felt a little taken advantage of given the distance travelled on the bus. Read Less

Great city. Did take the hop on hop off bus. We were very tired from the cruise and did miss seeing the Church. Next time Read Less

Self tour of a beautiful City, very clean with loads to see and buy! Read Less

This was the end of our tour. Stayed three days here and could have done longer. Buy the Rick Steve’s book on Barcelona and do everything he recommends, you won’t be disappointed. Read Less

Interesting Gothic quarter but be careful of pick pockets. Feels very touristy elsewhere. Read Less

Always a nice place to visit Read Less

Very interesting, Sagrada Familia was something else. Read Less

Explored ourselves, very busy port, watch your bags as its well known pick pocket territory Read Less

We enjoyed two days in barcelona and visited the sights ourselves - we did really enjoy the Sagrada Familia ( and we choose the guided tour which was fabulous ) Read Less

Loved Barcelona we were there for three days before the cruise Read Less

You have to take a taxi into town then get on the bus. Read Less

We used HOHO buses on day 1 to find our way around, then day 2 was a walk along Las Ramblas to Boqueria market and Bario Gothiko. For me it is mostly just another big city, but if I do go back I would take the opportunity to visit inside Sagrada Familia. The outside was amazing, so the inside....? Read Less

Loved this city. We stayed two days prior to our cruise and it just wasn't enough. We had our own private tours to Casa Batllo and Sagrada Familia. Well worth it. We also took the hop on hop off bus and saw many other sights. Walked all around this city. Would definitely love to go back. The Metro is easy to use. We recommend the Two Hotel by Axel and Wellsness Spa3. Read Less

Lovely and Vibrant city with lots of things to see and do. We spent a day and a half here prior to our cruise and would recommend at least that amount of time (if not a great deal more) in Barcelona. Read Less

Dinner at Teoric was amazing! Read Less

disembarked and took norwegian bus transport to downtown and world trade center building, where there is a bus terminal and grabbed the Hop on Hop off bus tour of Barcelona. there is so much to see here it is mind boggling. we definitely want to go back to Barcelona as we could not come close to seeing everything we wanted to in 7 1/2 hours. saw La Predrera the apartment complex built by the famous Antoni Gaudi. spectacular. also Catjhedral of Barcelona. pretty amazing. the whole city is really cool but so spread out it is not walkable. and the 2 routes these hop on hop off buses take 1 1/2 round trip so can't scout what you want to hop off and see by touring the entire route as not enough time. Read Less

Great city. Took a free walking tour of the Gothic quarter with Strawberry Tours. Would definitely recommend Read Less

I simply love Barcelona. I felt sorry for those that got on in Rome and the ship was in port on a Sunday when most things were closed. Read Less
