    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @KRodCollective
      @KRodCollective  Před rokem +1

      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
      @KRodCollective  Před 6 měsíci

      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! 💕

    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

    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.

    • @KRodCollective
      @KRodCollective  Před rokem +3

      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!! 💕

    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!

    • @KRodCollective
      @KRodCollective  Před rokem +1

      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! 💕

      Yes you can!! And I would suggest that! Especially if you are going to be taking the public transportation a lot. There is a monthly pass you can get. It will most likely pay for itself in a few swipes. You can use it on the metro and the bus. Just not the bus or metro to the airport.

    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.
