Tips for visitors visiting Barcelona for the first time

Work-life balance is the name of the game in this Mediterranean city, which has a strong history of technological advancement. People from all walks of life may be seen at the city's restaurants and cafes as well as the theater and opera houses because of the work-life balance of the Catalan people. The neighborhood is well-liked by visitors who want to experience the outdoors, shop, dine, or take in the arts, as well as enjoy the area's beautiful climate.

Make your first trip to Barcelona unforgettable by following these tips.


Tipping is not required.

Like the United States and the United Kingdom, tipping is optional in Japan unless the service is very exceptional. Even if the service is extraordinary, servers are not expected to receive a tip of more than 10%. Employees in the hospitality industry such as bartenders and servers come under this umbrella.

Because credit cards don't normally allow for gratuities to be added to the bill, tipping should always be done in cash directly to the server. The usual gratuity for bellhops, housekeepers, and concierges at high-end hotels is one euro per piece of luggage.

Preparation is the key to having a successful vacation!
Only by completing your research and making your bookings well in advance for flights, hotel, or tickets to the city's key attractions can you find the best bargains in Barcelona.

You may avoid long lineups and disappointment by reserving in advance for some of Barcelona's most popular sights, such as the Sagrada Familia. Preparation is essential to prevent disappointment while visiting tourist attractions such as the Magic Fountain of Montjuic during the off-season.

Go to a beach that isn't in the immediate area.
Barceloneta's beach has the highest foot traffic since it is the nearest to the city. Mar Bella, San Sebastiá, Bogatell, Nova Icària, and Sant Miquel are five more beaches in Barcelona worth visiting if you're searching for a more peaceful atmosphere.
For a peaceful, clean beach within 25 minutes by metro from the city center, we love the Nova Icària beach.

Take a break from the norm.
There are a number of lesser-known sites in Barcelona that are just as valuable as the city's most recognized ones for first-time visitors.
Going off the usual road will give you a unique perspective on the city, even if you don't find many hidden gems there. Bunkers del Carmel, a military anti-aircraft fighting position used during the Spanish Civil War, provides one of the best views of Barcelona.

Explore the historic alleyways of El Born and Grácia, which are full with bars, restaurants and shops. Let go of the map and just go with the flow and see what happens on your first trip to Barcelona (but certainly not the last).
