2026 Barcelonès Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

⚠️Transportation: Take the FGC 🚄 train S1/S2 line at Plaça Catalunya and get off at Peu del Funicular. After getting off, do not exit the station. Follow the crowd to the second floor and take the free 🆓 cable car 🚠 up the mountain. The cable car will stop once midway; do not get off, stay on until the final stop. After exiting the cable car station, go out and take bus 111 🚌 from the right rear side directly to Tibidabo Amusement Park (also the last stop). This route accepts the T-casual metro card for ten rides. The return route is the same. Having a Visa card is also very convenient; you can use it like a bus card, though it’s not as cost-effective as the metro card. 📸Photo spot: Inside the church, on the left side in a small hall, there is a ticket vending machine to purchase the elevator ticket to the top for 5💶 each. After buying the ticket, take the elevator to the top for photos.

On my way down from the enchanting Park Güell, I stumbled upon this adorable little park! ✨ It was one of my most delightful discoveries in Barcelona! The entire park is brimming with poetic charm: • 🕊️ The flocks of white pigeons gathering under the century-old trees are incredibly soothing. • 🌸 Wildflowers in full bloom around every corner. • 🧒 A dedicated children's play area filled with laughter (Picture 5) • 🐶 There's even a special play area for furry friends (Picture 7) • 🎻 A sculpture of a music educator adds an artistic touch. When you get tired, you can sit on a bench and rest, watching the pigeons frolic in the treetops, experiencing Barcelona's unique slow-paced lifestyle. The light on a cloudy day is especially soft, making every photo incredibly atmospheric! Picture two shows the Ivy Fruit, a perennial evergreen shrub native to parts of Europe and North Africa along the Mediterranean coast. Due to its drought tolerance and undemanding soil requirements, the Ivy Fruit is now cultivated worldwide. Like rosemary, the flowers of the fruit blue jasmine are long and slender, forming a curved arc, and consist of four stamens and one style. The flowers are not only uniquely shaped but also have a distinctive color, a shade between pale purple and blue. The flowering period lasts about a month. The last picture shows the fruits and vegetables sold at the small shop nearby. 📍Location: Right next to the walking path down the hill from Park Güell

Barcelona is a magic city in the world. The food options are great. The walking is lovely. Need to ride a bike around on my next visit, looks like a lot of fun. The beach walk is very relaxing and chill. The city has many cool streets and vibes around. Also I’m a coffee lover, and being able to get a cafe cortado and croissant for 2.5 euro is amazing start to any day. It’s the best .
