Hola Barcelona! (Dec 14th-16th)

This was my first trip going outside of Germany! 117

From Bremen my friend and i flew by Ryanair to Girona. To Barcelona we took the airport bus (12 EUR for one way and 21 EUR for two ways). We stayed in Barcelona Urbany Hostel. The Hostel was really comfortable. It is not too far from the bus station and near the subway. I recommend to take T10 ticket. So you can use the ticket for 10 times. Your friend(s) can use this 15 EUR ticket too.

Although we were there for 3 days, we explored Barcelona only one day. Because we arrived late at night and departed to Paris (next destination) in the early morning. We decided to join Runner Bean Tours. The system is you pay as much as you want. The guide explained in an interesting way. The good part is (which there was not in the tour i joined in Paris) that he gave us time to take pictures and see around by ourselves after the explanation. We joined the Old City tour program. If i stayed for 2 days, i would join the Gaudi tour for sure.

After the tour, we visited Camp Nou because my friend is a foot ball fan. It is FC Barcelona stadium. Although i am not a football fan, i enjoyed myself while being there!

The ticket is 22 EUR. You can see the museum, learn about FC Barcelona history and visit the stadium. Not only go to the stadium, but also see the press room, changing room, and the president box! The view from president box was amazing! It must be great seeing football match from there.

Unfortunately we didn't manage visiting Sagrada Familia during the day. We saw it from outside around 1 AM! Crazy, wasn't it? A woman, whom we asked to for direction, was confused. She even offered us to help us looking for the hostel!

Some friends visited Barcelona on the same day. They visited Sagrada Familia during the day. Their photos were beautiful! I think it's better after you join the tour, go visit Sagrada Familia. Or maybe if you have time, join the Gaudi tour and when it is finish, go inside that Basilica.

After Sagrada Familia, we visited Arc de Triomf. It is near from the bus station. I think it must be really good if i see it during the day. Yet i didn't have much time, so it was better than didn't see at all!

Because i tried not to spend much money, i brought bread and cheese from home. The only Spanish food i tried was Churros. I love this snack! :D

That's all about my Barcelona trip. It was a too short trip for me. Maybe i will visit it again. Who knows...
