Fun Activities In Barcelona

If you want to have fun in Barcelona with your family there are many different offerings

. One of the first things you should do before you go is to purchase a Barcelona Card. If you haven't figured out what the Barcelona card is, that is because although not private, it is perhaps one of Barcelona's best kept secrets. Here is what advantages you and your family can enjoy.

For starters, these cards are available from two to five day passes, and cost around $35 dollars for any person over 13, and under $30 for those under thirteen for a two day pass per person. The highest charge is for the 5 day run, being $55.7 for adults, and $43.76 for kids. While you may at first don't think this is such a good idea, think of the following benefits and features offered with these cards.

How about unlimited use of any and all public transportation for the duration of the card. That means that you can use the city buses, suburban train networks, including the Metro, as well as the trains and tram to and from the airport. You get a city guide, in six different languages, including English, as well as maps to the city and public transportation. Included with the guide is a list of all the businesses and attractions that participate in the Barcelona Card program.

You get into the top 16 attractions and museums, including the Botanical Gardens, Museum of Decorative Arts, and the Museum of Natural Sciences, just to name a few. You get discounted entrances for 26 more museums and attractions, including the Picasso Museum, the temple of the Sagrada Familia, the Joan Miro Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as 22 others. You get a 30% discount on any walking tours of Picasso's bohemian Barcelona, or even the Gothic Quarter. Now if that isn't enough, you also get a substantial savings at cultural venues, shops, restaurants, and even bars and clubs.

You can also save money and time, as well as stress by thinking out of the box when it comes to food and lodging. You are likely to spend at least $100 a day or even more on food alone. Hotels, even some of the least expensive, can cost you close to $75-$100 a night, per person. Now even hotels that say that children eat for free, have many restrictions. There is an age cap for one thing, so only kids under 12 can eat free. It usually just covers on small meal, and you know kids can't live of one MRE a day.

So if you want to avoid all of these headaches, try a holiday apartment instead. Not only do you have all the comforts of home, but there is a full kitchen area, that all you have to provide is the food, and of course cook. Barcelona is great on foot, and what better way to see real down home culture than buy purchasing from local stores and markets. While these homes usually have just one bathroom you are sure to have at least one bedroom, sometimes more. This gives you a lot of privacy and room to stretch out.
