10 must knows BEFORE visiting Barcelona

[@nancyparra5319]

Going to Barcelona for my first time in April! I've been watching your videos religiously and taking notes. Thank you for putting out great content!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

You’re welcome Nancy! Enjoy Barcelona!!

[@nancyparra5319]

I have a question- are Latinos really treated as poorly as I keep hearing? I'm Mexican-American and this trip has been an absolute dream of mine for a while. I keep getting nervous about being ridiculed for my heritage. Any words of advice? Thank you so much!@@PatrickGuideBarcelona

[@MarcosCajueiroFernandes]

@@nancyparra5319 Tell us more! How was it? Something important to notice?

[@danceninja21]

@@nancyparra5319 my family is Mexican American and we were treated just fine. The Spanish is a little bit different but they seemed to be appreciative that we were at least trying to speak their language. Most people spoke English. This channel will definitely help you a lot! I am just finishing up my Barcelona visit and it definitely wouldn't have gone as smoothly without Patrick's videos!!

[@mrwolfsky13]

Hi Patrick, I find all your videos really interesting and helpful thank you. I’m going to visit Barna next month with my son for 5 days and we can’t wait to see this amazing place 👍

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Very happy to hear that! Thanks for watching

[@danceninja21]

Thank you very much for all your videos. They definitely made my trip to Barcelona easier. One thing I ran across that I wanted to suggest is I went to a super market and I bought fruit. I didn't know I had to weigh it and get a sticker. the cashier was pretty upset that I didn't know. Maybe show people how to shop at the supermarket. 😊 They were not very nice to the ignorant traveler ha ha

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

You actually don’t have to weigh your fruit at every supermarket anymore

[@joho9815]

Hey Patrick. Any hotels that you would recommend in the Gothic area?

[@UrbanArtCentral]

I booked an AirBnB in Ronda Del General Mitre for my up coming trip. How is that location and any good attractions here there?

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Depending on where you are, you’re close to Gràcia and the Casa Vicens by Gaudi

[@skywalker857]

Hi Patrick, do you know if Museum MOCO is still free with BARCELONA CARD in 2024?

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

It is included yes

[@barryclegg9961]

Is the new Barca fc museum open yet have you heard??🤔

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

They opened it June 7th

[@barryclegg9961]

@@PatrickGuideBarcelona thanks. I'll definitely be checking it out.

[@madierose]

Thank you, and a question. At a number of attractions, I can order timed entry tickets online for a discount. With the Barcelona card, I'm not totally clear on this, but I think you can't use the Barcelona cad to order advanced online tickets at these same attractions - is that correct? It seems like you have to show the Barcelona card at the attraction to get the indicated percentage discount, and the discount is off the full ticket price, and not the lower advanced online price. At least that's what I understand from what I've read. Right now I'm leaning against the Barcelona card, since the discounts seem to be about what one can get by purchasing in advance online, and by purchasing online, it means I don't need to wait in line for a ticket.

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

All of that coming soon in an upcoming video!

[@vojtechhaisman4002]

Wasnt Camp Nou demolished today?

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

They are building a new stadium, yes, but the new museum is actually really cool

[@Isharted12]

@@PatrickGuideBarcelona so, are there still areas accesible for tourists in the stadium?

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

In the stadium, no. The museum is now where the old hockey rink was

Over the top? Realy? You are THE king of going over the top with pronunciation.

Patrick, it's the same old thing. Just another one of your videos full of fantastic information. Thank you.

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Thanks Eric!

[@sypha0014]

Staying in Sans Montjuic for our visit, do you have any tips for places to go in and around that area?

[@Samsungmah]

Your video nice

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Thanks

[@TheAddyti7]

Visiting soon would love to get a coffee or something if you have time.

[@vijayalekshmilvj9334]

It's a wow

[@rossfortini1856]

We're cruising out of Barcelona in November and had 2 days booked beforehand. After watching many of your vids, we called our TA and added 3 more days! We *can hardly* wait, thanks to your helpful, engaging content! (Q: Do you still do private tours, or are you 100% online now?)

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Hey Ross! Thanks for the amazing feedback. Still doing private tours, yes!

[@clealinden7755]

Thanks for mentioning Vodaphone: they saved my life in Lisbon AND Madrid!!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

You’re welcome

[@Fine_living718]

Any recommendations for a trip to Barcelona that includes a large group? Let’s say about 8 people.. love the videos man!

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Reservations at restaurants will be more important

[@marisv2]

You sure we don’t have to make the Sssss snake sound when saying Barcelona? Ahahaha 😂😂😂 😅 thought that was really funny

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

😂😂😂 thank you!

[@carolmcguinnes4941]

73 days until we arrive ✈️. Plus our daughter is joining us for dinner on the Saturday before going on a cruise the following day. So excited

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

👏🏼👏🏼

[@davemartin_]

With the current heatwave is it likely things might shut during the day? We are due to be there next week and don't want to venture into the city if things shut down.

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

I don’t think you have anything to worry about

[@ktbffh7130]

How is the H10 Marina in your opinion? It is in the olympic village

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

It’s nice! H10s a great hotels. Marinas a bit off the beaten path if that makes a difference

[@mgpriester]

With the ongoing government subsidised public transport fares in 2023, one of the best options for travelling from the airport to the city might also be the T-Usual. With 20€/30days and transfer from and to the airport by metro included it's definitely worth a mention ;) Question: How is the situation regarding the ongoing draught and the fountains, especially the Magic Fountain? Greetings from Nuremberg

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

That is a good option! The other cards allow for entrances to many of the sites though. Fountains currently still off

[@Cartechfan00]

@PatrickGuideBarcelona Can the T-Usual card be used for funicular trams as well? (Montjuïc, Estacio, Vallvidrera)

[@Isharted12]

@@PatrickGuideBarcelona are tourist allow to purchase t_usual? , do they request a national id or any passport should be sufficient doc?

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Anything in zone 1

[@PatrickGuideBarcelona]

Yes
