Left my heart in Barcelona

Ah, Barcelona! The city which stole my heart and for the time being, it’s my favourite European city so far till maybe I get the chance to visit more cities in Europe.

So grateful for the five days spent in this huge city full of old architecture buildings, friendly people, good music and beautiful weather especially in December. And therefore I decided to share with you guys my itinerary, the best deals, delicious food places for food lover and secret Instagram spots in Barcelona.

While I was planning to visit Barcelona, I tried to cover all the good places which no one of us should miss. But in another hand, you have to know, that they are a lot of paid tourist attractions in Barcelona so you have to decide either you pay to get access to all tourist attractions. In this case, you will have to buy a Barcelona Card, you can read more information in this link.

To choose only a few of them and pay separately (you will find the prices below);

Or as I did, just go to the place and get to see places from outside click pictures and That’s all.

Why did I make this decision?
Well honestly, in my previous travels I used to pay a lot just to get into a tourist attraction, but then I find it so crowded or it’s not worth the price. And therefore, for this trip, I tried to select all paid attractions and watch a lot of vlogs on youtube so that I can decide either I go or no.



So let’s start by sharing with you guys my itinerary:

First day:

• Casa Batllo 25 euro
• Barcelona Cathedral
• Arc de Triomf
• The plant wall
• Bishop’s bridge
• Plaça de Sant Felip Neri
• Torre Agbar (by night)

Second day:

• Camp Nou (you will find the link to buy your ticket below)
• Red house
• Casa Vicens 15 euro
• Park Gûell 10 euro
• Bunkers del Caramel (sunset)

Third day: Shopping Day :D

First stop was la Roca Village: On my own experience, if you are looking for good deals with cheap prices I don’t suggest la Roca Village. Honestly, I got disappointed while visiting it so I don’t want you to feel the same.
Actually, La Roca Village is an outlet for all expensive brands so if you want to buy luxury things then it is the best place.
Portal Del Angel
Parc Montjuic (By night)

Fourth day:

• Las Ramblas
• The human statues
• Mercado de la Boqueria
• Port Vell
• Miro Mural

Fifth day:

It was dedicated to a day trip out of Barcelona, and therefore I chose to visit Montserrat as I really find my soul in nature and moreover, I wanted to try the cable car experience for the first time.

I will give you some information needed:
The first train starts at 8h30 and it takes 1 hour to reach the place.
Where to book your ticket? Line R5 from ESPANYA RAIL STATION

How much the ticket costs? 22 euro per person both ways and you have two options either you book for the Cable Car experience (get off at train station Aeri Montserrat) or Rack railway Cremallera Funicular experience (get off at train station Monistrol Montserrat)


I will also share with you guys a mini vlog on my IGTV about this beautiful experience and I just hope you will like it.

Best deals:

T-10 card:

You can buy this card from the metro station at the airport for about 10 euro.

This is so far the best deal to commute in Barcelona, so this card allows you to have 10 trips and you can use it in the bus I metro, bus, FGC, TRAM and Rodalies de Catalunya.

And by the way, if you use the card in less than 70 min the next trip is for free and that was so good in case you have two or more transportations to reach a place.

Sim Card: 

As I had planned during this trip to visit more than one country, the best deal was to buy a European card from EL PRAT AIRPORT you will find a travel shop in terminal 1 from where you buy your sim card (price: 25 euro Organe company, includes: 10 GO, 30 minutes and free calls to people who has the same card)

Camp Nou Ticket: 

I bought my ticket from TripAdvisor as I find it so far a good and trustworthy platform, where you can read reviews and get to know the rating of each seller based in other traveller’s voting. Link from where I bought my ticket.

Hostels or Hotels?:

As I shared before with you on Instagram (:p If you are not following me yet so what are you waiting for to follow? hahaha :D My Instagram account is: @im.sara.khalid).

In my own perspective of thinking, I don’t need to stay in a luxury place to travel. So hostels were so far my best option while I am travelling. They are cheap, clean and secure and that’s exactly what I am looking for and also you get to chat with different people from different countries and why not making new friends.

During my Barcelona trip, I chose to stay in Yeah Barcelona Hostel ( PS: not sponsored and they didn’t ask me to do it, I just love to share with you all good deals so this is my honest review about it)

1- Friendly staff, all the time they are smiling and ready to help on whatever you ask for. Moreover, they talk fluently English so no problem regarding communication.

2- Usually when you book your stay, the hostel doesn’t include breakfast so you have to pay it separately and it costs 3 euro. I find the price so affordable compared to the diversity of food they offer so yeah I’m giving a thumbs up to it.

3- There are no towels in your room so you have to bring yours.

4- I booked a female room of 4 beds with private shower and toilet. the room was so clean, quite big and what I liked about this room the view from the balcony, the makeup mirror, and the wardrobe it was really so big that I can put all my luggage inside.

5- The location is just perfect.

Delicious food places:

In my own point of view, Barcelona is the best place to have delicious food.

So try as much as you can to enjoy your time hahaha.

They say: Run like no one is watching I say: eat like no one is watching :D




So the best way to know your nearby restaurants and coffee shops is by using Mr Google. The new facilities which google afford(Rating, reviews, photos of the place), helped me a lot to find good places to eat and I can’t just stop myself to suggest it as the best solution.


But don’t worry :D, I will also share with you my own experience. Let’s start Yummy Yummy in my tummy :p :
