Pickpockets: Watch your money
  • Tip Rating:
  • The front desk man at the hotel told us to keep an eye on our purses and always keep them in front of us, because there are pickpockets around. A money belt is a good idea, since it's worn under your clothes and much harder to steal. Don't carry too much cash on you at once, and don't wear or carry anything valuable.

    People to Avoid: Drunk guys
  • Tip Rating:
  • At night, it can be dangerous to be alone (especially if you're a girl). Stick with your group and don't wander off. Barcelona is a big city, so it would probably be easy to get lost if you don't know the city well.

    While eating our pizza at supper, a guy who was obviously drunk came to our table and tried to chat with one of the other girls in the group. He left after, but it was good that we had stayed as a group of 4 and that none of us wandered off, because being alone makes you more a target for things like this.

    Bad Timing: A lesson the four of us learned well...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Never arrive without a place to stay! We didn't book accomodations in advance, and ended up searching for at least an hour before we coincidentally found the only place in town that had a room available, and it was the only room left in the hotel (another coincidence - it was for four people!). Hotels, hostels, etc apparently are always full during the summer. Which means that this is a popular destination!
