Barcelona Travel Guide
March 5, 2010
This USA Today/Fodor’s Travel Guide to Barcelona is full of useful information. If you are heading to Barcelona, relax. It’s one of the easiest cities to navigate and a cinch to get around in. Barcelona is ringed by the hills on three sides and the Mediterranean on the other. It’s impossible to get lost there. An extensive, quick and clean metro system, public buses, and easy walking make the city user-friendly.
When I’m in Barcelona I do alot of my moving around on foot. Of course, I love walking, and when I’m on foot I come across little shops, unglamourous bars, old-world cafés and hidden Eixample courtyards. The prevalence of 19th and early 20th century architecture throughout the Eixample and surrounding neighborhoods make walking a visual initiation into Modernist architecture. And in the Ciutat Veilla, the medieval quarter, the buildings of the original walled city must be viewed on foot in the mainly pedestrian neighborhood.
