If you are planning your trip to Barcelona and your budget is not that high, pay attention to our advice! We will tell you how to save money on your trip to Barcelona.
Save money on the trip itself:
By boat, by train, by plane, by bus, by car… There are many ways to arrive to Barcelona. Finding the cheapest way of getting there means you have to compare between the different choices, and of course, that you need to do it well in advance. If you travel by plane, you can get the best prices by making a reservation with at least two months in advance. Another low-cost way of arriving to Barcelona is to travel by bus or to share a car with other travelers through a platform such as Bla Bla Car.
Save money on your accomodation:
Choosing a low-cost accommodation in Barcelona is one of the most important aspects to consider if you don’t want to exceed your budget. One of the most economic choices would be to stay at a hostel; aside from saving money, it will also give you the chance of cooking your own food, or enjoy leisure activities while meeting other fellow travelers in the process.
Save money on transportation and sight seeing in Barcelona:
Public transportation by subway or bus in Barcelona is not that expensive, although you could save a lot of money by buying a 10 ticket discount or by getting a Barcelona card, which allows you to move freely around the city by subway and bus, as well as getting access to over 20 museums and attractions. The Airticket card allows you to enter to seven of the main artistic centers of the city, and the Barcelona Pass card will give you access to the main touristic attractions of Barcelona.
Save money eating like a local in Barcelona:
This may seem a bit obvious; if you don´t want to spend a lot of money on your trip to Barcelona, you should avoid the most touristic areas during lunch and dinner time. Las Ramblas area has a lot of beautiful terraces that, unfortunately are never going to be cheap. Our advice for you is to find the residential areas and ask for the Monday to Friday menu on cafés and restaurants if you want to eat well and for a fair price.
