Barcelona has a lot of tourists, so it is best to buy tickets and book a time in advance! You can enter the venue at the designated time and scan the QR code to enter, which is very convenient! Convenience:

You can purchase the three facilities together, which is more economical than purchasing them one by one. I was unable to reserve the Sagrada Familia audio guide plan a week in advance, so I went around without the audio guide, but if you need it, I recommend reserving it early. Also, please note that you cannot change the time after reserving.

This is a 1.5-hour walking tour about the city if Barcelona. It has a lot history, a bit of geography, and recommendations to best places to eat, drink, or check out. Our guide, Craig, was English but knew a lot about the city of Barcelona.

A must when you visit Spain— watch a flamenco show! Everything was excellent. From the location of the venue (it’s in La Rambla), the stage, the ambience, the staff, and of course, the dancers, singers, and musicians. Cannot help but get carried away.
