An extended weekend in Barcelona!
An extended weekend in Barcelona is one of the best options if you want to see a lot of interesting things and at the same time take a break from your daily routine.
This destination is not only interesting at a time when it is very warm because Barcelona is a city that lives to the fullest 24 hours a day and so 365 days a year. Of course, the advantage is to go during the summer season because the sea and beautiful beaches simply entice with their beauty.
If you find it difficult to go by car, although this also has its advantages, air transport to Barcelona is available in every country. In addition, plane tickets are more than affordable, and the ride itself is, depending on where you take off, very short. The airport in Barcelona is more than well connected to the city center, both by public and taxi transport.
Once you decide to travel to Barcelona the recommendation is to buy a ticket for public transport, called Hola Barcelona. You can buy a ticket online for 2, 3, 4 or 5 days. In this way, it is quite convenient, and Barcelona itself is very spacious and it is a great challenge to visit all the attractions on foot.
