Things to do in Barcelona, Catalonia: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals

October 6, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

We rented 2x125cc scooters for 24 hours. Our experience was really great - the scooters were of a great quality. We travelled to Montserat - the service guy provided us with all the relevant information about the insurance, location we are about to go and cautioned us about the possible warnings. And spoke English which is great!! Thanks a lot for everything.
