Best Free Things to Do in Barcelona
Barcelona is a vibrant and exciting city full of culture,
history and architecture. While it can be easy to spend a lot of money exploring this city,
there are also plenty of free things to do that will help you make the most of your trip
without breaking the bank. In this video, we'll be looking at the best ones.
Number 1. Free Walking Tours in Barcelona
Barcelona is one of the most walkable cities in the world,
and it's also the best way to explore the city. Iconic landmarks like La Sagrada Familia,
Casa Batllo, Casa Mila and Parc Güell are best explored by foot. Walking tours take you around
these places and you are accompanied by a local guide. There are several local groups that provide
free walking tours in the city. Free Walking Tours Barcelona, Free Tours by Foot, Sandeman's
Barcelona Free Tour and Runner Bean Tours are some of them. Prior reservation is not necessary,
but it is recommended as it could get booked quickly during peak periods.
A tip for walking tours, try to join the tours at the start of your trip.
It will help you understand Barcelona a lot better, which will also be helpful for the rest
of your stay. Also, the guides can give you plenty of recommendations on attractions to visit,
places to eat, etc. That would make your trip a lot better.
Number 2. Go to the Famous Barcelona Beaches
Barcelona is home to famous beaches like Barceloneta Beach, Nova Icaria Beach,
Bogatel Beach, and so on. Most of the beaches are easily accessible from the city and are
spacious enough. They are lively and bustling places with many bars, restaurants, and beach
clubs. If nudist beaches are your thing, Marbella Beach is your go-to place. The beach has a
designated nudist area where most of the people are topless or completely nude.
You have to be adult-minded to visit here, though. The beaches might get crowded during the
summer months, so try to avoid peak periods. The best time to visit is during the mid-afternoon
when the sun is still shining and the water is warm. Before we move on to the third one,

Number 3. Explore the Ciutadella Park
Ciutadella Park is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and get a taste of the local life
in Barcelona. It is a popular spot for locals and tourists. Choose a spot at the park and you
can have yourself a fantastic picnic. You can explore other places in the park, like the Arc
de Triomphe, the Barcelona Zoo, the Parliament of Catalonia, the Historical Waterfall, and the
Romantic English Garden, all for free. Barcelona locals are more friendly than you think.
Bring a frisbee, soccer ball, or other outdoor games to the park, and they will join you for a
Number 4. Take Advantage of Free Museum Sundays
Most of the museums in Barcelona have free admission on Sundays. It's a good chance to
explore the variety of museums located in the city. City History Museum, Natural History Museum,
El Born Cultural and Memorial Center, World Cultures Museum, and Music Museum are some of
the best museums to visit for free. They all have free entries every Sunday after 3pm and the first
Sunday of every month. Do not miss them. Most of the museums welcome walk-ins, but it's always
better to check their website to see the ticket reservation policies, as each one has its own.
I have listed all the links to museums' websites and other necessary links in my Medium article.

A fun fact about Barcelona that you didn't know. It has free Wi-Fi throughout the whole city.
Everywhere you go, shopping centers, bars, restaurants, and airports, you can get online
for free. Turn on your Wi-Fi, select Barcelona Wi-Fi, open your browser and accept the terms
and conditions. It's that easy. The speed might not be what you expect, but hey, it's free!
Number 5. Get Religious at Gothic Churches
Barcelona is home to the main Gothic Basilicas. Each one is very special and has different things
to offer. The Cathedral of Saint Eulalia and the Holy Cross, Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar,
Basilica of Santa Maria del Pai, and Basilica of Saint Just-i-Pastor are the main four. They
all are architectural masterpieces and are a great joy to watch. Recently they have started
to charge an entrance fee, but there are certain times when you can visit them for free. Each
cathedral is free to enter at times shown on the screen. Most of these free entries are for worship
and prayer, but as long as you stay sane and don't cause drama, you are okay.
Number 6. Enjoy the City Views from a Hilltop
Barcelona City is designed into blocks and you can see the fantastic view of it,
with the Mediterranean Sea in the backdrop, for absolutely free. Montjuic Castle, Tibidabo,
and Turro de la Rovira are some places from where you can enjoy the city view.
Where's the best place for the view? Turro de la Rovira. It is a hill overlooking
Barcelona that is easily accessible. You can go there anytime for free,
but just try to avoid the sunset times as it seems to have a lot of crowds lately.
A bonus tip, watch a game at the Camp Nou. If you're a football or soccer fanatic,
you definitely know about the football club Barcelona. They play at the iconic Camp Nou
stadium and the atmosphere inside is breathtaking, even better if they win the match.
It is not a free thing to do, but it's definitely one of the experiences that you'll cherish
forever. A general ticket will run you upwards of almost 50 pounds. These are the type of things
that are worthy of spending money on. So these are the top free things to do in Barcelona.
There are many other fantastic free things to do, but let's keep them for future videos.
