Curated dining, tours with local guides, and ticketed shows in one place.
No fixed public price: book your spot and tip your guide at the end what you think is fair.
Barcelona is discovered on foot and without haste. In the Gothic Quarter and El Born, the medieval alleys lead to hidden squares and the Cathedral; in Gràcia, the neighborhood life is breathed in its squares, and in the Eixample Gaudí's modernist architecture marks the promenade. In Lokalu you will find plans to get to know the city at your own pace: free tours and guided tours to understand its history, shows, museums and monuments, places to eat and drink Catalan cuisine or drink vermouth, and nightlife proposals for when the sun goes down between Barceloneta and Montjuïc.
With three or four days you can see the essentials without running: one day for the historic centre (Barri Gòtic, El Born and La Rambla), another for the modernism of the Eixample and the Sagrada Família, and another for Park Güell, Gràcia and Montjuïc. If you stay longer, add beach, museums, or an excursion to Montserrat or Sitges. A free tour on the first day helps guide you and receive recommendations from a local guide.
Yes, it is highly recommended. Tickets have an assigned time and in high season they sell out days in advance. Buy only on official websites to avoid overpriced resales.
The center is well traveled on foot and the subway reaches almost all points of interest. For several journeys, a transport pass is more cost-effective than single tickets. There are also buses, a public bicycle service for residents, and taxis. From the airport you can get there by metro, Rodalies train or bus.
Later than in other countries: lunch is usually between 13:30 and 15:30 and dinner from 20:30 or 21:00. Many restaurants offer a midday menu on weekdays, a good option to eat well at a closed price.
