Barcelona Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • Adjust your body's clock. Most Barcelonans eat their main meal around 1:30 or 2:00 p.m., and then lighter fare around 10 p.m. And of course if you go out don't plan on going to sleep until early the next morning!
  • Purchase a Barcelona Card that offers unlimited travel on public transportation and discounts at many museums and attractions. The card is available at Turisme de Barcelona offices in Placa de Catalunya and Placa Sant Jaume, as well as the Sants train station and the El Prat airport.
  • Hail like a local. If a taxi's green rooftop light is on, it's available. You can hail it in the street, but if you're within 200 yards of a taxi stand, the driver will ask you to get in line.
