Hello everyone, and today I'm going to tell you how you can travel cheap in
Barcelona. So to understand how to travel cheap in Barcelona, I wrote down all my
costs here. What I did in Barcelona, how much I spent every day and we will start
with the total costs. So in total I paid for five days in Barcelona 479 Euros for
five days. So that's around just below 100 euro per day, but those costs include
my flight costs. Which was 90 euros to get me from London to Spain. So if you
deduct that you'll end up, at around a little bit below 80 euros per day.
And those costs consists of an accommodation of 308 euros for five
nights. A very nice Airbnb a little bit outside the city
centre and that's for five nights two people and we paid 310
euros. So that's around 155 euros per person you could make it even cheaper if
you want. If you're traveling alone as a budget traveler you could decide to
sleep in a hostel and then you know this is around 30 euros a night. You could
bring this down for around 20 / 15 euros if you search it very carefully. And then
we come to our transport costs. In total for five days we paid 46 euros per
person for the total transport cost. But the most expensive part was a private
taxi in the night from the airport back to our accommodation. We paid 40 euros. So
that's 20 euros per person to get from the airport to our accommodation. We
could have taken a night bus which would bring the cost down to around 4 euros
per person. So a significant decrease if you want to save on costs but the
problem is it took us 20 minutes with the taxi and it will took us almost two
hours to reach our accommodation by public transport. And that would have
mean that we would have reached the place around 4 o'clock in the morning,
rather than one o'clock at night. Also also our Airbnb host didn't want to let
us in after that time. The standard costing you pay is the 10 times Metro bus
whatever you can use transport card in Barcelona. This costs 10 euro 20 per
person. So that means that you 1 euro 20 per time for a 10 time use and in those five days
that we were in Barcelona we had to buy those two times so that's like 20
times use of Metro tram bus whatever public transport you can think of. So
it's 20 euro 40 for that. And then there was an airport bus on the last day back
to the airport. Where we took just the bus and
was five euro ninety one way to the airport. This were the transports costs and what you
could save on them. Then there's of course the food in Barcelona. Food isn't
that expensive, but you can make it very expensive because Barcelona is known for
a brilliant cuisine. Tapas, delicious, it's not even officially coming from
Barcelona but even there you can have delicious tapas but tapas makes your
food expensive. Breakfast if you go to a bakery two euro a person you'll find something.
For five days ten euros you're done. If you go to a market.
Touristy one 10 euros you have a nice lunch. Cafe for lunch around eight euros for a
decent meal. But then there's the expensive part. The tapas. If you want to
have a nice lunch / dinner and to want to experience some good tapas.
This can vary between 20 euros and 25 euros per person. I can imagine if your groups
get bigger then the cost will go down as well because you want to try a lots of
different plates as well. You could have a cheaper dinner for example if you want
to take some paella and want to have some nice drinks with it as well. You pay
around 18 euros and keep in mind that my costs are drinks based on having a soda
because I don't drink any alcohol personally. If you want for example some
sangria with your dinner, then you pay an additional 6 euro so that's kind
of the price for sangria. Beer is around 4 euros in restaurants .So that brings
our total food price on 175 euros but as I said you can save some costs on this
if you would bring down the tapas. We went out for tapas three times so if you
would bring down those cost and we'll switch to for example another lunch.
Then the most shocking and most expensive part of my whole Barcelona
trip were the attractions. Attractions in Barcelona aren't that cheap. The total
costs for attractions if you wouldn't apply any saving tricks what I did now.
Would have been for us 124 euros however we paid 103 euros with a little
bit of a simple trick that you could apply when you are in Barcelona. To show
your receipt when you visit the toilet the toilet is free. So let's say you want to visit most of
the important Gaudi places that we visited. So Casa Vicens, Sagrada
Família, Park Guell, Casa Mila, and Casa Battlo. Those five places in Barcelona about
Gaudi. That means Casa Vicens is normally 16 euros per person to enter
this place. However if you visit this place on the last Sunday of the month
you can get this place for 10 euros. Sagrada Familia is normally between 17
and 36 euros. You can't save that much on this one. This
one it really depends what kind of tour what kind of visit you want. Without any
audio guide for example you will pay 17 euros but if you want to have an audio
guide. Then you will pay 25 euro. I would recommend to at least take the
audio guide which is 25. If you want to visit the towers as well you end up
around 30. The only tip I can give you if you are below 30 years old then there's
a discount that you can apply on your checkout which brings the cost down from
25 euros to 22 euros on the entrance with an audio guide. Then you've Park
Guell. You can't save anything with that you apply online, you get your ticket,
it's 13 euros entry fee. No matter when you visit it however the only thing that
I could tell you if you are not that interested in the park. If you visit it after closing time or before openings time you can
visit this park for free. They remove the barricade what they put in front of the
park and then the monumental area is free to visit. To be fair Park Guell the
whole park is free to visit only the monumental area which is 5% of the whole
park, that part is paid because that's the
place where you will see the decoration and the creations of Gaudi and Guell. And
then there's Casa Mila and Casa Battlo. Both of those places really book your
tickets in advance online. You can even do it while you're standing in front of
the door. Just go online apply for it and book it there because for example Casa
Mila it's 25 euros at the door but it's 22 euros when you pay online. Same with
Casa Battlo it's 29 euros at the door and 25 euros when you pay online and those
prices are for the basic tickets. No VIP upgrades and whatever because we're
trying here to get a Barcelona experience as cheap as possible. And then
you have hospital La Pau which is 14 euros but if you are below 30 here as
well you get a discount on top of that as well and it will be 10 euro 50. And another thing
we visited is the labyrinth. The labyrinth would be normally 2 euros
something to get inside however if you visit it on a Wednesday or a Sunday what
we did. Then it's free to enter the place so another trick to save you a little
bit of money. So in total this brought us to a 104 euros for all the
attractions and I must admit that it's quite expensive if you see that for all
the Gaudi stuff let's say casa Mila, Casa Battlo, both places you visit you can do it
in the morning you can easily visit both of those together cost you already almost
50 euros. So if you want to save some extra money only visit one and please
check out my videos check for yourself which one is the prettiest because they
are completely different. Casa Battlo is a renovated house from Gaudi, Casa Mila
is a completely constructed and designed house by Gaudi.
Yeah please check out the videos I did before and all of all those attractions
what you want to visit and where you could save some extra money. So all you know
Barcelona isn't an expensive place if you see, 78 euros including accommodation
food attractions over 5 days to visit. Bus
isn't expensive you could bring those costs down if you want there are loads
of stuff in Barcelona to do which is free there are nice markets to visit
there are little churches which are beautiful that you can visit of course. Barcelona
Cathedral you have to pay but some other cathedrals that we visited we're just
completely free to visit. So that's another way to go for the cheap way and
of course the longer you stay in the place the cheaper it gets by day. Because
if you want to visit some of those places in one day altogether it
increases your cost per day of course. So I hope this helps you to plan your trip
in Barcelona in the cheapest way that you can imagine. And if you want to know
