Barcelona hotels, Where is the best place to stay in Barcelona? When you come to Barcelona, where is the safer place and convenient transportation, so don’t worry about going out at night? These are the questions we had before coming to Barcelona. We spent a lot of time organizing our accommodations, and selected a few more suitable accommodations for tourists!
We are looking forward to this journey very much. We are going to the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, and want to go to the charming flamenco dance show at night! The Sagrada Familia has always been a place we want to visit, the only unfinished building in the world that has been listed as a world cultural heritage!
In addition to the prices, the buildings are relatively cheap compared to Western Europe. The buildings are really the focus of the whole journey. They are very distinctive and full of artistry!
