Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, and with so much to do there, it’s easy to see why! It can, however, become expensive, and it’s good to do some things that won’t cost you much. Here are three of the best things to do in Barcelona on a budget.

Take In The Stunning Architecture

Barcelona has some of the best Gothic and neo-Gothic architecture in Europe. If you want to enjoy taking in some of the incredible buildings, you can visit the ‘Gothic Quarter’, which has some amazing churches and old structures, as well as winding, narrow streets to help immerse you in the city’s history. You can also visit the buildings designed by Gaudi, who oversaw some of Barcelona’s most famous neo-Gothic buildings, including the Sagrada Familia Church.

Climb The Tibidabo Hill

You can climb the Tibidabo Hill which towers above the city of Barcelona and gain some stunning views across the urban skyline and towards the ocean. At the top of the hill, there is a fascinating church you can visit. There is also a theme park at the top of the hill, which costs money to enter, but is well worth it if you can stretch your budget.

Free Museum Sundays

Barcelona has some incredible museums to offer, but they can quickly become quite expensive if you are visiting a lot of them. However, many of them offer free entry on the first Sunday of each month, which can be a great way to access the Picasso Museum and the National Art Museum of Catalonia on a budget.
