Barcelona City review – Feb 2011


Eating Out (7/10) – restaurants open late for evening meals but there is a good range of restaurant options and the quality of food is generally very good. However restaurants along the coast line come at a premium cost for food.

Nightlife (5/10) – a cosmopolitan city with a range of night life options, bars are often small areas within the city, but those on the coast are large club/bars.

Outdoors (9/10) – very good city for the getting outdoors, you have the options of city shopping and sightseeing, a sit on the beach, or a trip into the mountains. The general good weather helps.

Romance (6/10) – while not as romantic as cities such as Paris, Barcelona still offers the nice cosy restaurants and the sunset views while on the beach

Shopping (8/10) – An excellent range of shopping, from the streets of top end shops, to those of the old city streets with tiny one of shops. Finally some very good outdoor but covered markets with the fresh food on display  

Sight- seeing (8/10) – a huge range of sigh seeing, a city with it all, from Roman city, to beach life, and up to castle views  

Hotel (8/10) – very good quality for the price, with rooms larger and of higher standard to those found in other European countries

Communication (8/10) – ease of communications, most spoke English

Transport (7/10) – Metro very good and easy to use, however city street themselves were hard to navigate, with street signs sometimes hard to locate

Value for money (6/10) – more expensive than some places, but then lots could be done for free like a visit to the beach

Overall 72/100 = 72%
