A guide to barcelona in 3 days?

Question

The first answer to give me good info will get the points, and much appreciation.

Will be in Barcelona 6th 7th 8th april, leaving 9th. We don't want to waste our time finding out information when we're there so we thought we plan it now.

I need a guide to tell us where to start by day and where to end up by night.

I've got random info from a previous question but would like it to be more of a step by step guide please.

We've had a person on the internet last year who guided us through Paris and it was magical. We didn't waste a minute on unwanted travel and queuing at the travel information desk.

We are into seeing the culture, some sight seeing, the footbal ground and some chilling out.

Thank you so much in advance.

Answer 1

Get the Let's Go Spain or Let's Go Europe Guides or anything by Rick Steves.  Good luck!  I'm living vicariously through you!

Answer 2

couple of "itnieraries" for you to consider ..

Answer 3

you'd get a better answer if you specify what kind of stuff you like, there's too much stuff to do in Barcelona

Answer 4

If you're going to buy a book, get the DK Eyewitness guide.  It has everything you want, including really spectacular photos.  

Downside: You're going to realize that three days isn't enough, because you're bound to want to see almost everything in it.

I agree with the others who have already answered.  Let's Go was my bible while I lived in Europe, some thirty years ago.  Frommers is really good, and I wish I were Rick Steves.  He is terrific!  We watch his shows, just to see where he goes.

Try this, too: gobcn.com. Barcelonaman.com, and also, just go to the basic Spain Tourism site: sispain.com, and link up to Barcelona.

The planning is half the fun!

Make sure you try the homemade ice cream (I assume the shops are open all year.  They looked really permanent), along the Ramblas...very good stuff!!!  and go to the Café de la Opera, on the Ramblas (across from the Opera) for churros and chocolate.  And the Chocolate Museum is less travelled, but a good stop if you're into chocolate, and who isn't?

If you want more real direct info, email me.  We were just there last year.
