Barcelona Travel Tips for 2026

Visa: US, UK, Canadian, and Australian passport holders can visit Spain visa-free for up to 90 days. Passports must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date. For updated entry requirements, visit the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Local transport: Barcelona’s metro and bus system covers the entire city. A single metro or bus ticket costs €2.55. The T-casual card, offering 10 rides, is €12.15 and can be used on both metro and city buses. The metro operates from 5:00 AM to midnight (Monday-Thursday), until 2:00 AM on Fridays, and runs all night on Saturdays.

Tipping: Tipping is not obligatory in Barcelona. Locals typically round up small change or leave 5% to 10% in restaurants for excellent service. Taxis and cafés do not expect tips, though rounding up the fare is appreciated.

Currency: The euro (EUR) is Spain’s official currency. Nearly all hotels, restaurants, and shops accept credit and debit cards. ATMs are widely available, and contactless payments are standard. Currency exchange services are less common due to card ubiquity.

Best time to visit: April to June and September to early November bring mild weather (16-26°C), lower hotel prices, and fewer crowds. Major festivals like Sant Jordi (April) and La Mercè (September) add cultural flair without summer’s peak rates. Avoid July and August if you prefer cooler temperatures and more value for your money.
