Barcelona is an ideal destination for families, with many activities designed for all ages, but it is key to plan how to get around and what to do to avoid unnecessary stress.
In this guide you will find practical tips on transportation with children, recommended activities and specific recommendations to make your stay in Barcelona comfortable, safe and fun for the whole family.
Featured Snippet: Barcelona is an ideal city for families if you plan your transfers well: use cabs or private transfers with child seats, public transportation when practical and combine family activities such as Park Güell, the Zoo or Barceloneta beach.
