5.0 out of 5 stars useful pocket guide to Barcelona, September 15, 2005
By audrey (white mtns) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Having just returned from a trip to Barcelona, and having brought several pocket guides to the city, we found this little book fairly useful.

First of all, the covers and pages are glossy so they don't stain easily, which was unique to this guide. Secondly, there are LOTS of small color photographs, which is nice, though they are necessarily small. The front and back covers fold out to maps of the city and the metro system, and a selected street index. The book is organized into "top ten" lists: attractions, Modernista buildings, squares, churches, museums, cafes, restairants and tapas bars, night-time spots, gay & lesbian hangouts, shopping areas, markets, city views, parks & beaches, walks and bike rides, activities, attractions for children, folk festivals, and performance venues. In the next section, top ten lists are given for each geographic section of the city, and the lists mix resteraunts, attractions, etc. The final section, called "Streetsmart", gives top ten helpful hints for: getting to barcelona, getting around the city, ways to explore, tours, information sources, security, health, banking, eating, shopping, budget travel and hotels. Each list is accompanied by a map or graphic and each item gets a few descriptive sentences and includes hours, prices and metro stop information. The book concludes with an incomplete index and some useful phrases.

We found this guide pretty useful and compact, and would definitely use others in the series when travelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for maximizing a short trip to Barcelona, September 22, 2006
Recommended: This is good if you have less than a week to spend in Barcelona and need to figure out how to maximize your time. The first few sections group activities and sites by type, so it's easy to pick out what you'll like. Plus they're all labelled on numbered maps to make it easy to chart your route through the day. Small color pictures help give you an idea of what you'll see. The sturdy map at the front is pretty useful and not awkward to use. The book is skinny enough that it's easy to carry it during the day. My main criticisms: (1) Park Guell isn't in the main top 10 list section, but is listed in the top 10 parks. I think this underemphasis is a mistake, since some readers might miss out on it. (2) There's not much info on excursions outside the city if you have the time for that sort of thing. (3) There's limited info on restaurants and hotels, but that may not be an issue for some travellers.

If you have a longer stay in Barcelona you might supplement this with a bigger book like Fodor's See It Barelona.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best travel guide for Barcelona, August 8, 2009
By J. Hinckley (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've had the pleasure of spending nearly three weeks in Barcelona on three different trips now (total of 19 days). Each morning I toss this little jewel into my purse or daypack and leave any other guides I've brought with me in the hotel. The book is fabulous if you only have a couple of days to spend there, but is also very useful for repeat visits (I'm just now coming to the end of this little guide's usefulness). Don't leave home without it (or its newer replacement) if you're traveling to marvelous Barcelona.
