Barcelona in 3 Days: Day-by-Day Itinerary with Budget (Printable + iPad)
Barcelona rewards a plan: the Gaudí sights sell out, the fountain only runs on certain nights, and pickpockets and tourist-trap menus wait for anyone winging it. This one does the timing, the booking and the budgeting for you.
This 27-page printable guide gives you 3 days and 2 nights in Barcelona, planned from breakfast to dinner, with the price of every stop in euros and a realistic budget. Admission fees and fares were checked in September 2026, including this year's changes (the doubled tourist tax, the new transit fares and the Magic Fountain's reduced schedule).
WHAT'S INSIDE
- A day-by-day plan: breakfast, morning, lunch, afternoon and dinner, in an order that saves walking and metro time, with named restaurants and prices
- The cost of every stop: admissions, fares and typical meal prices in euros
- Insider tips for every stop: when to arrive, what to skip, dress codes and how to dodge pickpockets
- A Google Maps link for every sight: tap it in the iPad edition for directions
- A book-ahead checklist of what sells out (Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló, 7 Portes), how far ahead to book and the official booking sites
- Plan B: exactly what to swap for a Sunday, a Monday, a night with no fountain show, rain, sold-out tickets or a transit strike
- Where to stay: the best area plus three hotel picks at different budgets (H10 Casanova, Hotel Acta Antibes, Mandarin Oriental)
- Ten things to know about Barcelona: the one-page cheat sheet to read before you land
- A neighborhood guide and a getting-around page that decides which ticket to buy (T-casual, Hola BCN, Aerobus or the airport train)
- A scams, pickpocket and local-rules page
- What to eat and drink: paella, bravas, bombas, jamón and churros, with real prices
- Money, tourist tax and tipping: what the new 2026 tax adds to your hotel bill
- A closed-days and hours table for every sight
- The seasons, entry and phone notes, 15 Spanish and Catalan phrases, emergency numbers, a packing checklist and a pre-trip countdown
- A full budget sheet: about €642-950 for one traveller (food, sights, transport and the hotel room; less each if two share the room), with a column for what you actually spend
- Two editions: a printable PDF and an iPad edition for GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app, with a tappable contents page
