## How the three days work

The first two days cover Gaudí, the old town and Montjuïc, as in the 2-day route. The third covers the eastern old town and the sea: El Born, Parc de la Ciutadella and Barceloneta are close together and easy on foot.

The Picasso Museum and MNAC close on Mondays, so put the museum days on other days of the week. Head to the beach after 4pm, when the heat eases, and eat paella at lunchtime.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update.

## Day three: El Born and the sea

Start with Santa Maria del Mar while entry is free, then the Picasso Museum on Carrer de Montcada on a timed ticket. Have lunch in El Born's bars, then stroll into Parc de la Ciutadella for the cascade and the rowing lake.

From the park it's 15 minutes to the sea: Barceloneta beach, the promenade and the sunset. Have dinner in the old fishermen's quarter with bombas and seafood, and if you still have energy, walk along the port to the [Columbus Monument](https://yesgo.io/spain/barcelona/columbus-monument).

## If you have more time

A fourth day suits [Montserrat](https://yesgo.io/spain/barcelona/montserrat) and its monastery and trails, a fifth the [Dalí Theatre-Museum](https://yesgo.io/spain/barcelona/dali-theatre-museum) in Figueres or [PortAventura](https://yesgo.io/spain/barcelona/portaventura) on the coast. In the city itself, there's [Tibidabo](https://yesgo.io/spain/barcelona/tibidabo) and the [Palau de la Música](https://yesgo.io/spain/barcelona/palau-de-la-musica).

## Tips

- Museums: not on a Monday.
- The beach after 4pm.
- The 10-ride T-casual card saves money.
- Churches require covered shoulders and knees and no beachwear; walking around town in swimwear is not allowed.
- Spain uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere. Book the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gaudí houses ahead on their official sites, which list entry times and closing days.
