Live demo: Barcelona.
Pick a moment. This is the Barcelona guide, end to end — every city works the same way.
01
BCN El Prat → Plaça de Catalunya. Aerobús, €7.75, 35 minutes.
Two terminals about 4 km apart — check yours before choosing. The Aerobús runs every 5–10 minutes straight to the centre, even after midnight. A taxi is metered, roughly €30–40.

Get connected, sort money, eat vermouth.
An eSIM keeps you online from the jet bridge. Pull euros from an ATM — skip the exchange booths. Then do as Barcelona does: vermouth at Morro Fi before anything else.

Gothic Quarter at golden hour, tapas in El Born.
Walk the old town as the light drops, then eat properly: rice at Can Solé, pouring since 1903, and a €25 menú del día at Ca l'Agut.

Sagrada Família today, Montserrat tomorrow.
The Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló all need timed tickets booked ahead — the walk-up line is the mistake. With a spare day: Montserrat, Girona, or the Costa Brava.
