Awesome book Great Advice.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I got this book to go with me to while I studied abroad in Barcelona. It was a lifesaver. It has great condensed information with this highlights thing at the beginning with some incredible maps in the front/back cover. While it doesn't have every last activity for the traveler it has a solid list to start with and for the price you could buy a streetwise or other map for like $10 or you can invest a little more and get a map and a book. It also makes it nice that this book is pocket sized I mean not jeans pocket but any reasonable coat or purse it will fit easily. No more of the 20 pound travel book occupying an entire backpack. It really is great.
Useful, detailed map of the city
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a nice, detailed map of the main part of Barcelona's city. It has all of the major sites labeled right on the map, and it includes all streets, even the very small ones. It also has a subway map, which is a necessity. It doesn't include much of the outskirts, but that is fine for a map of this size. The plastic covering on the map has come in handy, but it isn't completely sealed, so it did leak in a little water when I used it in the rain. Glad I bought it - I would buy it again!
Best Barcelona Gudie Book Ever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My boyfriend and I had three days to spend in Barcelona and I'm so glad we had this book. It was super up-to-date (i.e., warning us ahead of time that the cable cars at Montjuic were under construction and non-operational) and the views on the suggested walking tours -- especially the Modernisme walking tour -- were gorgeous. Most importantly, the eating guide within was very helpful.
Lonely Planet Barcelona is Rock-solid.

We spent 3-1/2 months in Barcelona and almost wore out our copy of the Lonely Planet Barcelona 1st edition. We found so many fantastic restaurants that were recommended in Lonely Planet. This book is dead-on and gives an unbiased view of the city and the sights, good and bad.
Helpful

I found this book helpful and easy to use. I liked it better that Fodor's. Those travelling in Barcelona should be warned against the muggers. I was violently mugged less than a block from my hotel off of La Rambla. I heard many other similar tales from those who were in Barcelona at the time or have been there at other times.
