BARCELONA
Why Barcelona?
The upbeat, exciting vibe in Barcelona spreads beyond its tourist spots and central locations. There are so many hidden bars and clubs as well as food markets to try all the delicious Spanish cuisine.
Highlights
"Barcelona is an incredible city and I loved living there. Even though I was working 10 – 6 every day, the pace of life feels so much more relaxed, and people really value time to unwind with family and friends."

Transport
Barcelona is mostly a fairly flat city, where it's always sunny, so getting around by bike is a very good option. Barcelona has its own version of Boris bikes called Bicing. Also apps like Yego where you can rent mopeds all over the city for around 20 cents a minute.
It is also a good option to buy a T-10 card. With this card you will have 10 trips on all public transport, otherwise it’s €2.20 per ride. The metro runs 5am to midnight Sunday to Thursday, till 2am on Friday and 24 hours on Saturday.
Avoid Uber if you can. It’s a very small city, so its very easy to walk places. FreeNow is a reliable taxi service around the city.
