Rare mom says Posted June 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Well, a little help would be nice. What types of things or activities interest you? Museums? Historic sites? Shopping ( don't laugh- that seems to be the main focus of interest for some cruisers)? Food/ wine tours? Unicycling down the main street? What?

Alakegirl Posted June 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2019 What are your ports? We can’t make any recommendations without knowing that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted June 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2019 And have you checked out the Ports of Call forum to see what has been discussed there, and your Roll Call to see what your fellow cruisers have planned? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted June 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2019 When I return to Barcelona, I will be doing a Gaudi tour. Didn't have enough time to see everything last time - I plan to go back to explore more of his works! I will likely do a private tour and invite a few people from the roll call.

Great idea...we did a few of the Gaudi places on our own...took tours there, always more to see...Read two great biographies before we went... all very enlightening! If we ever go back we would get advance tickets for a concert at the Music Palace..any language is okay..music is universal. We did the tour but all concerts were sold out! We also stumbled upon a great Roman restoration...underground in the old city... So much to do hope OP can narrow it down...staying there pre and post cruise gave us more time..,also went up in the mountains to the monastery to see the black madonna....a great Celeb excursion....very long drive! Other than major fear of pickpockets, we love Barcelona! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilikins Posted June 30, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2019 If you like architecture, or just beautiful things I agree with the others about doing a gaudi tour. If you like food, Barcelona has one of the biggest food markets in Europe - la boqueria. There are many wonderful food tours. If you like soccer there’s a massive stadium and a tour. Just depends what you are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbenboys Posted July 1, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 1, 2019 From Nice I enjoyed St. Paul de Vence, Ezo. You can look down on Monaco from the hills near Ezo. Nice it self is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted July 1, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Here’s my farovites of the Barcelona-Rome Run. Barcelona: we did on our own. Walked the Romblus, the major street on Barcelona and just fun to walk down and sit/eat/drink. Then walked to the Picasso Museum. One of the best of his. Livorno/Florence: We did the ship’s tour Florence On Your Own. Nice bus trip to Florence. Got on line well prior and got tickets to the art museums we wanted to visit - Uffizi and Galleria dell’Accademia. Not much more expensive than trying train/bus on your own and have the ship coordinating. Or you can just wander Florence if don’t get on line tickets. It is fantastic. Enjoy.
