JustAnOrdinaryGirl Posted July 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi Im docking here 10am-10pm in September. Ive spent a few days here before so dont need to do the sights. Wondered about the cable car (which looks like its near the port??) and Las Ramblas stroll - is that feasible? I cant remember (unless someone wows with me another option). Would prefer not to do ship excursion but dont want to spend a lot of money/time/hassle getting somewhere. Got stung by taxis here before so dont want to use them. Any suggestions? As always THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!! Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted July 4, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Whats that got to do with my question on Barcelona? :confused: When someone quotes another response in their own, it means they are replying to that person, not to the original poster. In this case, sultan_sfo was responding to Heinbloed's response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmoMondo Posted July 5, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Justanordinary girl I've not used the cable car so cant comment on that other than to say I noticed the base station is near the cruise terminal. Las Ramblas is definitley doable in the time you have. It's a great place to stroll either up or down. If you also like shopping their are a couple of great shops at the top and in the Playa Catalunya (Cortes Ingles (sp/)). You can alos explore all the wee side streets of the Barrio Gotica (Gothic Area) which is just off the bottom section. There are lots of great restaurants and cafes in the old port area or there is also the man made beach. The metro is cheap and easy to get around in rather than expensive taxis. I know you say you have done a lot of the sights before, however if you haven't been to Parc Guell then I'd really recommend there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsacienne Posted July 5, 2009 #9 Share Posted July 5, 2009 You might also get the T tourist bus or the HOHO bus and see the sights. I could spend hours in the Sagrada Familia cathedral (a Gaudi special) and the Spanish Village (Pueblo Espanyol) is attractive and shows you the best of Spain without having to move from the spot!
