Barcelona
Beach city with the best nightlife-to-culture ratio in Europe.
Travellers come here for nightlife, food, culture and meeting people.
When to go
Aim for May, June and July. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.

53 record vegetarian options and 31 record vegan ones.

Getting there
The airport is BCN. Barcelona is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $344, 1 stop. Found 24 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
