If it’s your first time in Barcelona, you might need to be provided with some help. This is what tourist offices are made for. The main Tourist information center in Barcelona is located in the busiest square in the city, however if you don’t know, where exactly it is, you might face some problems finding it, because it is under ground. That’s why if you’re looking for it, first you need to find “El Cortes Ingles” shopping center,

There are more centers that you can visit. One of those is located at the airport, so if you’re coming to Barcelona by plane, you don’t need to look for the underground one. And if for example your vacation rental in Barcelona is situated close to the Columbus monument, that’s where the third information center is located. Another office is just in the ground floor of city hall, however it has more limited opening hours and provides with less information. The last place where you can get some useful information is Barcelona Tourist Office - Cultural events in Barcelona, which does not help with anything else but information regarding cultural events.

If you’re new at traveling and don’t actually know, how this kind of offices work, you need to know that they can provide you with different kind of information about the city, sightseeing places, give you free maps of surroundings and underground and even help with finding the accommodation. However, it is better to find short term rentals Barcelona prior to your arrival, especially in summer, when there are a lot of different festivals and much more tourists than other time of the year.
