Buses are the preferred method of transport due to their relatively inexpensive cost and the lack of an established rail system. The bus system operates on federal, state, and municipal levels. While some people praise buses for their comfort and ability to see the real Brazil, others warn of potential crime issues and delays. Overall, bus travel provides a affordable transportation option used by millions in Brazil each year.

2. ERASMUS & INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS GUIDE 2012 – 2013
Introduction
Barcelona is the biggest city after Madrid and is situated
in the region of Catalunya. It belongs to Spain, but
everything is a little bit different here :-) It is a great city
which has to offer everything a heart of an Erasmus-
student desires!!
For those who like culture there are museums, history,
architecture, theatres and sooo much more! And if you like to party, you won’t
find a city better than than Barcelona!!! Great clubs, millions of bars and
restaurants!! Just come here and have the best time of your life! And with this
guide, we make sure that you will enjoy your stay in Barcelona!!
1. How to get to Barcelona:
I can recommend you to start as soon as you can to plan your trip/semester/year in
Barcelona because it’s an expensive city, but you can avoid the extra costs through
good organization! To get to Barcelona you should use the airport close to Barcelona –
Barcelona, El Prat (BCN). It is 30 minutes outside of Barcelona and the best way to get
to the city. You can also use the airport of Girona, a city which is around two hours
away from Barcelona.
I booked my flight on the internet page www.fluege.com which I can recommend to all
the German speaking students, but the website www.fly.com also offers very cheap
flights! It is all about searching a little and you should definitely do it! I can recommend
these two sites, but there are many special offers and prices on other websites! So
search for it! And do not book your flights separately! Normally it is cheaper to book
them together for getting there and return, than to book only one flight and then –
later – the other. And the earlier you book, the cheaper you get the flights! Some of the
companies offering a service which is called „Ticket Flex“ or something like this. It costs
around 8,00 Euro and when you use this service, you can change your flight for free. I
can strongly recommend it, because especially when you do not know when you exams
are or if you do not know, how long excactly you want to stay, you can change the date
of your flight for free.

3. ERASMUS & INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS GUIDE 2012 – 2013
Once you get to Barcelona, there is a cheap and very easy way to get to the center of
Barcelona: the áerobus. It is a shuttle which transfers the people from the two
terminals to the Plaza Catalunya and one tour costs around 5 Euros. After 30 minutes
you arrive there (there are other stations like Plaza Espana) and then you can take a cab
to your hostel or room (which I recommend to you if you are new to Barcelona and
have a heavy suitcase!), they are right in front of the station of the bus. Of course you
can also take the metro (Line 1, 3, 6, 7 and connection to the train Renfe).
2. Where to live in Barcelona?
I started searching for rooms in Barcelona very soon and I can definitely recommend
the following pages to search for rooms: www.loquo.com and www.idealista.com,! But
you should also look on facebook because there are also great advertisements from
students who are looking for roommates. (Erasmus Barcelona 2011 - 2012 (
Accomodation, Party and Language Ex. Help) → I found my room on this site on
facebook). Although they say that you could come to Barcelona without having any
place to stay...it is NOT that easy! I have a lot of friends who did it like this but they
were only changing their hostels and searching for rooms and not having a place to
stay! So I would recommend it to search before you get here!
Barcelona is an expensive city. But not so expensive that you are not able to find a room
for less than 300 € per month! My two rooms that I had in Barcelona cost 270/280 € per
month, located in Gracia. The first was a 9m2 room with a big bed and closet and was
located right next to the Park Güell. The second one was a very big room (16m2) close
to the metro station Fontana. So you see that it is possible to find rooms at an
acceptable price! If you are searching on the internet, you should definitely search for
rooms with pictures, because the Spanish habitants have another way of define „big“
and „sunny“ than we do! There are three different types of rooms: without window,
with window to a patio (interior) and window to a street (exterior). I would not rent a
room without windows, because it is just strange and you will need more electricity and
will not feel comfortable. A room „interior“ has the advantage to be quiet, but my
experience is, that it also could mean that you have a small window to a very small
patio in the middle of a house where they put their clothes. I would definitely prefer a
room „exterior“!
There are different parts of Barcelona where it is good to live and not recommendable
WWW.ERASMUSBARCELONA.COM
Page 3
4. ERASMUS & INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS GUIDE 2012 – 2013
to live! My favorite parts are Gracia and Eixample! Gracia has a very beautiful
neighbourhood with lots of alternative people and great bars and cafes! I lived there
and I really loved it! It has everything you need, is very well communicated and the
people are very nice and friendly! Eixample is right next to Gracia in the south and is
more expensive but also more elegant. It is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in
Barcelona and lots of the sightseeing spots are located in this part of Barcelona. Les
Corts are good for those, who will study at the UB (Universitat de Barcelona) and do
not want to live far away from the university. For women I recommend not to live in
Raval o Barri Gotic. Of course, there are always advantages and disadvantages of every
part of Barcelona!
More websites to look for accommodation are following:
loquo.com, bcn-housing-students.com, habitatgejove.com, habitaclia.com,
yaencontre.com, lloguerjove.com, enalquiler.com, idealista.com, easypiso.com,
bornliving.com, shbarcelona.com, segundamano.es, Suitelife.com
3. Transportation System
Barcelona has a good developed system of public transportation. The most important
means of transportation is the metro. Normally you can use it from 5 a.m. to 24 p.m
and on days of public holidays it is working the whole night! It is the fastest option to
travel and you can reach nearly every part of Barcelona with the metro. They are
different tickets you can use depending on how long you will stay and how much you
want to use public transportation. In general you can buy the tickets in every metro
station and with your metro ticket you can also use the bus and train lines. But there
are some things you have to consider before buying a ticket.
For students, who will stay one semester or more, I can recommend the travel card T-
Jove which costs 115,00 € for one zone and is valid for 90 days from the first validation.
A monthly ticket T-Mes costs 49,30 € and is also a good choice for students, who do
want to risk to lose their tickets and spend more than 100 €. For those who do not want
to travel so much with the metro because they are using bike or a vespa, I can
recommend the T- 50/30 ticket. It means that you can travel 50 times during one
month, which was totally sufficient for me the first month. For visitors, who would like
to stay not longer than a weekend, you might consider to buy the T-10 ticket, with
WWW.ERASMUSBARCELONA.COM
Page 4
5. ERASMUS & INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS GUIDE 2012 – 2013
which you have ten journeys and which is absolutely sufficient to discover the city and
costs 7,95 €.
With all those mentioned tickets you can also use the bus and train lines in the first
zone. For those who like to use the bus instead of the metro: there is an overview
about all the buslines and timetables on every busstation! But be careful! Buses are
often very crowded and moreover they are not always arriving on the expected time!
So consider this, when you want to use the bus. Moreover, during the day they need
much more time to get to the next station because of all the traffic and the traffic
lights! But during the night, the Night-buses are often the only way to get home after
you drank or ate something in a bar or visited a friend! The number of the night bus and
it's stations is marked on every busstation with the colour blue. Nearly all the night
buses come together at the Plaza Catalunya from where you can change the night bus
to get to your home.
But whichever way of public transportation you prefer, take care of your stuff! The
public transportation system is one of the most dangerous locations to lose your
belongings, although there is the police controlling the services. So watch your bags!
For more information you should visit the website of the TMB of Barcelona:
www.tmb.cat which includes all the information about tickets, timetables, lines and
also alterations.
4. Nightlife in Barcelona
In Barcelona you can make party all day long, every day of the week! There are so
many good parties every night and so many different clubs and bars for every taste!
You have the more elegant and modern clubs like Opium Mar, Sutton, Shoko and Hyde
Club but also many other clubs like Apolo, Razzmatazz and Bikini! If you want to get
free into every party I can recommend you the guest list of Shaz Diaz! You just contact
him for example on facebook, write your name on the list and get free entrance!! There
is no better way to enjoy all those great clubs for free!

5. General hints
Robbery
You should always be aware of the risk in robbery in Barcelona! I do not say this to
scare you, but lots of my friends were victims of robbery and lost their mobile phones,
identity cards, money and more...but if you follow some rules, you can avoid it!
First: never carry your bags or backpacks on your back! You should always try to carry
it in front of you, it does not matter if it looks stupid! Hold your bag and stuff tight,
because on some streets it could happen that they try to rip it off. You should wear all
your important stuff close to your body. And if you do not need it, better leave it at
home! I always was very careful so until now I was not a victim of robbery!
Weather
The climate in Barcelona is very humid so you will need some time to get used to the
different climate! Especially during the hot summer you can easily get ill by using the
sometimes very cold metro and then leaving again. The big advantage is, that it rarely
rains in Barcelona! Even during the winter season you have nearly all days sunny and
dry weather!! Normally the temperature does not go under zero, but you should be
aware that many of the flats do not have central heating!! So it can happen to get really
cold!
People
In general, the people in Barcelona are really nice and open-minded! But you should
not be surprised if they do not say thank you or are a little bit rude from time to time ;-)
They are just special ;-)
Language
Although Catalan is one of the official languages spoken in Barcelona, the habitants all
speak Spanish as well! Do not be afraid, that you maybe not understand something! I
spoke Spanish all the time and never had a problem with that. Although there are some
very conservative catalan persons who want to establish Catalan as THE language in
Spain...

Eating and drinking
La Rambla is strictly for strolling – avoid its overpriced restaurants and cafés, and
above all its terraces, where a Coke will cost you the same as a small handbag and beer
only comes in ‘Tourist’ size (about a litre). The best places in the centre to pick up picnic
fodder are La Boqueria market (on La Rambla) and the Mercat Santa Caterina (in the
Born). Many bars operate a three-tier payment system. Terrace seats attract the largest
surcharge, but the prices for being served at tables are often higher than sitting up at
the bar. Most restaurants in Spain served a cheap, fixed-price meal at lunchtime, known
as the menú del día. This is usually two or three courses with something to drink, and
costs around €10. The Spanish tend to tip very little in restaurants, and rarely tip cab-
drivers. The chain of restaurants of which Les Quinze Nits in the Plaça Reial is the most
famous, serves amazingly cheap (though not haute-cuisine) food in swish surroundings.
Other branches include the nearby La Fonda (C/Escudellers 10) and La Dolça Herminia
(C/Magdalenes 27). Good spots for picnics include the Parc de la Ciutadella, and the
Jardins Mossèn Cinto up on Montjuïc, where the air is much cooler.
Moving
Single tickets on the metro, bus and tram are €1.40, but buy a shareable T10 (€7.85) for
ten discounted journeys. You can buy them in metro stations, in estancos (tobacco
shops), and yellow ServiCaixa cashpoints. Multi-journey tickets such as the T10 allow
you to swap between modes of transport – metro, bus and tram – without paying extra,
as long as it’s within 1hour 15 minutes of validating the ticket. Enter the card into the
machine as normal, but it won’t subtract a trip. The tourist bus (Bus Turístic) is
expensive (€22 for 24hrs), but a book of coupons offering discounts on sights is
included.
The cheapest way to get in from the airport is either local bus (No.46) or, if you have a
T10 (see above), you could also use it to take the train. The price of taxis has increased
exponentially in recent years, but it’s rare that you’ll really need one, even late at night.
There are frequent night-buses, and the metro runs until 2am on Fridays and all night
on Saturdays. If you buy your ticket for the Bus Turístic on www.barcelonaturisme.com
you’ll get a 10% discount.
Sights and attractions
The following museums, galleries and sights are free to enter: Ajuntament, Temple
Romà d’August, Arts Santa Mònica, La Capella, Palau Güell, CaixaForum, Fundació Joan
WWW.ERASMUSBARCELONA.COM

Brossa, Museu de Carrosses Fúnebres, Hospital Sant Pau, Park Güell. As of April 2009,
all municipally run museums are free to enter on Sunday afternoons. On certain days
of the year, such as the Dia dels Museus (18 May), Santa Eulàlia (12 Feb), Sant Jordi (23
Apr), Corpus Christi (3 June), the Diada (11 Sept), and La Mercè (24 Sept), all museums
are free to enter. Kids’ attractions, such as the Zoo and the Aquarium, tend to be
expensive, but they’re often just as content with a stroll down La Rambla looking at the
street performers, or a trip to the sound and light show at the Magic Fountain just in
front of the MNAC.
If you’re planning on doing a lot (but really, a lot) of sightseeing and moving around, the
Barcelona Card can be a worthwhile investment. It costs €22 for two days/€27 for
three and provides unlimited free transport in the city, and discounts at various sights,
shops and restaurants, along with the airport bus. See www.barcelonacard.com.
The Articket is an excellent-value pass to the Fundació Miró, the MACBA, the MNAC, La
Pedrera, the Fundació Tàpies, the CCCB and the Museu Picasso. It costs €22 and is valid
for six months. See www.articketbcn.org.
In a similar vein but focused on things archaeological, the Arqueoticket is valid for a
year and allows unlimited visits to the Museu d’Arqueologia, Museu Barbier-Mueller,
Museu Egipci, Museu d’Història de Barcelona and Museu Marítim. It costs €14 and you
can buy it on www.barcelonaturisme.com.
If you are planning repeat visits to the Museu Picasso or the MACBA, invest in their
annual pass. The Carnet Picasso is €10 and the MACBA Passi is €12 and both allow
unlimited visits during one year. Longer-term visitors would do well to get a municipal
library card, which gives discounts on cinemas, theatres and in many shops.
Almost all churches are free to enter, including the spectacular Santa Maria del Mar in
the Born. During the Música als Parcs festival in summer, there are free classical
concerts on Thursday and Sunday nights, and jazz on Wednesdays and Fridays, in
various of the city’s parks. See www.parcsijardins.cat for details.
For a great (and free) view over the port and across the city, head up to the roof
terrace of the Museu d’Història de Catalunya. There’s also a café up there.
Discounted theatre tickets are sold on the afternoons of the shows at the underground
tourist office in Plaça Catalunya. Some museum tickets are valid for other museums or
attractions. A ticket to the Museu de les Ciències Naturals, for example, is also valid for
the Jardí Botànic, and a ticket to the Museu d’Història de Barcelona also gets you into

the Pedralbes convent and a handful of smaller museums.
Other useful tips
All cinemas have a ‘dia de l’espectador’; basically a cheap night. Usually it’s Monday,
but can be Wednesday – check the cartelera section of listings magazines or the Friday
newspaper supplements.
If you’re picking up provisions at La Boqueria, avoid the stalls at the front. They have
the most colourful displays, along with the most colourful pricing. Sales run from 7
January and the beginning of July, but are not particularly impressive until the second
wave of reductions about three weeks later.
Although it’s prime tourist season, many hotels offer cheaper rooms in July and August,
when they miss out on the business trade.
There are few public loos around town, but FNAC and El Corte Inglés on Plaça Catalunya
both have them.
The tourist office gives out free, but not terribly good, maps. For something better, and
also free, get hold of a bus map from the tourist office in Plaça Catalunya.
La Roca (www.larocavillage.com) is a discount shopping village about 40 minutes from
Barcelona. There are three buses a day; see the website for details.
If you’re planning on being here for any length of time, it might be worth investing in a
Spanish SIM card. These are available from FNAC or El Corte Inglés in Plaça Catalunya,
or any of the mobile phone shops around town. For FREE SIM CARDs see the end of this
book.
Clubs normally grant free or reduced entry before 2am if you are in guest list. These
are ubiquitous in bars and cafés around town. Visit www.BarcelonaParties.com to be in
guest list for best night clubs in Barcelona.
From October to May there are free organ concerts at the cathedral on the 2nd
Wednesday of the month. See www.euroconcert.org for details.
The council has recently installed 500 free WiFi spots around Barcelona. These include
libraries, museums, parks and gardens. Look out for the large blue signs with a W.
Hotel breakfasts tend to be expensive. Better to head out to a nearby bar for coffee

Most of Barcelona’s discount fashion outlets are along the C/Girona.
