I put this guide together as a way to plan for my independent trip to Venice, Barcelona, and Seville. It is embarrassingly detailed, but it was unbelievably useful for organizing and navigating my trip. Although some of the material is context dependent (like getting to & from my hostels), it includes many other useful aspects like tourist attractions, best transportation methods, student prices, and city maps.
