Leave your Vanathane, Fo-Mac, and roller rink wheels at home. Barcelona is a great city for roller skating with skating spots, sidewalks, beach boardwalks, and urban bike paths. If you join the tours on skates, or experience roller skating outside the Skate Love party areas, outdoor wheels will be strongly recommended. Also for your safety, protection gear can be advantageous, depending on your outdoor skating skills and personal preferences. Wrist guards are at any rate very useful and can prevent common injuries in outdoor skating. Use of a skating helmet could also be considered.

  • How do I get around in Barcelona?
    Barcelona has one of the best public transport systems in Europe, and the city center itself is really walk-able and comfortable to explore by bike, or even roller skates. The tickets for public transport which you purchase are valid for the metro, tram as well as the train, if you’re not leaving the city with the train. The train, however, would be the better option when you are getting to Badalona, or out of the city or for day trips. The Barcelona metro operates daily starting from as early as 5.00 am. On Friday night the metro runs until 2 am. And from Saturday night to Sunday, the metro operates all night long. Check out the schedule on the official website http://www.tmb.cat If you consider yourself a motorbike rider, renting a scooter will be an option. You can park almost everywhere around the city. Even better than a scooter is actually renting a beautiful classic Vespa. Renting a bike can also be a great option to get around Barcelona. And by car…? A rental car in Barcelona can be quite a hassle. The traffic is always busy, the parking spots are super limited, and even if you manage to score one, you will have to pay for parking. Also, driving through Barcelona by car can be very slow. There are 11.000 taxis to choose from. Fully licensed taxis in Barcelona are black with yellow sides/doors. At the airport taxis cannot beto hailed, you have to queue up to be assigned for waiting taxi at the taxi stands in front of Terminals (T1, T2). There is a minimum charge of 20 Euro for taxis from Barcelona Airport (if your hotel is near the airport check first to see if your hotel includes free shuttle service). You can also book Barcelona taxis using “Uber-like” apps, “Cabify” www.cabify.com “Free Now” https://free-now.com/uk/,”Ntaxi” https://www.ntaxiapp.com/, “pidetaxi” https://pidetaxi.es/ or “joinup” https://joinup.es/. Could be good to know: If you lose property or belongings in taxi contact the Barcelona Taxi Lost Property Helpline: Tel: +34 93 707 0600 or web https://taxi.amb.cat/en/usuari/objectes-perduts/formulari Take an Uber? Sorry. Uber and Lyft don’t operate in Barcelona. The app “Citymapper” https://citymapper.com/ (for Android and iOS) provides the best way through Barcelona’s public transit. It integrates data for all urban modes of transport, from walking, and cycling to driving, with an emphasis on public transport. Things to be attentive Due to its large influx of tourists each year, Barcelona, like many other tourism capitals, has to deal with pickpockets, with wallets and passports being commonly stolen items. For this reason, most travel guides recommend that visitors take precautions in order to ensure their possessions' safety, especially inside the metro premises. Despite its moderate pickpocket rate, Barcelona is considered one of the safest cities in terms of health security and personal safety.
