      The best experiences in Barcelona are so much more varied than what you’d find on a top-10 travel list. From boisterous backstreet cava bars to brassy jazz basements to happy hour cocktails on a sprawling terrace, the things that make the city great are all simple snapshots of the local lifestyle. While it’s easy to get caught up in the tourist traps and miss out on the city’s authenticity, the most memorable experiences are the ones that reveal Barcelona’s unique culture. Our City Unscripted tours with locals playing the role of GPS, guidebook, and Google Translate, no experience is off-limits.
