Barcelona by Barcelona

This guide is for anyone interested in visiting Barcelona who wants to see the city like a local rather than just a tourist. This app will help you discover an authentic Barcelona, not just the typical touristic things. You'll see bars and restaurants that tourists don’t find, and you’ll share the sorts of experiences and places that Barcelona's most international and talented enjoy. You’ll visit the places that local Barcelonians find most attractive, and you’ll experience the city as if you were from Barcelona. You will enjoy the city much more that a tourist would.

We will help you find 150 authentic places in Barcelona thanks to the vision of 50 talented locals that explain their favourite places to visit, eat at, shop at or just enjoy like a ‘true Barcelona’ experience rather than just a touristic one.

Our friends are prominent local people like Custo, Jaime Rosales, Toni Segarra and Marcel Zamora, as well as other intellectuals, businessmen, doctors and professionals who, with their talent, make this city one of the most attractive in the world. They will explain their favourite places, what they like to do, just as if you're one of their friends.

Our guide will not only help you discover and show you why these are the most authentic places in the city, but it also helps you find the place too. The app tells you what recommended places are closest at all times and how far your destination is away.

We have organized locations in four blocks: Shopping, Seeing, Living and Eating out. Each has its own colour on the map. You can also search for places according to the area you are in, as well as by friends, the ‘people’ that have contributed. Finally, you can organize your own selection of places you like most.

This app has been developed by a group of people that, through Barcelona Global (www.barcelonaglobal.com), have joined forces to make Barcelona one of the most attractive places to visit and live.
