10 Apps to download before traveling to Barcelona

1. FreeNow

One of the best apps to order a taxi that quickly brings you to your destination. With more than 10 million users and 45,000 registered taxis, Mytaxi is very reliable and safe transport solution and a must have app for Barcelona.

2. Bicing

Sharing bikes and getting around the city in a short time has never been as easy as with Bicing. With its must have app for Barcelona, Bicing allows you to use one of more than 6,000 bikes there and makes a great user experience. 

3. Yego 

For those who prefer electric mobility without any riding efforts, Yego is a perfect solution to move in Barcelona. With its e-scooters you have another good option to get around quickly.

4. Yelp

We all know it – you are hungry or want to rest for a bit and know that there must be some place around that is really good. If you don’t want to ask the locals or simply don’t want to rely on a single person’s recommendation, Yelp is a helpful restaurant and café finder. With many reviews and even menus for most restaurants you can make fully informed decisions and find the best food places in Barcelona! 

5. TheFork

Barcelona has amazing food but unfortunately many restaurants are fully-booked if you just show up and ask for a table. TheFork is a popular online reservation app where many restaurants participate and you can even get discounts through it. This way, you win twice by getting a guaranteed table and even save money!

6. Time Out

Did you ever leave a city and just found out afterwards which amazing events took place while you were there? Even if not, Time Out is a recommendable app to stay informed about all the fun activities going on in the city and choose the ones you like most- definitely a must have app for Barcelona! 

7. Barcelona Official Guide 

What could be better to explore Barcelona than a travel guide designed by the city itself? Certainly one of the first apps to ask for advice when arriving with availability in different languages and an interactive map system.

8. Spotted by Locals 

Quite a different concept, but very fun way to explore Barcelona! Locals of the city enter spots that you should check out and you kind of get a to do list based on their expert input.

9. Miniguide Barcelona 

An app for rather unconventional people, Miniguide is a perfect buddy to explore uncommon places in Barcelona. With various filters such as LGBT or clubbing, you can quickly tailor the app’s recommendations to your interests.

10. Google Maps

Surely, this one must not be missing. Whether you want to walk somewhere on the fastest route, or need information on the best public transport connection, Google Maps got you covered and is better than any paper map. As long as you have battery, you can not get lost this way in Barcelona.
