If you’re planning a solo trip to Barcelona then you’ve come to the right place for information, recommendations, and advice to add to your Barcelona itinerary.
After visiting the city quite a few times you will pick up tips for visiting Barcelona and the best ways to explore the city as a solo traveler.
Barcelona is one of the most beautiful places in Europe with plenty of things to do, really good weather and absolutely delicious food.
In this Barcelona solo travel guide, you will find tips for exploring Barcelona alone, the best places to stay in Barcelona for solo travellers, and the best tours in Barcelona for solo travellers.
Reasons to Visit Barcelona Solo
1. Lots of opportunities to meet people
One of the best reasons to visit Barcelona as a solo traveller is that there are lots of opportunities to meet people and make new friends.
If you’re traveling alone, you may want to make friends whilst you’re at it. This is one of the best ways to step out of your comfort zone and explore a new place uniquely.
Often you will find that meeting new people will give you recommendations on things you didn’t think to do in the destination and trying new things.
In Barcelona, there are lots of opportunities for you to meet new people and you’ll find that most people are very friendly too. When visiting Barcelona solo you will find that people are really chatty everywhere so it isn’t a hard task to make friends at all.
You’ll find that you can meet people at hostels (if you’re staying in one), there’s lots of activities that are with groups to make friends and even when you’re out eating dinner, the casual setting makes it much more inviting to chat with others.
2. Plenty of activities for solo travelers
As we mentioned in the last point, there are lots of activities that welcome solo travellers together so that you have a good opportunity to meet new people.
You will never feel alone or homesick in Barcelona because there are so many different tours and activities to join that invite people to mingle.
Later in this post, you will find some tours that we particularly recommend for solo travellers in Barcelona.
3. Affordable hostels for solo travelers
There are a lot of different places to stay in Barcelona but if you’re a solo traveler then hostels are the best places to stay.
You will find that there are a lot of activities at the hostels that are for people to get to know each other. Depending on the hostel, you can often expect beer pong, karaoke and different parties.
There are often also culture-related activities such as free walking tours, and sangria/margarita-making classes and we’ve even seen some that offer paella-making classes too.
Another highlight of staying at these hostels is that for everything that is included with the hostel, they are often really affordable considering that Barcelona is a capital city.
The hostel vibe is one of the best reasons to visit Barcelona as a solo traveler. It makes for a really fun, affordable experience to explore a new city.
4. Great transport links
Sometimes when you venture to a new place as a solo traveller, it can be a little tricky to get around and the attractions are far apart from each other.
This is one of the reasons that we love Barcelona because a lot of the main sights are within walking distance of each other. The ones that are not at a good distance are easily accessible by public transport.
In Barcelona, you can use either the metro which is quite affordable, public bus, driving, taxis, uber, and the tourist bus too. This makes it easy and budget-friendly for any solo travellers exploring around Barcelona.
5. Awesome nightlife
For those who want to experience some of Barcelona’s nightlife, you’ll be delighted to know that it is one of the best places to let your hair down and have a good time.
There are plenty of secret bars within Barcelona, you just have to know where to look! Not just that but there are plenty of not-so-secret parties too! If you’re looking to party the night away then you’ve definitely come to the right place.
As always, if you’re planning to head out partying whilst you’re in Barcelona then you want to make sure you take measures to keep yourself safe traveling solo.
6. Lively atmosphere
Whether you choose to go out partying in Barcelona or not, you will find that the city has a very lively atmosphere making it hard to not fall in love.
Barcelona is mostly a bustling hub throughout the year so you will always find plenty of activity and it’s great for people-watching. There is something about walking through Barcelona and feeling the vibe of everyone buzzing and excitement around nearly every corner.
As the locals tend to eat much later in Spain, you will find that even late at night there is still excitement. You can walk into the street at 11 pm and you will still find locals casually eating and chatting for dinner.
7. Easy dining alone options
Following on from that, as a solo traveller, you will really enjoy the dining arrangements in Barcelona.
As dinner time is quite casual across Spain, you will find that locals will sit outside to enjoy their tapas dishes and take their time eating food.
Sometimes, eating alone when you’re abroad can be one of the most lonely feelings but when you’re in Barcelona, it is so common to eat late at night.
The casual vibe of dinner time in Barcelona, makes eating alone feel much less lonely. You will find yourself feeling relaxed and at ease.
Dinner time is also a very sociable experience in Barcelona so you may find that locals may want to chat with you across the tables. This is a great way to meet local people and learn more about Barcelona and Spain’s culture.
Is Barcelona safe to travel alone?
When you’re traveling on your own, one of the most important things to consider is your safety.
One of the downsides of traveling around Europe is being mindful of pickpockets when you’re out and about. Unfortunately, this is no different in Barcelona as much as we wish it wasn’t.
Some areas in Barcelona are considered higher risk for pickpockets than others. We would recommend taking more care around Las Ramblas when you’re exploring Barcelona. This area in particular can be a particularly unsafe area of Barcelona.
No matter where you’re traveling, you will often find that there are problems with pickpockets so it is always worth taking extra precautions.
Generally speaking, we found Barcelona to be a very safe destination to visit and experienced minimal problems. Like most places you visit, there are areas in which you need to be more cautious.
When you’re traveling in Barcelona solo, you will find that most people are really friendly and always up to help. Just as we say, keep an eye out for pickpockets, keep an eye on your drinks, watch out for tourist scams and you’ll be grand!
Is Barcelona Safe for Solo Female Travelers?
Travelling as a solo female is a very different experience and you can sometimes encounter different safety concerns than you would as a male.
Amy felt very safe exploring Barcelona as a solo female traveller and didn’t experience any issues at all. No matter where you’re traveling, we would always suggest taking precautions for your safety.
This can include researching areas that could be unsafe, any tourist scams you need to keep an eye out for, etc. We would also suggest that whenever you’re traveling on your own as a female keep an eye on your drink at all times or look at purchasing tools to prevent your drink from being spiked.
In our opinion, Barcelona is a very safe destination for solo female travelers as long as you take the usual precautions. We would recommend avoiding wandering around the Las Ramblas area late at night on your own. Other than that, you shouldn’t have any concerns about traveling to Barcelona as a solo female traveler.
Tips for Exploring Barcelona Alone
1. Purchase a Go City Pass
When you’re traveling on your own, costs can soon start to add up for attractions. If you’re spending a few days in Barcelona then we recommend considering purchasing a Go City Pass for Barcelona.
These passes are really good value for money and something that Amy wishes she had known about when she visited Barcelona as a solo travelers.
We were able to save so much money using the Go City pass and it also enabled us to visit a lot more attractions by using it than Amy did when she was a solo traveler.
This is something that you can easily save up for and purchase before traveling to Barcelona. This gives you the peace of mind that once you arrive, you only need to budget money for food and souvenirs so you won’t need to carry around as much cash in Barcelona.
If you’re not certain that it will be worth the money, we recommend writing down all the attractions that you’re planning to visit in Barcelona and how much it would cost.
Then compare this against how much it would cost to purchase a Go City pass for the number of days that you are in the city. We are certain that you will find that it is much cheaper to purchase one of these passes.
2. Stay in hostels
As a solo traveler, one of the best ways to enjoy the experience is by sharing it with other travelers and making new friends.
There are plenty of amazing hostels to stay in around Barcelona that you will be truly spoilt for choice. We really enjoyed staying in St. Christopher’s Inn because it had a lot of different free activities where you can get to know the culture and meet other solo travelers in the process.
3. Take part in tours for solo travelers
If you’re looking to meet some new people but you would rather stay in a hostel then there are also plenty of tours that you can join in so that you can make friends.
The one thing that we really enjoyed about Barcelona is that it is a really diverse place to explore so there is a little something for everyone.
Whether you are a foodie, art lover, drinks connoisseur or just looking for picturesque Instagrammable spots, you will find a tour for you. You’ll also find plenty of inspiration for catchy Barcelona captions to go with your Instagram post too!
Later in this guide, you will find some recommended tours specifically for solo travelers. This is where you will find tours that are great for exploring Barcelona and you don’t feel alone also.
4. Go on a free walking tour
If you have a low budget for traveling then you need to take advantage of some of the free activities in Barcelona. Joining a free Barcelona walking tour is a perfect way to get to know the city and save the pennies for other experiences.
You’ll get to find local knowledge about Barcelona, and have a guide on hand to answer any questions, and of course, it is completely free.
These tours are also perfect for anyone who has a short amount of time in Barcelona so that you can see a lot of the main sights in a short period of time.
5. Be careful around Las Ramblas late at night
We’ve mentioned a few times now that Las Ramblas isn’t the safest area of Barcelona, especially for a solo traveler.
However, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t visit Las Ramblas at all. It is one of the main areas to explore in Barcelona. It can be a bit of a trap for pickpockets so as long as you keep yourself protected against pickpockets, you shouldn’t have too much trouble.
If you’re walking back to your hostel late at night, where possible we would recommend avoiding walking down Las Ramblas alone. You can find that there are a few characters best to avoid in this area so it’s worth trying to get back a different route or getting yourself a buddy to walk home with or a taxi.
6. Purchase a Hola Barcelona Travel Card
As a solo traveler, expenses can soon add up for traveling around a city using public transport. We recommend purchasing a Hola Barcelona Travel Card in advance to save yourself money.
You can choose between 2 days (48 hours) up to 5 days (120 hours) and have unlimited use on the metros, funiculars, buses, trams, trains, and even the airport bus.
This travel card is well worth the money and a great way to save money in Barcelona. We discovered this travel card on the last full day of our trip to Barcelona and we wish we had found it much sooner. It would have saved us so much time and money!
PURCHASE YOUR HOLA BARCELONA TRAVEL CARD HERE!
7. Keep your bag close to you
You may have noticed that we’ve mentioned about pickpockets in Barcelona quite a few times. Unfortunately, pickpockets are common across Europe and other countries in the world.
When you’re out and about visiting busy tourist attractions, keep your bag as close to you as possible. If you’re wearing a backpack then try to wear it on your front to deter people from getting into your bag.
Alternatively, it might be worth considering getting an anti-theft cross-body bag for when you’re out during the day. Keep a close eye on your belongings and where possible, leave any valuables at home!
Best Places to Stay in Barcelona for Solo Travelers
As a solo traveler, it is really important to pick the right place to stay when you’re traveling, no matter where in the world it is.
When you’re traveling on your own, you can find that there are a lot of hotels that will charge the same price (if not more) for single occupancy. Often, it is much cheaper and better value for money to book a bed at a hostel.
With that in mind, hostels are not for everyone so we’ve created a list below of the best hotels and hostels for solo travellers in Barcelona.
You’ll find that with these recommended hotels and hostels for Barcelona, we have tried to keep them as budget-friendly as possible.
Best Hostels for Solo Travelers Barcelona
If you’re going to stay at any hostel in Barcelona then our first choice would be St. Christopher’s Inn. When we first arrived here, the first thing we noticed was that it was really clean. They had closed one of the floors to do a deep clean and it was reassuring to know that this is done regularly.
We really enjoyed that there was an on-site bar and restaurant so if you’re exhausted from backpacking, this is an easy place to stop and grab a bite to eat.
It is a really sociable hostel with plenty of communal areas for you to mingle and chat with other travelers. There is also a pool table in the bar area which is great fun to talk to people and enjoy a friendly game.
There are also lots of activities to enjoy which is a great way for travelers to meet each other. At the time we visited, there were walking tours, paella cooking classes, and cocktail-making lessons.
The only downside that we would say with staying at St. Christopher’s Inn is that they have these eco-friendly showers which have a 1 minute timer on them. When you’re showering, you need to keep pressing the button to activate the shower which makes it difficult when you’re juggling your toiletries etc.
We did find that the lockers were under the bed and you had to pull the crate all the way out to store your items. They were also metal bars with holes in so you had to be really careful that nothing fell into the crate otherwise it would get lost under the bed. However, the lockers were quite large so you could fit a lot of things in them.
The dorm rooms have quite a few travelers in them but this is not always a bad thing as it’s an opportunity to meet more people. With such a central location, this hostel is a great place to stay for solo travelers, especially for those who are looking for a more social experience.
Pros:
- Really clean
- Central location
- Great activities
- On-site bar
- Pool table
Cons:
- Large dorm rooms
- Timer on showers
- Under the bed lockers
The Gothic Quarter is a great area to explore within Barcelona and this hostel is located right in the middle of it! This is a really great location to explore Barcelona and is recommended for ease of wandering.
We found that the social areas are really well put together with a ping-pong table to encourage other travelers to mingle with each other. There are also hammocks in the outside communal area which are great for chilling during the summer.
Unfortunately, not all of the dorm beds have curtains which can be a bit of a downside for privacy. We don’t know about you for some reason, but having a curtain around your bed makes you feel much more secure.
There are a lot of friendly activities available at this hostel as well which is a great way to explore the city, learn more about Barcelona’s culture, and of course meet other travelers.
Pros
- Great communal area
- Plenty of sociable activities
- Very good location
- Affordable breakfast options
Cons
- Not all dorm beds have curtains
- Limited kitchen facilities
If you’re a solo traveler that likes to have their own space then having a private room at Primavera Hostel is a great place to stay in Barcelona.
Staying in a dorm room isn’t for everybody so staying at this hostel, you will have a private experience for an affordable cost. You will also be able to enjoy the social aspects of a hostel without sharing your space too.
There are dorm rooms available at the hostel but the private rooms are absolutely beautiful. The one thing that we really like about this hostel in particular is that it has a really homely vibe.
The kitchen is large with plenty of space for anyone that would prefer to cook food at the hostel. There are not many downsides that we can say about this hostel. It is a really great choice for your stay in Barcelona!
In honesty, the reviews speak for themselves regarding Primavera Hostel and it is amazing to see a hostel done right!
Pros
- Great location
- Lots of Private rooms
- Homely vibe
- Large kitchen
- Well reviewed
Cons
- Not a very sociable hostel
- No air-conditioning
Best Hotels in Barcelona for Solo Travelers
As we say, hostels are not for everyone and some people like to have their own space or maybe a little bit more or maybe a little more introverted.
It can be hard to find an affordable hotel as a solo traveler especially as they are often the same price (sometimes more) than if there were two of you staying in a room.
We’ve added some details for hotels that are really good for solo travelers and in a good location for the main attractions in Barcelona.

While this motel isn’t located directly in the center, it is very close to the metro station so you will still easily be able to get around Barcelona.
In our opinion, if you’re a solo traveler in Barcelona on a little bit more of a budget then this would be our recommendation. We find that the Motel looks as though it should be more expensive than it is with its modern vibe and beautiful decor.
