When we only have a short time to look around we always choose a tour on the Hop on Hop off buses.I think we have had a trip in every city and town we have visited. We always do a round trip and then choose where we want to hop off to have a look around and this served us well in Barcelona. But I wanted to show some photos around Barcelona because it reminded us so much of Melbourne, I think because of the way the city is set out but also the mixture of sporting venues, parks and the spectacular river area. Other advantages of the bus tours is that you are taken to all the major tourist attractions and you also have a tour guide on hand if you need directions or extra information.
