When setting off on a whirlwind European adventure, it\u2019s tempting to pack your trip with stops in as many cities as possible. Thanks to popular discount airlines that can get you anywhere on the continent in a span of 1-3 hours, it\u2019s easy to become the globetrotter you\u2019ve always aspired to be. For those who don\u2019t have the money for an extra hotel bill or the extra time to spend the night in another city, a day trip is a great option.<\/p>\n

So, what do you do when you find yourself in London for two weeks itching to make your wildest Gaudi-inspired dreams come true? Book a day trip to Barcelona, of course. But here\u2019s the catch: with only one flight in and one flight out offered each day, the actual time spent in Barna adds up to a grand total of 7 hours.<\/p>\n

Places to See in Barcelona<\/h2>\n

How does one manage two international flights, along with the must-see attractions and still leave time for meals? With some very thorough planning, careful time management and a little affinity for living life on the edge, here\u2019s how you can make your seemingly impossible Barcelona-in-a-day dreams come true.
\nBefore you go<\/p>\n

Plan, plan, plan! I can\u2019t say this enough. You need to know how you are getting to and from the city and the airport, how to navigate the metro system, times and locations for everything you want to see and make sure all routes\u2014 whether via metro or on foot\u2014 are mapped out beforehand. The Barcelona metro makes life easy with a free app that works without Wi-Fi, which is a lifesaver when you are wandering around without phone service.<\/p>\n

Make an itinerary and stick to it. Keep in mind you may not be able to spend all the time you want to at every place you go. Regardless of the time crunch, you are still spending the day in Spain, so take the time to appreciate everything and soak it in, but keep up the pace.<\/p>\n
