We all want to enjoy the best without having to pay the ridiculously high prices. City breaks have become much more important to us in these stress ridden times, taking a short break to some of the top city’s in Europe is a logical step. I have picked my 5 favourite restaurants, clubs and activities in Barcelona all at affordable prices to show why having a small budget should not curtail your fun.

Barcelona can be very expensive to American tourists for many reasons, primarily the awful exchange rate from Euros to the American dollar. Although it appears to be incredibly expensive, there are ways to have an inexpensive day in this city.

You and your friends can go to the Boqueria located in the middle of Las Ramblas where you can purchase ingredients to make a sandwich. For only seventy cents you can buy bread and it costs very little for you to buy lunch meet or a whole sandwich. To finish off the day bring your sandwiches to Park Guell and have a picnic while you view the amazing and historic architecture of this park.
