Our free activities in Barcelona are on foot. Usually the meeting point is a public place, such as a square, a metro stop, etc.

The 1-day excursions are by coach and the trips, depending on the destination, are by plane, train or coach.

In both cases, you must read the Excursion Card where you will find all the information such as the meeting point, the schedule, the transport, etc.

Your luggage will always depend on the time of year you travel, but here are some tips so you don’t forget anything.

Make sure to check the Excursion file before each visit where the minimum luggage requirements are indicated.

In general, don’t forget to bring the following items on your trips:

• Theft-proof backpack or bag: While no bag can be completely theft-proof, choose bags that have strong straps and that cross your body.
• Appropriate clothing for the weather: Make sure to check the weather with a weather app and make sure you have the appropriate clothing for the weather. Warm in winter, go cool in summer and in spring and fall be prepared for any type of weather.
• Comfortable and non-slip shoes that support the ankle well: the best way to enjoy cities, towns, gardens, museums … is walking! Make sure you have shoes with good support so you don’t tire your feet.
• Sunscreen: it is essential to prevent painful sunburn, especially in summer.
• Bug or Mosquito Spray: Some areas in summer can get hot and humid, making them a perfect environment for some insects to breed and live. No mosquito will be contagious with diseases in Spain, but they can bite you, so protect yourself especially if you are allergic or think you might have an allergic reaction.

In one-day activities and excursions, to eat, we give participants free time in towns and small villages, with different local bars and restaurants offering the menu of the day  with the best value for money.

It is also very common to have a picnic in a green area or park. Consult the Program of the visit to the Excursion File to know more.

On trips, normally the chosen hotels offer half board, which means that we will include breakfast and dinner. There is but check in the Travel Program in each case.

If you can do it, if once the reservation is confirmed you indicate it in advance to info@centroeuropeo.com, we must also remind the Guide at the beginning of the excursion.
