Essentials to pack for Barcelona

Hi there party animals 🐙🐢🐴

Barcelona is a city of many faces. Whether you’re visiting for the museums, the well known nightlife, or the hot and sunny beach days; this city is sure to give you an array of different tastes, feels and flavors. Pack smart and prepare yourself for an adventure one of the most architecturally inspiring cities has to offer. 🇪🇸

Comfortable Flats: No matter on what season you are planning to travel, closed-toe shoes are essential to pack! Everything is walking-distance in Barcelona and many of the streets are old and uneven, so you want to make sure to pack your best pair of flats.

International Adapter: You must be aware that the power outlets that they use in Spain are different from the ones in the US. So to avoid the stress of looking for an international charger once you get there, be smart and plan to buy one beforehand.

Portable Charger: Barcelona is a city with a wide range of tourist attractions, and you will be most of the day outside exploring the vibrant city and—of course—taking pictures. Likely, if you don’t want to risk running out of battery in your electronic device, while visiting an important tourist site, carrying a compact portable charger will be a lifesaver!

Stylish Outfit: Barcelona has one of the best nightlife scenes in all of Spain! Plus, it is a very stylish city, and fashion is a big thing there. So make sure to pack at least two fantastic outfits for the night that will make you look stunning!

A zip-close bag: Unluckily pick-pocketing is very common in Barcelona—especially in busy areas—so we highly recommend you to carry a small hand-bag with a zipper to keep your documents and money safe. The last thing you want is to turn your dream vacation into a nightmare!

Packing Cubes: From the moment that you check-in your luggage at the airport, to the moment that you enter your hotel room, your bag goes through what seems like a rollercoaster. This is why we recommend you to bring packing cubes to keep your belongings organize, and easy to find, when you are looking for that specific, favorite, red top!

Sunscreen: Barcelona has the Mediterranean climate with very hot and dry summers; hence, it is very important to protect your skin from the harmful UVA rays. Moreover, if you are planning to go to the beach and get that sexy summer tan, don’t forget to apply sunscreen beforehand!

Scarf: We know you may have not even considered this, but a shawl or scarf is one of the must-have essential accessories. Since some attractions are a bit more conservative than others, it will be expected that you dress more modest. So you can have your shawl or scarf on hand, and take it out when you need it! Plus, wearing a scarf it’s seen very fashionable and glamorous!

Keep it cool and venture on! 🗺
