A customized and specialized guidebook for your trip to Barcelona, ​​the highlight of your trip to Spain!
The latest revised edition for 2024-2025, curated with essential Barcelona information in an easy-to-read format!

See Barcelona at a glance with various regional maps and large mobile maps!
QR codes are linked directly to Google Maps, making this guidebook even smarter!

First published in 2014, “Barcelona Holiday” has returned with a revised third edition after 10 years.
In a market where most guidebooks cover all of Spain, this book, tailored and specialized for just one region, Barcelona, ​​provides readers with both freshness and usefulness, and has been consistently loved for many years.


In particular, despite its compact size, "Barcelona Holiday" includes detailed maps for each region, making it ideal for sketching out a broad outline of an unfamiliar travel destination. The large pocket map included as an appendix is ​​a great help when planning an itinerary.
This large map of Barcelona in Korean is popular because it is difficult to obtain.
Of course, Google is very useful when you're actually using public transportation or walking, but knowing where everything is is crucial to getting the big picture of your trip.
That's why large maps are still very useful.


It is no exaggeration to say that Barcelona is an open-air art museum of architect Gaudí.
Each and every building created by his imagination and passion is so beautiful that it is impossible to capture it completely in a camera lens.
If you don't want to miss the traces he left behind, grab a highlighter and spread out the map of "Barcelona Holiday."
This at-a-glance map includes all the must-see courses you can't miss.
Not only Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Vicens, and Casa Mila, but even the streetlights in Plaça Rayão, Gaudi's first work, are meticulously marked.
If you draw a line connecting these, you'll complete the Gaudí Route! If you've seen all of Gaudí's works without missing a single one, your trip to Barcelona will be a perfect one.
Your trip will be perfect.

The large subway map, updated to the latest version in 2024, is also a must-have for travelers.
In particular, in this revised edition, major stations are written in large letters in Korean and Spanish, making it easy to see where each station is, even though it is a complex route map.
Since the subway stations that travelers mainly use are fixed, your trip will become much easier if you just familiarize yourself with the major subway stations.


Also worth noting is the Smart Travel Preparation section, which covers how to purchase an eSIM card and use smartphone apps like the Spanish taxi app FreeNow.
This is what has changed in this revised edition.
As the digital environment has changed rapidly in recent years, we have tried to reflect these changes as much as possible in the guidebook.
In a world where readers can easily access the latest information by simply utilizing their smartphones, surprisingly few people use their smartphones 100% effectively while traveling.
〈Barcelona Holiday〉 provides helpful guidance on how to use your smartphone while traveling.


Discover the hottest, newest, and most diverse Barcelona!
A bucket list of things to see, eat, sleep, and do in Barcelona!
Discover the dynamic Las Ramblas with this comprehensive exploration guide.

Barcelona is the least suited to package tours where you just snap a photo and then rush off to the next attraction.
A place where you can see, hear, and feel while walking slowly at your own pace.
We'll share tips on how to explore Las Ramblas as a free-spirited traveler.
A useless street with running sewage was transformed into the center of the city after three years of construction.
It has now become an essential route for both Barcelona residents and tourists.
It may seem hidden, but once you step inside, you'll find a vast square and cathedrals, a market where you can experience the local life, a performance hall, a theater, an art gallery, and Gaudi's masterpieces.
We guide you so that you can properly see and enjoy the street.

The pinnacle of passion, a true flamenco experience completes the hottest Barcelona trip.

Along with bullfighting, flamenco is one of Spain's two major tourist attractions and a must-see for any trip to Barcelona! We'll cover everything from tarantos performances, where you can enjoy high-quality flamenco on stage, to tablao performances, where you can enjoy the show while enjoying a meal or drinks.
Immerse yourself in the powerful footwork and fluttering skirts of female dancers.
You will see, enjoy and feel the new Barcelona that has never been seen before.

Full of sweat and cheers, introducing the dynamic Camp Nou and the BEST 5 clubs.

Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona, ​​the largest stadium in Europe and the 11th largest in the world.
The book suggests two ways to enjoy Camp Nou.
One is the official tour program where you can learn about the history of the football club and the achievements of its representative players at the FCB Museum, and even tour the Camp Nou stadium.
Another option is to attend an FC Barcelona match live! Located in a quiet neighborhood seemingly outside the city center, it transforms into one of the hottest spots in all of Barcelona on match days.
Either one is fine.
Feel the passion of Barcelona.
During the 23/24 season, matches were played at the Olympic Stadium of Montjuïc due to Camp Nou construction, but from the 24/25 season, matches will be played at Camp Nou again with limited spectators, but the number of spectators will gradually increase as the stadium is completed.


Top 5 hottest clubs, just as exciting as a football stadium! Experience Barcelona firsthand at these clubs, where music and dancing await.
If you are a young man more beautiful than flowers, rather than a grandpa or grandma with weak physical strength, don't miss the clubs on Montjuïc Hill and the clubs by the beach.

A list of Barcelona's festivals and art galleries brimming with emotion, all in one place!

No matter how hard you try to carve out your time, you won't be able to see all the art galleries and museums in Barcelona.
If so, the answer is to simply explore the gems! Must-see destinations include the Picasso Museum, which houses little-known early works by the master, the Barcelona Museum of Modern Art, which showcases contemporary art trends, and the National Museum of Catalan Art, which showcases the majesty of medieval Christian art.
We also provide tips on art tickets that allow you to visit all six museums.
In particular, the list of festivals, including the Mercé Festival that heats up Barcelona, ​​is an important tip for planning your travel itinerary.

From tour buses to bicycles and Segways, there are many ways to explore Barcelona.

You can get on and off the tour bus freely.
Perfect for travelers with unpredictable schedules.
In particular, double-decker tour buses are a bit more specialized than in other cities.
When your feet start to hurt, hop on one of the red buses scattered throughout the city.
It will be a great way to see Barcelona in a special way.
If you're a backpacker, walking is your job.
But just as you can't live on bread alone, walking every day can be a bit boring.
Sometimes, try using a bicycle or Segway.
Pedal hard and breathe in the fresh Barcelona air.
You can enjoy the sights even on narrow roads that are inaccessible by car while maintaining a reasonable speed.
This is the secret to exploring Barcelona in its most diverse way.

It even includes travel destinations near Barcelona!
You've never missed Tibidabo, Madrid, Seville, or Ibiza, you're a travel savvy person!

We introduce beautiful cities near Barcelona that you can easily visit.
From Tibidabo, the most convenient day trip from Barcelona, ​​to Madrid, a city perfect for exploring from Barcelona, ​​Seville, the birthplace of flamenco, and Ibiza, known for its vibrant music and ocean views.
We offer a variety of schedules, from a minimum of one day to a three-night, four-day trip.
If you follow the schedule laid out by the Barcelona expert, you will have plenty of time to go on a trip to the nearby area.
How? Because it reduces the time spent wandering, reduces the time spent worrying, and neatly eliminates the shabby, pointless stuff!
