Barcelona only
Im planning a trip to Spain but only plan to visit Barcelona before moving on to Nice and Monaco. Is Barcelona a good taste of Spain or am I ripping myself off by only staying there three days and moving on to Nice?

The ripping-off factor depends on how you get there and if you need to get back there to go home. That would be a bit wasteful for such a short stay. If you have a triangular arrangement - arriving from home in Barcelona and flying home from the South of France, then 3 days are better than nothing.
It is a very cool place - but also one of the best-known for pickpockets, so read up on how to guard yourself against that - for real, they are better at what they do than you are at keeping an eye on your stuff if you give them half a chance... It is not representative of "Spain" as such, just of that particular part where half the people don't even speak Spanish among themselves, so it is a very distinct region, but you'll love it. |
How long is you entire trip? Te answer depends on this.

Hi,
I've never been to Barcelona, but I've been to Nice and Monaco. Monaco really only requires a day or two. I did not like Nice at all. The salespeople and waiters were very rude and it was very dirty and boring. I'd say stay in Barcelona |
Barcelona is a lovely city. You can see a lot of it in 3 days.

We visited Nice 2 years ago and loved it. No one was rude to us , there are great restaurants, shops and museums in the city and around it.
We are planning another trip to Nice in May! different strokes for different.... |
Barcelona will offer you a taste of...Barcelona. Three days are better than none at all.
I agree that you can see and do a lot in three days in that city. |
I really love Barcelona and would go back in a New York minute! (One of these days I will.) I know nothing of Monaco or Nice, so I can't comment on those, but Barcelona is full of wonderful architecture.
I echo Wally's comment about thievery. We were having dinner at an outdoor restaurant when a young man came to our table and asked if we were enjoying the food. We thought he was a waiter until he left abruptly, and my sister's purse left with him. Wear a moneybelt! |
