Can anyone recommend a safer area, not too far from sites and can avoid the metro?
Thank you,
Jamie

Hostal Girona is about a 10-minute walk from Barcelona Nord bus station. It’s a Cheapo pick with affordable rooms, old-world style, and a location near central Barcelona. https://djddz.com/barcelona/hotel/hostal-girona.html

What area would you recommend? Thanks

I personally would not go back due to the rampant crime that I witnessed and experienced first hand. If I had no choice and was required to go back — I would do everything possible not to stay at a hotel any where near La Rambla. You are now warned! Be safe!

Didn’t mean to be hard on Irish bars or Irish people, just that there are usually (not always) a lot of tourists in them especially in the Gothic part of Barcelona, which means they are a target. I had an English friend and an American friend robbed in different Irish bars here – one on La Rambla and one off Pl. Juame, and these friends are world travelers!

I just want to state again that Barcelona is not dangerous, but if you aren’t paying attention you might get robbed. It’s just the way it is, sadly.

Sorry you took the post the wrong way.

Regina

It sounds like Barcelona is riddled with crime but I’ve not experienced anything like that in Ireland.
