Yes, Barcelona activities on the ground are worth it. While you can always wander Las Ramblas on your own, booking a highly rated structured activity ensures you'll maximize your time in the city while having fun and learning about the beautiful backdrop in the process. These activities are especially rewarding if you book them on the first full day of your trip. Whether you're on a Segway tour or a walking tour, you'll get the lay of the land and be better equipped to explore on your own later on.

Per one customer who booked Barcelona in 1 Day: Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, Old Town & Pickup, "This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the essential aspects of Catalan history, art, and Gaudí's contributions at a leisurely pace. Alberto is a fantastic guide who makes this full-day trip enjoyable. He kept us all on time while giving us enough time to explore. The chosen lunch venue was also perfect. I recommend this trip for all those who have little time to visit Barcelona and make the most of a day of exploration."

Before booking Barcelona activities on the ground, read the fine print to understand what the price you'll pay includes. Most city tours don’t cover the cost of admission to top sites like Sagrada Familia & Park Güell. And keep in mind that these locations may be under construction or undergoing renovations when you visit. People like to joke that Sagrada Familia will never be finished. If you’re short on time, look for tours that include skip-the-line access.

To fully enjoy Barcelona activities on the ground, try to book a morning tour or experience if you’re doing something active. While Barcelona is cooler than Madrid, it’s also more humid. Make sure you bring cash to pay for entry fees to sites on your tour. Often, your guide will collect the money and pay for you. That said, don’t bring too much cash or valuables you don’t need. Barcelona is a wonderful place to visit, but it’s also one of the pickpocket capitals.

If you're short on time, you can still find Barcelona activities to fit your schedule. Here are the best Barcelona activities on the ground to book if you just have an hour or less:

• Welcome to Barcelona Segway and eScooter Tour
