A: We used Locker Barcelona last November. It’s located about 1 minutes walks from the Airport Bus bus stop on Placa Catalyuna (The main square at the top of Las Ramblas). https://lo... ckerbarcelona.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAlp2fBhBPEiwA2Q10D3ieCdC8oX8U8s2vLKyVPDVf53dSIJcdyxMvPlTfsL4HD57XXNlbWxoC6-QQAvD_BwE. I’ve also used BagsnGo too. We dropped our bags at the pier and they delivered them to the airport for us. The only drawback is that they didn’t have an office and the airport and you had to meet the van at a specific time to retrieve your bags at the airport.See More
Answered by maddy2017 on February 11, 2023
A: I'm thinking it's probably a good idea not to store the luggage right on the pier but to take it to one of the spots close to La Rambla. That way, you won't have to pay a taxi 20€ just to go get your luggage.
Answered by Schlinger on February 9, 2023
A: Yes. According to Google Maps, there is one "Bags&Go" right on the pier and several "Bounce Luggage Storage" locations in close proximity

Q: Any recommendations for a 3-4 hour group city tour post-cruise in Barcelona with hotel or airport drop off? Ship arrives at 1:00 PM and the tours I found leave at 8:30 AM. Private tours are $ 300-500 and I will be solo.

A: There is a hop on hop off bus for about $35. Get your ticket to Famila Sagrada before you arrive… you cannot purchase same day tickets. Cabs are very reasonable in Barcelona. Go directly to Familia Sagrada … (you have to pick a time) with a cab,... then get the hop on hop off bus or cab it.See More

A: To be honest, I purchased a Rick Steves book on Amazon for Mediterranean Cruise Ports. In that book, there are walking tours you can take on your own. There's also a Rick Steves app that has audio tours for the same as the walking tours. App is free.... We also purchased the Hop on Hop off bus tickets. It was an excellent way to see Barcelona!! Also, VERY cost effective.See More

A: Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia are very doable on your own with public transport. We visited Barcelona last week. We dropped our bags in a luggage store near the square and visited Mont Juïc.
