Barcelona is a vibrant country full of enchanting wonders that make it one of the best places to visit on earth. You can’t wait for the day of departure to get here. You’ve probably been thinking about it for hours on end since you booked your travel tickets. All this excitement is good but it can cloud your judgment. This can have a direct adverse effect and possibly cut short or altogether ruin your experience. So to help you cover all your bases, here’s a Barcelona travel tours checklist of things you need to sort out before embarking on your trip.
1. Your Passport and Visa
You know you have your passport and you have had your visa for quite some time, but are they up to date? The first thing you need to sort out when preparing for your holiday in Barcelona is to make sure that your passport and your visa are valid. Check and make sure that your passport has at least six months or more time to go before it expires. You don’t want your passport to expire leaving you stranded in a country where you know nobody, do you?
2. Visit your general Practitioner
The purpose of visiting your general practitioner is to make sure that you get all the necessary vaccinations. If you suffer health conditions such as asthma, arthritis, anxiety and so on, you need to visit your doctor to get your prescriptions written/stamped, your medicine replenished, and have a thorough full body check-up.
On your part, go online and search for information regarding health concerns that you need to be aware of as a foreigner. Some countries require you to get shots for prevalent diseases in the area at least six weeks prior to your departure.
3. Stuff Your Wallet
They say that it’s probably not a good idea to carry money in form of cash especially when traveling. But reports show that foreigners become victims of credit card theft or assault when using ATM machines overseas. What’s more, different ATM machines accept different types of debit cards. If you find that yours is incompatible, you can breathe easy because you still have some money in your pockets. Go to your bank and get your money changed into the currency they use in Barcelona. For example, if you’re coming from the states get your dollars exchanged for Euros.
Bottom-line
Traveling should be fun and breathtaking for everyone. With the few tips above, your Barcelona travel tours can be hitch-free and full of unforgettable experiences. Remember to pack appropriately a few days to your trip and bring the right attire depending on which time of the year you will be traveling.
