Barcelona Art & Culture

Gründlich recherchiert. Mir gefallen die vielen Updates, die das App auf den neusten Stand hält. Die Autoren haben viele Reisebücher über den Mittelmeerraum geschrieben und kennen Barcelona wie ihre Westentasche.

This is a must for anyone planning a trip to Barcelona. Chalked full of history, practical information and resources I would highly recommend getting this App. Its worth every cent! Each section is broken into subsections and those subsections have all the info, phone numbers and contact information for each subject. There weren’t as many pictures as I was initially expecting however, this app allowed me to actually navigate my way while in Barcelona and made planning my trip easy and fun! Thoughtfully written and very well made- I’m so glad I got this App

Barcelona is my favorite of the cities I've toured in about 20 trips to Spain, France, Italy, England, Ireland and Greece. This app makes me yearn to go back for more. Barcelona Unbound provides the perfect blend of history, art, photography, practical travel advice and directions to gastronomic delights for those who are visiting or just want to know more about one of the most striking cities in Europe. Anyone who has enjoyed the numerous travel guides on Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Hell, Mars and beyond written by the wife and husband team of Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls will come away well satisfied with the couple's initial foray into electronic publishing. If Barcelona is on your itinerary, Barcelona Unbound belongs on your iPad and in your travel bag. Facaros and Pauls lead the journey through the largest city in Catalonia. Anarchy, Sagrada Familia, Gaudi, Mirò, Museu Picasso, Santa Maria del Mar, Vicky Christina Barcelona walking tours, the Catalan Crapper, Museu de l'Eròtica, it's all there, and then some. Whether you are planning a visit to the second largest city in Spain, or just want day dream and read about a walkable city where beauty and creativity abounds, this app is the guide for you.

Barcelona Art and Culture really ripped the boundaries from Barcelona. The map feature has a variety of categories which made finding the museums and all the attractions a simple task, identifying each flag with a name and a picture. The app is easy to operate, even for a novice, and we had no trouble using it to access any information we needed. Useful hints, such as suggesting we get our Sagrada Familia tickets online ahead of time, had us skipping a line that curved around for over a block. Since English explanations around the city were rare, the app's background and detailed stories enriched our experience. I would not have known about the secret past of Christopher Columbus or the elevator in his monument or the impact of the anarchists The vivid photographs were an added bonus. I hope Facaros and Pauls create apps for all the places we want to visit.

If you're going to Barcelona, buy this app!! Mike Pauls and Dana Facaros are the best travel writers out there- not only hugely knowledgeable, smart and witty, but fun just to read while killing time in the airport, in your hotel room or on the metro etc– their Cadogan guides are great (I have over a dozen of them) and this app is like their books...only more fun because there are thousands of great pix! Food entries spot on, too, and loved the bit on Catalan music. Just got the new update. Fantastic! The best app gets better. Just back form a short trip to my favorite city. This ap remains indispensable. October 2012.

We walked past a line that curved around for over a block. We took their suggestion to try Les Quinze Nits and went back again for very reasonably priced and tasty meals. Since we didn't find many explanations in English around the city, the background and detailed stories enriched our experience at every site. I never would have known about the secret past of Christopher Columbus or the elevator in his monument or the impact of the anarchists. The vivid photographs were just an added bonus. I hope that Facaros and Pauls write apps for the places we want to visit next year.

I appreciate the way these authors maintain this info. They've never let me down. Thx.

I never thought an app could replace a good book, but this one proves me wrong. The incredibly detailed city map, zoomable down to intersection level is loaded with reference icons. The articles range from overviews to individual attractions to walks, all written in an entertaining, witty and obviously deeply knowledgeable style. This one can be the replacement for all that paper!

This app would be great because I can tell it has a lot of good information on it, but it is pretty much unusable because it freezes and crashes very frequently on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad (most recent model). Very disappointing for an app that is $5

Easy to use. Works well for my 3 day trip. A bit slow on iPhone 4S.
