How much does a trip to Barcelona cost?

In Barcelona the bed and the calendar drive the total — congress and festival weeks cost more than any season does — while transport barely moves the needle. Set your trip below for an honest estimate in euros: a range, not a fake-precise number, across lodging, food, getting around and tickets. Adjust the nights, travelers, hotel vs. apartment and your style, and the total updates instantly. The per-person nightly tourist tax added at checkout sits outside these figures.
